Finally... Yay !

This morning I finally got this work end to end with a streaming 3D point cloud.  It was slow, but it worked !  The kinect is fast but the display is painfully slow.  If a robot was using the 3D cloud, it wouldn't need a display anyway and there is probably display acceleration software I could be using like JOGL, but its a start !

MRL currently uses create-labs libraries to interface with serial info - They did a great job of normalizing the Java and doing a full build of 6 types (windows 64/32, Linux 64/32 & Mac 64/32)

Unfortunately the current Jar is filtering out ttyACMx which is the identifier for serial devices for Arduino Uno & Mega..

A easy work-around is to make a symbolic link like this :

ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyUSB0 

you might need to chown or chmod the new link to give it the appropriate permissions

Hi guys! :)

I have a project that uses arduino and pan/tilt servos to track a desired color. With the use of a camera and myrobotlab, this project slowly come to life. I and with the help of GroG, are working on it to make it possible. However, it's not yet done and the project is still under progress. Here's some of the highlights of the project. Comments and Suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)

First, you need to download MRL:

"Finally"...  presenting "The Arduino Service - reloaded (again)" -  it's not ready for "prime time" , but it's starting to come together.  It would be great if I could get some testing & feedback..  with enough updates I'm hoping it might even be useful :)

If your interested,
here are the steps to get started in graphic detail..
