about me well started in elecronics in age i think 6 taking apart my first a/c outlet,then latter on worked on radio reparing,then started to repair TV'S and other electronics,and got a small degree in tv repair,so i open my shop for a few years,then went to college (FSU) AND got my electronic engineering degree,.then started working for electronic equipment company designing very high precision pcb ,in-house and final testers for 18 years my field is mostly sensor testing,dc-dc converter circuits and precision AC/DC source (not a power supply) its used for calibrating meters,i got my biggest bonus ever $65,000 for a ultra high precision AC/DC source .001% specs and very pure sinewave ROBOTS ? i guess was about 10 made a cardboard box robot,and they during work i guess 10 years ago started building robots i work for many other companies repairing slot machines ,pinball machines,all types of appliances and just about anything electronic,including computer repair for best buy, programming ? LISPWORKS very powerfull AI SOFTWARE,scripts,basic stamp,arduino and working on learning C++
SO GUYS lets here about you all
Yes it was a Leaf Yahoo group, one suggested from the site. It appears people are back around again. I just tried posting a new message.
I am running Windows 7. The directions specify that if you have 7 don't install the SAPI because it will mess up the preexisting SAPI. I did not try saying who I was. I was starting with Hello Leaf...
OK that's will see what they say.
@robotmaker
Mine uses the SMD atmega328p-MU version, it is only 15x20mm in size so about 3 quarters of a square inch (i think).
Your arduino is cool, i also made one of those with DIP IC that is only a bit larger, sent it to Lloyd
@NIEK thats same i made also ,had a pcb company make the board ,tiny bigger double sided with usb but found out not worth selling it to make any profit,to many others have it and selling cheap @sfoy are you using a webcam,second in windows 7 you need to place the files in the right folders, and did you sign up and joined the yahoo club,cant post if you didnt and in voice you need to train your voice if still having a problem posting you can contact alex that set up the club at [email protected] he is the moderator will be much easy to post message and get answers
@Niek & Robotmaker where did you get your boards made? I am looking to have one duplicated as a replacement. Spykee has a Wavestorm and I can't seem to find them anywhere.
@sfoy
I had my PCB's manufactured at Seeed studio's. Really good quality and price.
I bought the components from Mouser and hand-assembled them.
@sfoy pcb company problem they only make blank PCB like all pcb companies do if you have a bad board,i may be able to fix it for you,surface mount is very hard ,but can see if ca n be done
this one is one of the cheapest in usa with free pcb making software
To be honest I am not sure if it's a bad board.
Long story short I got Spykee, had a Linux developer help me set up my machine to play with his files. At the end of it he told me ok here's your new firmware. PS. I did nothing to the file.
I was then like ok new firmware, so I sent it to him and he broke.
I ordered the Max232 RS232 adapter. Tried following these directions (note they might as well be written in Greek to me) but uboot does not load and he is talking jibberish.
Bad Firmware Instructions
The Spykee forum is just about dead, no one helps and they don't really respond.
Now my goal is to use spykee's base, get rid of the body, make my own. I'd like to add an ez-board.
@sfoy thats what i am looking to do ,buy the spykee,but since i have so many many robots to use EZB ,not looking to get one yet,DJ going to make much much money off me,so far bought 6 boards and looking to get another 6 and that doesnt come close to my robot builds
