Spending my holiday break once again attempting to get my controller to do something. Anything. Installed the Extensions into the Extensions Manager. Rewrote...
(Using Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Flash MX Pro 7.0) Got the XML Server running, I have Heavy running, I can HTTP into the controller and get the state of the ports....
The Flosc library is trying to load the Delegate class - this is a class that was introduced in Flash MX 2004 7.2. Do you have the option to upgrade your...
OH HAPPY DAYS! It works! Upgrading to Flash MX 2004 7.2 from 7.0 fixed it. <smile> Now why didn't someone mention that sooner? - Had an issue with upgrading...
Excellent - glad to hear it's working. I've added a little note about the 7.2 requirement and retrieved the missing images in the Processing tutorial - thanks...
Hi Folks, I'm trying to set a delay in actionscript to control a relay. The problem is that the relay switches but goes crazy almost immediately. This is the...
Hi again, I'm still struggling with this delay buisness. The delay only seems to work one time and then changes according to the frame rate of the project??? ...
Hi, The code is on the first frame of the scene - not an MC but it shoud be re-executing so that it keeps checking the sensor input and responding - that's...
Ok I found it - it's over my head though unfortunately. I just need to trigger (using a light sensor) a relay to flick a switch for 30 seconds and then back...
onEnterFrame() is called at the framerate of your SWF and acts like a 'clock tick' and will repeatidly call your setInterval timer. BTW, a stop(); simply stops...
All right -- someone still uses Teleo! ; ) So if onEnterFrame() is called at your movie's framerate, 24 or 12 or whathaveyou, then a counter that is...
Hello Makingthings Group Members, I have a few questions: • Does anyone have any Flash examples for Make Controller stepper motor control? • I have found...
Rick, I have been having some luck with steppers from old inkjet printers. They vary in their specifications, but most of the ones I have found worked directly...
Hello Jak, Thank you for the reply. I actually have harvested several steppers from printers and scanners and old disk drives already, but what I am looking...
Hello Making Things. I have been successfully controlling servos with the Make Controller (both from mc helper and flash), so I made my first attempt at...
Rick, I cannot help you with the spec (unfortunately), but here is another suggestion for high powered steppers. The controller is already generating the...
Hey Rick - this probably means you're not using a new enough version of the firmware (Heavy) on the Make Controller, as the stepper controls have only been...
Hey Rick - I haven't played around too much with stepper motors and Flash quite yet, so that's probably the main reason there's not much sample code! If you...
this http://www.acroname.com/robotics/info/ideas/stacking/stacking.html suggests that the h-bridge chips used on the make application board can be stacked to...
Multiple chips will increase current capacity, but not quite linearly, unless the chips are perfectly matched, and they never are. The lower resistance switch...

I see that Acroname really means "stacking" literally, which makes a switch time fault less likely, though I would not try for zero off time. And the added...

I have been pretty busy over the last week and haven't been able to focus much attention to my make controller since the issue but I have taken the time to...
I recently upgraded the firmware to gain stepper motor functionality (which I am also having issues with), but seemed to have lost analog input capabilities. ...
Anyone at MT (or anywhere else) have any experience with steppers and the Make Controller? I've been following Rick's pleas for help with stepper motor control...
Hi there - essentially the situation is this: the stepper motor subsystem was introduced in firmware v 1.10.xx, and it relies on a high resolution timer that...
jak, could you possibly share your method of connecting those kinds of steppers to the controller? i just pulled a couple epson inkjet steppers i'd like to...
Pat, It all depends on the motor! In the specific case I was talking about I had a four wire bipolar. These are common, and the simplest to figure out. Start...
