Yes, I have the book on Processing and the one titled "Making Things Talk" (which is excellent by the way). And you're right, Wiring, which is used for the...
Processing is mainly intended to bridge the gap between artists and programmers, allowing artists to create visual software with minimal code. It seems to...
The NXT motors include rotary encoders, so the NXT does a pretty good job of going straight using the built-in firmware. Also, the encoders can be read to...
I have tried some and found the differences between two motors (with the same power), 1 to 4 degrees, after run 1 meter. Any clues how to correct this? Fyi,...

Howdy, Richard, that would be great. If you or someone can shoot video of the talk and Larry is agreeable, I can make a couple DVDs from the video. Looks like...

Power source is in the arm - Lithium batteries. Control is variable- depending on the capabilities of the user. The following article talks about one guy using...
I'm not entirely sure just how it is controlled. I think there are many options depending one the situation of the wearer. One included "switches" in the...

As others have mentioned, the Wiring language is based on Processing, but is geared for people doing embedded programming. It can be used on either the Arduino...
Processing is based on Java, and it's embedded cousin Wiring is based on C++. I'm not as familiar with Processing as I am with Wiring, but I know that Wiring...
Hope 1 degree difference for 2.5 meter distance :) Someone tell me, Move Block in NXT-G has a PID control (CMIIW). I am using this block to make it "straight"....

One great feature of Processing is that it can export a java applet or standard jar files so it could be run on any embedded device that supports those- though...

One thing you might try although I don't know if it would buy you anything would be to disconnect the motors from the internal drivers and then take each motor...
I've built a dual differential drive system in Legos. While it does provide a straight path, there is so much play in the gears that the initial pointing...
I think what they mean by "mind controlled" is that the user is controlling the arm directly, without some artificial external control. So, while some users...
Right, it is fundamentally Java. I think the main advantages are convenience and popularity: a novice can download and run it, write a single line of code...
