ok, back again. Been testing a very cheap collision detection system, using only an IR Led and a Photodiode. I started with some reading on this site to get some general info first: http://www.societyofrobots.com/sensors.shtml (good site anyway,lots of explanations and tutorials on robotics...

Hey!!! 30-38 is not old, the next category is old... (sorry for the 39+...) (kidding ofc ; )

got one, tribal on my shoulder. Can hardly see it myself, even in the mirror. But that is probably why i still like it after 13 years :)

pre-ordered 30 minutes after pre-orders started, been playing with one for about a year now (minus 2 months waiting for a replacement of my broken one, at that time no pandora's were sent out)

Ghehe, i like this topic, so wanted add my own desk as well. Cramped, messy and dirty.

conspiracies i tell you, CONSPIRACIES!!!!!! really dunno if you are serious, so serious reply just in case: If any competitors were that interested, could they not just order a premium?

Well i don't give ANYONE acces to any of my accounts. But thanks for reminding me, none of my ports or even Panjoust were uploaded to the repo yet :o oops... ;) uploading as i type

phew, i was expecting another flamefest. Glad there are still reasonable people here :D and welcome to the boards ihn555 :) Cheers!

Hmm, i'm having an issue where the image/colors gets slightly distorted when i plug in the power. More people having this problem or is it just my crappy soldering?

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGG, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Thats true though. But the team will get lynched if they send out pandora's for destroyal before all the pre-orders are shipped. Now if the community gets together, donates enough, and buys a pandora off ebay to get destroyed, that would be different...

One more, late evening, video. Soldered connectors to the car and the testboard, showing in the first part. I used audio cables since i have them in all kinds of combinations, so easy extending/splitting/whatever. If i have more channels, i have white and yellow ready as well. Big plus is, i...

Getting more ready for the Pandora Interface, i thought this one could use a small introduction: Updated from last video, i attached a wire for steering left on the rc car (i fried steering right..) combined the code from the last video with the code from the serial leds, and behold: serial...

Well i thought i'd go ahead with testing and creating video's till i finally aquire a usb to serial cable, or get some confirmation on the serial side of the ext connector. MarkoeZ MSP430 Launchpad Video's Part 10: https://www.youtube.com/embed/8VnGVehimKA?feature=oembed

Lol, well i THINK mine are that solid as well, but after all the effort, im gonna troutslap the one that's going to try :P Edit: And TV out video update while i'm at it. Much improved graphics as i said, even without the right capacitor. Screen blinking is only the framerate difference of...

Yup, GFrancis explained it nicely in the post above. (err, last one on the page before it seems, i'll make a quote) At first i could not get anything soldered to the connector, or when i did, connecting 1 or 2 pins along with the one i intended to solder. I won't repeat them, but some bad, bad...

new vid in the series, no pandora yet, but useful tool: https://www.youtube.com/embed/MetNA0hgz4E?feature=oembed

Hmm, have to give it some thought. Could switch to 1.8v, but that could also mean more conversion to do later on. But i think i'll order that cable you mentioned anyway. Looks like a nice tool for testing, and will be useful for other projects as well. Now, some clarification on the ttyS1...

Ah good. The popcorn is not ready yet, so...

huh, it started already?

wow, that looks just awesome... Looking forward to play(test?)ing it ;) Cheers!
