After shouting with Mathew in the shoutbox he mentioned swerve drives which led me to this site.

Theoretically I have all the parts, and now I've promised Alessandruino that I would spend at least 1 hour a day putting it together...

Ok, here we go - I'll be looking at the following video series in order to guide me - 

 

 

 

Tracking Service

javadoc

Tracking Service is used to find and track objects.  This service typically runs as a closed loop with feedback.  

 

Second MRL tutorial - tracking service with wiring diagram

Services: 

A tutorial that explain how to use tracking service in MRL...

Python Minimal script

[[Tracking.minimal.py]]

Python FULL AND SAFE script
[[Tracking.manual.py]]

Wiring diagram

Raver's Mendel 90

Raver decided to break the shoutbox, but in the process was some good 3D Printer-Guru dialog worth preserving for noobies (or pre-noobies) like me :D

 

 

Third MRL tutorial -> take a photo (webcam) and send it by email using VOICE CONTROL (speech recognition and Text-to-speech)

Services: 

 

 

This tutorial shows how to take a photo (webcam) and send it by email using VOICE CONTROL...

WARN : There are 3 version of the python script

1) simple one - only take a photo using voice

2) full version - it requires a gmail address-take a photo + send it by email (SEE THE TUTORIAL)

3)full version ITA - for CIX, italian users, or who wants to listen the computer talking in italian :D

Good vision :D

 

Fun with MRL Arduino Oscope

Here is a Bare Bones Arduino clone - with nothing attached to the Analog pins. The signal here on a Bare Bones board is more "clean" than my old arduino duemilanove.

Here I'm just reading another pin at the same time ... you wouldn't expect that to change the voltage level BUT IT DOES  !!!!

We ran the our servos under the basic arduino program and the servos worked without fail, however when we run the MRL software, inmoov specifically, we do not receive any power to our servos. we recently updated the software and no problems arose immediately.

Please get back to us with any info you may have as we are running very low on work time.

Thanks in advance.
