I get that too with my home buill cable (with WizardStans ext connector). And with tv out, an usb hub and some controllers attached, the battery drains faster. Not funny...

$80 is not expensive, but for this projects it it. Total of parts up till now is not nearly that amount.

Errrm, you guys know i never intended, nor plan to build a camera into the car, right? After the third mention i briefly investigated, but soon found out that it's too expensive whatever method i use. I mean, would be cool, but with the maximum bluetooth range it's not like it's going to be...

Ok, first tests: https://www.youtube.com/embed/tkCiK_FNcKA?feature=oembed

Awesome, i seem to have a working serial port! Going to hook up to the car board now to see if it works. Thanks a lot for the clear instructions!

Ok Pairing done. Now if i had any idea how to send or receive characters, no idea how it's connected in linux. I'm off googling, but if anyone has ideas, let me know

ah, indeed i have to select the pin options before selecting the module. Pretty awkward, but it seems to do the job. Thanks!

aaaaah thanks :)

Ah ok, but, uhmm Yars Revenge??? whats that? (beside an old atari game)

Yeah about that bug, is someone working on it? If not, would it not be wise to change to a different file manager for the official image?

Hello, I'm trying to connect the Pandora to a serial bluetooth module. The Pandora can see the the module, i then select PIN option 1234 (then can only click close, no ok) and when i select next, it says i have to enter a certain number on the module (which is ofcourse not possible). Am i...

Ok, i made a breakoutboard for the module (tiiiiiny connection points, ugh) and i'm having trouble pairing it with the Pandora. It detects the module just fine, but when i try to connect to it with pin login '1234' it says i have to enter a pin on the module. When i try and connect from my...

Well, cursing apparently helps, it arrived this afternoon :) I did get one of those cheap bluetooth serial devices, but bought on dealextreme. I will post here if i have anything working. And controlling the car over bluetooth serial is one thing, attaching a camera and sending video back...

Still waiting for that frikkin Bluetooth module, been over a month now. Really want to go wireless...

I think you are both right. The stiffness of the hinge just varies with every Pandora. My replacement actually had a looser hinge than the first one i received. But it's still working fine for me.

Would have loved to meet some of my fellow Pandorians (@Poke: would have been nice to finally talk in person :) ) but alas. I did some quick calculations, with travel and accommodations, it's just too expensive atm. Booo.

Some discussion has been going on about this, and the general thought was: Technically possible, but not easy. Let me see if i can find the thread Edit: Hmm, i'm certain there was a thread much like this not that long ago. Can't find it though...

Some nice coverage of the project, including link to the official Pandora site in the first line here: http://www.43oh.com/...andora-console/ @Panik: sorry, totally missed that post. And i used the method you advised against for now, just echo commands :P But im experimenting with the...

I can help if you have questions, sure. I'm not going to write the software though, sorry, way too busy already. P.s. The pandoracar software might me a good starting point for you though. It basically has a command sent over usb serial for every action button pressed. No 2 way comms yet...

Hmm, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOvoO6eQDms, would personally choose a different brand though ;)
