Hey guys, I've got a couple of prototypes i'm trying to build and want to work out whether i can do this with the making things kit. Firstly, an LED wall,...
You want an X-Y grid of LEDs, or spinning tassels or pneumatic cylinders or toothpaste tubes. This recapitulates the history of television, several times. You...

I've got some questions about the Teleo XML Server. We're going to use Flash with Teleo Hardware, but we don't known which platform/os to choose. I think we...
Yes. We're anticipating at least another few weeks. Sorry for the delay. D. Matt Foley wrote: I ordered my Make controller several weeks ago, I know they were ...
Hi- I just connected a Teleo intro board (V1.2) to my MacBook Pro. It seems to work fine, but if I set the bit depth to more than 6, then I get a pile of this...
This can happen when the board is sending at a higher resolution than the system thinks it should. Two possible causes: 1) there's a reboot happening on your...
Hello, I'm sorry to post stupid questions. I just read MAKE Controller Kit Alpha documents, and I have a questions. It seems that Op Amps and Half H Brige ICs...
Makingthings Stepper Block seems like it might work for a project idea I have but I wanted input on what the group could suggest would be the best way to...
Does anyone know where to buy a proper power supply for the teleo? I have looked at a couple places and kind find one that matches. Thanks, Steve -- Steve...
I think I know how to create this but maybe someone can validate my idea. I want to use a motor with a propeller on it to act as a wind sensor. The wind being...
Hey Bret, Not sure if anyone answered this or not, but you would probably be better off using the piezo reed sensor to sense air pressure / movement... This...
Hey Steve, You can get them direct from makingthings.com or you can order one from somewhere like bgmicro.com or allelectronics.com or jameco.com. if you order...
Scott Snibbe did something with a breath sensor last year. Might be worth looking at? http://www.snibbe.com/scott/breath/blowup/index.html By the way, I put...
i think u had man a good dession in selecting the siepper moter and if u want to control the moter so that it have to stop at that paticula point then u have...
Our iCubeX died, well I'm not even sure it ever worked properly in the first place since I 'inherited' it from another dept... what does this have to do with...
Hi there - just to comment quickly on the sensors...the Teleo boards will work great with any device out there that can spit out a 0-5V signal, and this list...
Can sombodt point me toward resources about how to develop low cost sensors? Assume they will either: plug into a smart host (the new Make controller) that ...
Please forgive the stupid question but I have looked everywhere for docs on this. I understand that supplying 0-5V to the inputs will make the servos turn. But...
Hi Brett, I4 - doesn't exist - it's only present on the diagram in the doc. That is an error on our part. R - is the input to control the rate of servo...
Helps tons. Thanks david. Since the blocks are being discontinued I suppose there really isn't much point in making a better docs page. If there is i don't...
Ok one more question. When hooking the block up to the intro module do you use the digital outs or the PWM outs? Does the voltage effect the speed of the servo...
You can use the two PWM's to control servos, or one PWM to control a servo and another to control the servo rate. The jumper connects the trimpot to the R...
Hi all, I had a few questions about controlling the stepper block through the PWM and/or digital outs. It is related to the servo block input question. I...
Hey Mat, I think you're good to go with one Intro Module. Use a PWM through low pass filter for each. You'll send duty cycles to the PWM's to get them to ...
