Ahoy !   

I'm going to implement some form of Encoders for the RoboClaw service and I'd like to align with previous work and future plans.

Doing a quick google https://www.google.com/search?q=myrobotlab+encoder

Gael reported a problem with Manticore release.
When using a fingerstarter & natural reader speech service, it would "double speak"

I looked into the details and found WebkitSpeechReader was publishText was "calling" recognized.

I do not think this is desired.

WebkitSpeechReader is a text publisher and a recognizer.  So I would expect both of these events fired when it recognizes something.  But these are independent events and should NOT be calling one another.

Awesome links from shoutbox conversation ...
(Thanks kwatters & Gareth !)

We all want Yolo - best place for it probably is in OpenCV service as a filter .. 
This means it needs to be supported in JavaCV

Exciting times !

Had to post this because ... well, frankly .. its just plain awesome

Very great walking bot

2 hour drive south for me ...  I likey them !  Sexy walk ;)

Ahoy!  - I have a neopixel 300 led strand - I intend to pimp out my Wife's Honda Odyssey as a practical joke..  So this is for a "good cause" ...

I got it working on an Uno, but on the Esp8226 I got "no love" ..

I'm using the Adafruit library, and strandtest sketch "works" on an Uno.

One interesting thing I noticed is when "strandtest" is running - pixels change 3 at a time..
