You can get the latest oobug.bio file here--> http://oobug.com/DWNLD/oobug101.zip

It is called oobug101.bio so we have some version control and I will use this naming convention in all future releases.

Version 101 includes MoodOn and MoodOff so you don't have to memorize PIC.PortA.TRIS.RA0 = 0 and PIC.PortA.TRIS.RA0 = 1 to dissassociate the Mood Led from the CAB. Also included is a basic Speak object (BETA) that has no flow control. Be careful to limit the amount of data you send through Speak for right now.

Have fun and learn more at http://oobug.com/Forum (sample code available)

Well Merry ooBug Christmas!

I am sorry your ooBug did not come with the DNA chips, I believe it
should have as I do not think we have hit the trigger point that limits
how many are released. I will check it out and get back to you on
Monday. In the meantime, email me your name and shipping address so
that I can get them to you. No, they are not necessary for use of your
oobug. We have not released just what they are for to the public yet,
call it another Christmas present!

PIC.PortA.TRIS.RA0 = 0 ' Turn the CAB button off & the Mood LED on.
That is the magic line of cade that makes the Mood Led user
programmable. Change the 0 to a 1 and it is hardware only. You can find
an example of this if you open the Demo_Mood_Led.bio file.

Just a note, I am working on the oobug.bio file right now to make the
toggle of the Mood Led an object you can call instead of all of that
code. Look for it today!

Please look for answers in the new oobug Forum located at
http://oobug.com/Forum

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I have a few questions about my ooBug that I just got for Christmas.

1.  Mine didn't come with the "dna" microchips.  Are they necessary?
What purpose do they serve?  Are they just additional PIC microchips
for storage purposes?  If so, which chip is it??  I few different 8
pin chips for other projects that I could use if necessary.

2.  My mood light only comes on when the CAB is pushed.  Is there a
way to disassociate the mood light from the CAB button so that it is
automatically showing a mood whenever it is on per the program
installed without the need to push the CAB to check the mood?

Thanks!!

I just uploaded a new (Version 100) oobug.bio file for your Biolab compilers. Get it at oobug.com .

In this version there are several student created objects as well as some work on MakeNoise and on some speech stuff.

*NOTE* You download the oobug.bio file and replace the oobug.bio file that is in your Biolab software. Alternatively, you can rename this version to something else and call that name from within your program.

OOBUG IS BACK! We are sorry for the heartache and inconvenience we have caused any of our users, future users and resellers.

My home, where the ooBug creation takes place, was badly damaged from fire due to faulty wiring in September. My office which contained all things ooBug was a total loss and insurance and rebuilding were slow. The repairs are now finished and much of the work recovering and rebuilding software and manuals etc.. has been completed. We have an all new website that will be accessible in 24 hours (waiting for domain transfer).

We can only hope you understand that my home and family were the priorities during this last couple of months. Precautions have been taken that will prevent this from happening in the future. I am basically a one man band playing a long tune.

If anyone needs any help or information immediatly, I will try and stay logged on here until midnight PCT.
 
Again, we are very sorry and thank you for your continued support. 

For those that sent words of support and encouragement during the rebuilding ,Thank you many times over. 

Ted (BIGBUG)
ps I am working off of dial up so be a little patient for my replies..

Thank you. It wasn't there when I went looking for it earlier and
noone at Savage would answer my questions.

Yeah, I noticed that. I have an un-built ooBug here. Seems I have been

There is a Files link here on the ooBug group.  If you follow that
you should get to links for the latest biolab software as well as
the latest version of the manual.
The manual gives a decent intro into the programming.  Otherwise you
need to look at the ooPic manual on that site for more details on
the programming language.

I hope oobug.com gets going again too.  I hope this helps though,

Hi there,

Anybody know where I could find any OOBug documentation? I'm not able
to find anything, especially when oobug.com has been down for ages.

Just got first oobugs today and no documentation inside the box.
Assembly itself was pretty simple but after that all I have is biolab
and few examples there.

I have some experience with similar products so I manage but for
somebody who's just getting familiar with robotics, oobug is quite a
challenge.

