Many laptop computers no-longer include built-in COMx serial ports. If you would like to use your IntelliBrain controller with one of these PCs you can do so...
hi, has any one else had a problems in getting the com port 2 to work The program does not seem to do anything when run it. I have the robot connected to the...
I am a little confused by your question. I've used com1 and com2 on my intellibrain, IB, and they work fine. Just to be clear, com1 is the com port on the IB...
If you would like to allow your IntelliBrain-based robot to communicate to a host PC via an unteathered serial link, the following Bluetooth serial cable...
I am having a bit of trouble working around the PortAllocationConflict exception when trying to define an analog input. I am trying to create a method to get...
Hi Dash, The reason for compiler complaint about the exception is you are trying to initialize the member variable irRangeFinder using a method that throws an...
I picked up a cmp03. Should I be using the pwm or I2C interface. Does the base classes have a preference. Could you please tell me what cable to make up to...
Hi Howard, I think you are referring to the Devantech CMPS03 compass. You can interface it to your IntelliBrain via I2C or one of the pulse input ports...
I am trying to get a CMUcam2 working. It works fine when connected to the PC. When I download one of the test programs and then run, it starts and then...
Hi, This works fine either on COM1 or COM2 port. But if I want to realize a communication (strings and floating values) between a notebook (also a Java program...
RidgeSoft has released RoboJDE version 1.4, the latest version of its Java-enabled robotics software development environment for the IntelliBrain robotics...
Serial port events and listeners are not supported. You can probably use a separate thread to accomplish what you are wanting to do. The CMUcam classes use...
I've attached my GPSReader class. It's not commented :-( , but what it does is pretty simple. It's runnable so it goes on a separate thread. What it is doing...
Many thanks to you all for your valuable input! I will go into the details. By the way, last year I realized in J2ME a GPS reader with WGS transformation to CH...
I attached a switch to Analog 7 and as I expected got a value of 0 or 1023. When I attached the switch to Analog 15 I got a value of 0 or between 200 and 300....
Are you enabling the pull-up resistor? IntelliBrainAnalogInput input = IntelliBrain.getAnalogInput(15); input.setPullUp(true); When you use a switch you need...
Worked fine. Interesting 1023 is 1023 but 0 is 15. Any idea why? Why do the expansion ports need to a pullup resistor and the ones on the main board don't? ...
The reason it doesn't go to zero is the resistance of the switch. The switch and the pull-up resistor form a voltage divider circuit. When the switch is...
We are using a different configuration for on/off switches: the switch is between the signal and +5V, and there is a pull-down resistor between the signal and...
Carlos, The way you have connected the switches is reasonable provided you are drawing the +5V from the IntelliBrain board. The microcontroller chip can be...
Robofest is an annual autonomous robotics competition for students grades 5 – 12. Robofest challenges participants to design, construct, and program robots...
Hi, I am connecting an aircable bluetooth connector http://www.aircables.net/serial.html to the IntelliBrain-based robot and am hoping to form a wireless ...
Hi Tapan, Up to now I made only short feasability checks. (I am now more interestd in programming the gamatronix pid controllers via the I2C bus.) So I cannot...
Hi Tapan, According the the AirCable specifications (see http://www.aircable.net/support-serial.html) it draws 40 mA of current. This is less than 10% of the...
Another customer asked a question similar to Tapan's question regarding powering concerns: Can both the CMPS03 and the SP03 be supported a the same time? ...
When I try to build my program I get a Windows error dialog that jikes.exe has had a problem and would I like to send an error report. Error signature AppName...
