Hi guys! I'm really sorry that this has taken so damn long to come about, but I had a very rough patch a while back and it took me a good 3 weeks to fully...
Looks great! Did you do the 3D graphics as well? Cheers, Josh ... From: visual_outbreak [mailto:alex.norton@...] Sent: Wednesday, 4 March 2009 11:01...
I should have all the bits lying around, don't have a hot glue gun though... Good excuse to get one :). The kids will love this robot. I made a similar one...
Haha sounds awesome! Since it's so quick and cheap to build, you should get the kids involved with making some! As I get photos sent to me, I'll do up a...
Excellent work on the tutorial. Since you went to the effort of the graphics I think I'll make one just to go in the gallery. Stay tuned after the weekend ;) ...
Niiiiiiiice! I plan on doing a whole series of tutorials as I go. They'll get more and more advanced and some will be for isolated systems such as sensors and...
Alex, You mention you are using microcontrollers in your next tutorial, just wondering which type, PIC (or picaxe), AVR (or Ardunio) etc etc? I volunteer to...
That would be very much appreciated, Nigel. I will be using a PIC16 for the micro project, and will be programming it with a free PicBasic compiler. Before I...
Hi, Paul Nielsen directed me to this group as I approached him looking for assistance to develop a microcontroller based project for use in the disability...
I have not worked with the Vmusic2 module before and the documentation is spread across lots of pdfs which I don't have to time to read right now. For the...
You know, I think this is absolutely possible. You just need alot of IO pins in the micro that you end up using. I would suggest a Parallax Propellor micro. It...
You could look here for some inspiration http://elm-chan.org/works/cube/report.html Uses an AVR to run the show. An of the shelf MP3 decoder IC Stores...
The Vmusic2 module I chose because there is a Silicon Chip MP3 project that uses a PicAxe and a Vmusic2 module. It doesn't do what I want but the basic concept...
Ian, OK - well if you already have the vmusic that settles that question. Slowest part of the process is going to be wiring up the A3 sized kaypad matrix. ...
Hi all! Anyone have a go at building the robot in my first tutorial over the weekend? I'd love to see some pictures! My next tutorial will be microcontroller...
Andrew Yes, in BNE on the Northside at Bracken Ridge. For the initial trial run I was just going to use a keypad. Once the functional side was established the...
To those of us who came to the last RobotSIG group, can we settle on some size and weight restrictions, etc on the robot sumo competition, and an order of...
Ian, Membrane keyboards are prob not a good idea for a few reasons. 1, Expensive in small qty 2, longevity 3, Lack of tactile feedback for the disabled child ...
Andrew N key roller is not required, as you guessed, as there is no matter if two keys are pressed simultaneously I had a go at making up a mock up of the A3...
For an input device, have you had a look at http://monome.org/?? Sparkfun sells a 4x4 kit with PCB, LED's and silicon buttons. You can get the tri-colour...
I saw buttons in the rides at the shopping centre (I have small kids:), the image was under a clear plastic cover on top of the big square buttons. This would...
I had all good intentions, but I only got as far as buying a hot glue gun! We ran into some issues with our renovations and they took up my whole weekend! ...
hahaha that's fair enough. These things happen. At least you made SOME progress with the glue gun! Let me know how you go. I'm waiting on a new PIC development...
Joshua Thanks I'll keep an eye out. Cheers Ian ... From: I-Wherrett, Joshua To: robot_sig@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 8:31 AM Subject: RE:...

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Glad to hear you had fun! I'll get on top of uploading your photos to the site. Can you use Windows Movie Maker to turn the...
