Let me stop you there. Don't have an arduino nor any idea how they work. So for now: No Ever? Probably not But: Reading your post, you seem know quite a lot about technology. Why not get an Arduino, and start learning to code? Really, it's not THAT hard...

err what? i'm no expert :huh: really, most people here could do this. It only takes some motivation to get started probably Only bought my first soldering iron and started experimenting with microcontrollers 3 months ago... (and at 32 i'm not old, but no youngster either) Did some basic...

Well turns out Bluetooth does not have to be expensive after all. A guy from the MSP430 forum pointed me to This Device Don't know about quality yet, but for 5 euro i'm willing to take a gamble. If anyone is interested i will post my findings here once it arrives and i get it to work (or...

Maybe something for the future, i'm not stopping after this build. But no way i'm sticking my pandora to a (relatively) fast moving porsche :P

Thanks! And i've been seriously thinking about a camera. In the current setup that would not be too hard (IF i could get a webcam to work on pandora, no idea if that works). I could move an usb hub into the car itself and connect a webcam in there. Problem is that i want to go wireless, and i...

Planned for may next year. Next question? ;) Yeah thought i remembered something like that. Been years since i touched nub code though (yeah, really that long, late 2008) First need to clean out some last bugs in the car and pandora software, then i'll look into adding nub drive/steering...

Thanks, and no idea :P If it's capable of usb serial out, i guess porting it would be easy. You would still need a car though ;)

Hiya, I've been working on a MSP430 and Pandora Controlled Car: More detailed overview: For more information, video's, schematics, code and parts overview, go to: www.markoez.com Cheers!

Thanks for the nub tips! But i think can get them to work, Penjin even has functionality for them i believe. It's just that with 2 hand soldered modules, 2 pre built modules (one hacked) and 2 different software projects (pandora and MSP car software) i really kept things quite basic for the...

Thanks! Well, all steering, speed and blinkymode can also be selected by d-pad and action buttons. About the nubs: Not really familiar with coding for them, and also, steering is not done by a servo but with another dc motor and a spring to center. So it's Left-Center-right anyway, no...

Hiya, I've been working on a Pandora Controlled Car: https://www.youtube.com/embed/hA2C2AJlzQU?feature=oembed For more information, video's, schematics, code and parts overview, go to: www.markoez.com or the project page in the dev section of this forum...

Hi everyone! i entered a Project of the month contest on www.43oh.com, hence the silence lately. But this is what i've been working on: My Contest Entry: A Porsche Model Car with an MSP430G2252, movement, speed and (just for fun) shiftregister LEDs controlled over usb Serial by a Pandora...

I tried with and without both cards, with and without the serial module connected, left the battery out. No resolution. Did a reflash now (was a hotfix and a half behind anyway), it was locked very long at one point on first startup ( 3 or 4 mins or something don't know if that's normal), but...

did nothing, just had my test setup connected on usb serial when things went bad, and rebooted. but since it does go into sleepmode when i don't touch it (blinkycursor disappears) i suspect it's just sending and receiving out/input elsewhere. It also stops exactly at the point you normally...

Hiya, I was testing my Pandora/MSP430 project, it was connected on startup of the pandora, and now suddenly the pandora boots, loading bar and all, but then it just switches to a blinking cursor and does not respond to anything but a hard reset (Pandora Button-Off switch.) My thought: Might...

Oooooh yeah, i completely forgot about that one! Don't remember much, but do remember getting it on a (i believe) Atari ST Format Demo Disk and thinking it was awesome. Have to try... now... Thanks!

from: http://serverfault.c...-keyboard-mouse Edit: i looked at the SVN, and it's Python, not my territory... Also, p.s. A quick recompile will not be enough anyway. pandora drivers or kernel modules or something like that will need to be built (not a linux expert as you can tell). But i...

it might be my screen or the browser or whatever, but somehow the proportions of the cube (tube size versus cube size) just seem sliiiightly off. And just talking about a fraction, because i can't even specify what is wrong, but something is very slightly off (again, could just be my screen or...

Awesome post, and grats on receiving your pandora!!! i was not even aware you did not receive yours yet (or forgot? :S ) Cheers!

Hoped someone else would have posted this, feels a bit wrong posting something i helped create, but really, PandoraPanic is quite fun for a couple of minutes :) Edit: Hmm, although "Panic" might be a bit contrary to your topic title "Relaxed, Chill"
