Thanks. The audio version will be good while driving, etc.

No video this week

, the recording messed up on my side. But here's a demo of the music visualizer I mentioned, and I figured out how to add video for next week's podcast.

I sure hope you guys get the video version up and running soon enough. I'm sick and tired of watching reruns of Ice Road Truckers and Hillbilly Handfishing on the Discovery channel. I need some cult-cha.

Oldbitcollector (Jeff) · 2012-04-26 17:23

OMG.. I thought you were kidding about Hillbilly Handfishing! (Until I Googled it!)

Help's on the way!!

Two minds have been blown. How do you even pitch that show? Visually, it's just a bunch of guys wading in a muddy swamp.

I can recommend reruns of 'I Shouldn't Be Alive' to tide you over - the next episode of The Prototypers will be out Sunday night.

Jeff and Nick -

You've inspired me to pick up a Wii remote and one of those Adafruit interface boards for my PropBOE. There must be thousands of other people out there who could benefit the same way. Adafruit has all the pieces.

I've been looking for a simple robot controller and this will work well. Might even try it on an ELEV-8 with XBee.

Thanks for the fine work of making this obvious to the novice like myself! <= yeah, I really am, not just sayin' that to make others at home.

P.S. As for the catfish noodler above, that takes some guts.

Oldbitcollector (Jeff) · 2012-04-26 18:41

@Ken,

Don't forget, you'll find the same Wii Interface on the GG Quickstart QuickPlayer board..

Grab yourself a Wii Classic Pro controller to go with your Nunchuck. Lots of controls there in exchange for two data lines.

There's a couple of objects here you'll want. One is Jon's Wii Controller object which handles original and clone Nunchucks perfectly. (It may even handle the wireless ones), the other is a MIGS object which supports those as well as classic/classic pro controllers.

Guts, maybe. Teeth, no. But if you think that takes guts, you should've seen what the hillbillies used before they learned to fish with their hands.

Sorry, man. Just hang the keyboard up next to the Andy Warhol and call it art.

I'd have to agree. Probably more brain power also.

Prophead100 · 2012-05-02 19:19

The episodes are jam packed and very good!! One suggestion is to double check the modulation between the two of you. One is substantially louder and it can be difficult to balance the volume to hear both comfortably..

Will do, our audio recording expertise is modest.
