Self-awareness has been achieved, the·vertical·stability·function has been activated, audio response circuits are fully functional, and the·motion control·algorithms continue to self-optimize.

    erco - there's so much activity and lights on that, it could probably entertain them for hours!

    Whit: That's why you should have dropped in when you recently visited Disneyland, just 30 miles away from me! My house is the SECOND happiest place on earth. You could have stared at the 400 flashing LEDs for hours, as I often do... My own Main Street Electrical Parade.

    Diagram??? We don't need no stinkin' diagram!

    For once, I let the EEs at work do all the electronics, they used EMC micros. As I previously posted, it was amusing to see their EMC emulator continually crash, and they destroyed as many boards as they used. Made me appreciate the simplicity and reliability of all the Parallax products!

    I was busy doing all the mechanicals, includiing drilling all 400 holes for the LEDs, power distribution, and getting four plasma hubcaps working with slip ring power connectors!

    Erco:

    Disneyland? I would go there just to see your lab and projects. I'm sure it's BETTER than Disneyland.

    I like that you mentioned self awareness is now achieved. You should post the topic so others will know. I'm sure I live in the future. Ever have that feeling?