I'm trying to sell these things also and it would be nice to know even
something. Something other than "just look at the examples" :)

For a commercial product, oobug seems really incomplete. I'm hoping
oobug.com will be available soon and lack of docs will be fixed.

Hi, I'm not in any position of authority nor am I affiliated with
OObug or OOpic in any way, but I think you will find a wealth of
information about your OObug at the new group that OOpic users go on
at http://groups.google.com/group/oopic_micro?lnk=srg

They used to have a Yahoo Group, but because the moderator flew the
coop and they had horrible spam problems, they moved to a new Google
Group.

I think if you explain your situation they will be able to provide you
with everything you need, because OObug is a sub-group of OOpic.

Hope this helps, if not, sorry to hear about your frustration, and
good luck with your projects.

Well, after almost a month, my ooBug arrived today. I opened the
package and removed the packing slip which reads:

1 ooBug    ooBug Education Robot with booklet

No booklet. In fact, no documentation of any sort. So I go to
http://www.ooBug.com
. They are still saying that they are working on their web site. I
click on the link to the OOBug Yahoo group. I look in the files
section hoping to find some documentation. Under files there is a
folder for the ooBug Users Manual. I open it to find ... it is empty.

Well, there is the BioLab installer. That folder is not empty. I am
hoping that somewhere in there I will find something that tells me how
to assemble the ooBug.

I try to install the software. Seems it has no extension so Windows
doesn't know what to do with it. I add ".exe" to the end of the file
name and now windows can install it. The readme file tells me not to
use the tutorials as it will crash BioLab. Great.

I get BioLab running and try to use the "Browse Directory" under
"File" in an attempt to find a program to load. That doesn't work. I
try File>Open and manage to find a program to load. I load the line
follower program.

I start poking around at the objects. Just for grins I right-click on
an object and then select "Help Page". I get the error message:

	 Help File: "ovar.htm" not found.
	    Please update help files.

I try this for several objects and get the same message for every one.
Only the file name changes.

So, let's recap ...

1. It takes a month to get the ooBug to me even though the web site
says it is in stock. Even the packing slip says 9/11/2008. Maybe UPS
misdelivered it. Hmm, looking back on the UPS tracking I see that they
picked up the package on 9/29. I wonder what happened to it from 9/11
to 9/29?

2. The packing list says ooBug and manual. No manual.

3. The web site is down.

4. The Yahoo Group has a manual in its file section ... uh ... no it
doesn't.

5. I do manage to download and install the software ... after I rename
the installer so it will run. No docs for the objects.

6. I give up.

This is a joke. You know, even when I have done one-off quick-n-dirty
projects for people I have done a better job than this.

And to think I was considering replacing all our Parallax Scribblers
and BoeBots with ooBugs. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

OK, I posted once with no reply. I am posting again. I ordered an ooBug over two
weeks ago.
My PayPal account was debited so you have the money. I have heard nothing more.
I placed
the order when your site claimed you had stock so it should have shipped.
Regardless, if you
back order isn't it customary (required by law I believe) to notify the
customer?

So, where is my ooBug?

(I have been trying to give you guys the benefit of the doubt but you certainly
make it
difficult.)

Brian Lloyd

i have an oobug and it works fine but i have no clue how to create a
code that will work. i have already downloaded the software, but there
where no tutoials or examplesthat came with it. what do i do?

Over two weeks ago I purchased an OOBug. PayPal shows that my account
has been debited. Anyone at Savage wish to comment on the delay?

Hi all,

I probably overlooked something when I signed up with Yahoo groups
(which, by the way was a very unpleasant experience...somehow I kept
getting the feeling that I was applying for a Yahoo mortgage with all
the questions.  If I wanted a damn Yahoo toolbar or another friggin
email account I would go looking for one, thank you very much!)

ahem

Anyway, I see no posts after August.  Surely there must be some since
the forum moved here, until oobug.com is healthy again?

just wondering,
Pat

Sorry guys for being pretty quiet the last few days... We took a direct
lightening strike to our phone box out on the county road Saturday
afternoon and are just now back to where we can use phone for data. We
had telephone late Monday for a few minutes then more static.

You never really know how hard it is to survive without the net until
you just can't get it.

I just posted a list of Musical Notes in the Files -> Soundgin Data
