I saw the code PTP posted, i added it into the script, and nothing worked, i mentioned that in my actual thread, but its a thread that gets lost easily...

This is the thread i made-It says RGB LED Help Needed? https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/10471

I added the code in the script, nothing worked, but i was very grateful for the assistance.

I know Nomad offered his help, he was the only one offering me help for awhile. I said i would accept his offer for that, but this has deflated me to the point im just wanting to move on and complete my first robot.

But yeah i will admit the eyes were important to me...its a humanoid so the eyes are somewhat important, but now im left with a cyclops looking robot...who knows i might just grow to like it..

I posted some suggestions in that thread, let's move the conversation there to now hijack @zxens's discussion. I'll reply to this actual comment there.

I was going to say the same thing, we hijacked this thread bad. I spammed it with photos hope the OP forgives me for that.

I think your photos were right on target for answering his question, so no issues there.

Note: there are two ways to connect a speaker. The one you used uses the built in amplifier of the EZ-B. If you want a louder speaker or volume control, than there are different connectors to wire to an amplifier. The tutorial link that DJ posted has tutorials on both methods.

The speaker i used first was crazy loud...but it gave me a fun idea for a project that's for sure. That built in amp is awesome. The speaker im using now is from a small radio, much smaller but so loud still, but the TDK speaker had the uber bass.

Thanks for letting me know about the pics.

@Zxen I wanted to mention that your original board is still very much salvageable, you just have to connect to different spots now. Check out this picture for some suggested new contact points:

@Techguru I don't work with lead-based solder anymore but when I do I usually use 650-700°F depending on what I'm soldering and the thickness of the tip. Although there are many different reasons to increase or decrease the temperature based on a variety of factors, I use 750°F as a general rule for lead free solder.

@NEWAGETOMY I was debating about doing a quick video tutorial on RGB LEDs, would it still help or have I missed the boat?

@Zxen, too bad you choose to get upset about being told that you can do better. The people who you think hurt your feeling (including myself) just want to see you succeed in producing a quality and safe robot. I've reread my post and I personally don't see anything mean or offensive about anything I said and believe it to be the truth. I suggest that if you can't deal with your work being analyzed and commented on then don't post pictures and ask for opinions and help. Just be careful that you don't seriously hurt yourself or others messing around the things you may not understand (like electricity).

Btw, my mother tought me to gracefully accept constructive criticism and learn from it. She also tought me to speak the truth and help others when I can. I have no doubt that if she were still living today, she would be very proud of me. cool

@Jeremie,

i would love to see a video tutorial..you read my mind for i was almost going to ask last night. It would help me and many others..so the boat is still anchored!

@DaveSchulpius,

i read it also and there was nothing offensive at all. Richard R is very direct, but again he is 100% correct in saying he has to up his game...but the words he chose were 100% wrong. I never would have said it in those words.
