Hi Kelvin,

Strangely enough I am currently working on the identical same thing, except I'm using my own robot and not a BOE.

What Allan suggests above is certianly the correct approach for...

Thanks for your replies chaps, I'll get some more parts and see what I can come up with.

Thanks Bruce, this is just one of many different circuits I have tried; The link you posted I have read previously, I will try that one but I would need some extra parts.

Hello all,

I was hoping someone could assist me with a problem I have with one of my current projects. The basic idea was to take a cheap RC monster truck I have, remove the circuitry, and then...

There's a whole load of information and links to schematics/tutorials for all sorts of motor control circuits here. I would imagine you can find something suitable.

To read serial data through VB you just need to add the MSComm control, then set the properties of it to match your device's output (baud, com port, etc), and in your form startup or on a button...

Hey inaki,

It would seem very strange that the problem is *identical* on both sets.

That would seem to indicate the signal generation software/hardware rather than the tv? I'm still wating...

The PAL specification can be VERY picky / fiddly when coding the raster for a given tv set.

Although the Propeller PAL mode may be coded very closely to the "standard" (although there are several...

Will the demo which "demonstrates the power of true parallel processing" be impressive enough to convince the Mrs of a worthy investment ? Maybe she'll get one too! :)

PJ Allen,

You are correct, it would be "It's Ross' squirrel!!". For some reason the more i think about something like that the more I confuse myself. Amazing really considering I'm English and...

There is one exception to this rule, and that is if the word already ends in an S, you just put the apostrophe on its own without an extra trailing S. However you are quite correct in that the...

Hi!

Excellent first little project – do you have any further plans for it? Perhaps you could invert its operation and make it find the darkest spot for fun

On the programming side, you asked if...

Paul,

I didn't realsie there was ANY official standard, only what a company would define for their workers!

Yes, it is true.

Generally with pseudo code the author will write it vaguely resembling the language they are using (assuming it's a high level language), but there is no standard.· I suppose it...

Sorry I mis-read your post and thought you HAD a BS2p. The article states they use a undocumented SPSTR serial modifer on the BS2p as you know.

Perhaps there is a workaround to this, Jon or Chris...

Well I don't have one myself - I pointed that article out as it seems to have a section on how to connect to a BS2 (I note a BS2p is mentioned later in the article so it must be possible)
