I'm trying to create arrays "on the fly" in Visual Basic. I asked at Applebee's after the meeting and got some suggestions and I finally got something working....
Jeff -- What you coded looks pretty much what I would expect, given your problem constraints. You might get a little more efficiency by creating a class1 ...
Hi gang, Sorry I couldn't make the last meeting- I was still on the road, coming back from the installation of Pipedream III in Toronto. I'm sure Jeff and ...
Bruce, I'd be concerned about running the signal wires beyond 10'. I've seen issues with TTL level signals beyond 10' in factory robotics. Good practice...
... As a test I would hookup the system using 100' cables and coil the cables into loops. Test the system. If it works you are much less likely to have...
I think Alan is out of town. So don't go to his house for Robot Shop of Horrors, Friday June 23rd. -- Jeff Sampson http://tcrobots.org/members/jsamp.htm...
I'm no expert, but I would probably use solid wire for the motor power. Isn't standard house wiring either 16 gauge or 14 gauge. It has to be cheap to put in...
For the motor wires, use either solid or stranded conduit wires and run them in the metal conduit. Servo controller's generally don't drive the pairs...
Thanks Bryan, Jeff and Bill. All of your comments help a lot. From what I see Compumotor using in their cables, and your insights, I feel like I can make a...

I built a wrist last night, but think I've reduced my needs even further. (Simple is good). I'll save that wrist probably for a head... It has a 12 conductor...
I might yet choose to add a slight rotational or side swing motion to the mechanical digit besides open and close to enhance the digit tip's aimability. I've...
I just finished one work project where I uses a Atmega16 and wrote the code in assembly code. Now I'm starting another project and I'm questioning if I should...
Hi Bill, ... Are you sure? Maybe you should choose a different ARM family (like the Philips or ST Micro). Many have 5v tolerant inputs. After helping Larry...
Luminary also has an embedded arm core but I don't have any idea if it has the oomph you need. BTW, Has anyone installed and played with the MS robotics SDK...
