Why No Mac :,( ?

My PC recently decided to give up on life; actually the hard drive broke. So I decided that instead of paying over and over again to get this thing fixed I'd switch to a Mac. But DJ, why dont you support the mac yet? stress I have a solution! One of the key features of Lion OS X is the apps (or at least I think this is a new feature). So why not...

Suggestions For Component Boxes

I could not belive how many boxes I have for my robot project. When I look at the screen it's full like 6 servo, 2 h-bridges, the big camera, radar, voice recognition and the list goes on. I really like the auto arrange feature but every time I add a new component they all get switched around. Now my suggestion is since it is a window box for say...

Pretty Cool Controller Project.

I found something today that I thought I'd share with you all here as I'm sure more than one of you might find it useful to integrate into your robot projects.

Slider Question At 45%

I hooked up two motors through a H bridge and everything seemed ok at first. I noticed that as I moved the slider up and down it had a shift in the speed on each motor. It appears that when the slider is at 45%, the ez-b output goes to 5 Volts. I thought maybe it's a problem with my motors or H bridge, so I put a meter on another digital port. It...

Wii Hack

Has anyone created wii scripts in any project, as I have searched cloud examples and have been unable to locate any. Is it possible to search cloud examples for commands used in a particular project without actually opening ? Found a novel way to increase bluetooth range to Robot with onboard pc A wii Remote ,gives a range of up to 12 yards, so I...

I2c Compass/Accelerometer Lsm303dlh Help

Hi, I've been playing around with this sensor and I haven't had any luck getting it to work with ARC. The Script I am using is this: I2CStart() I2CRestart() I2CWrite(0x3C) //write mag I2CWrite(0x30) //Select register OUT_X_L_M I2CStart() I2CReStart() I2CWrite(0x3D) //read mag I2CRead(Auto,8) Even though I get a reading, it never changes I get the...

The Fourth Quadrant And Robotics

I read this really good article about inventors, markets, and open source. It is worth checking out. Innovation isn't a matter of left or right This makes me pretty excited about the revolution platform.

Bluetooth
