Pages

I was checking SFE today during CAD class, and I noticed on one of the old news pages I had missed that there was some new products. Well, I checked it out. And found this:

Yeah. Our sensor mount (and that gripper looks familiar too) is right there on the homepage. Congratulations to all you guys who helped design it, and thanks to everyone at DAGU as well. Keep 'em coming, guys!

Okay, so I have finally finished my BFB Rapman. Never mind that it took 6 months longer then expected, or that I had to shell out more then 700 dollars that a skilled person would not. Pass over the fact that my blood, sweat, tears, and more blood went into this thing. It works, and I am happy. But, I'm encountering a huge warping problem due to the acrylic surface that the rapid prototyping machine is building upon.

Here's the deal. I have this Camera. I have it attached to a BS2 and running this code:

CamSync         VAR     Byte
ROOT:
    SEROUT 2, 9600, ["AA01h"]
    SERIN 3, 9600, [CamSync]
    PAUSE 1000
    DEBUG ? Camsync

 GOTO ROOT

And thedebug terminal shows this:

Quite a while ago, Fritsl suggested another LMR Skype weekend. Either that already happened, and a spammer brought the forum up a few months ago, or it lost interest.

Anyone feel like having a Skype weekend anytime soon? I have a microphone now, so I can finally participate!

Edit: Learned what I needed to from previous question, didn't wanna create a new forum for every Question I had (we'd be at node 20,000 in no time).

Ok, here's the deal. Today, I got my fantastically awesome order from sparkfun. It included:

The Maxibotics XL-EZ4 Rangefinder

The JPEG Compression Camera

I managed to soder some wires to three pins of the EZ4 without burning the house down. I got GND, +V, and pin 2 (Digital signal)

Hi LMR. I have already made a robot, as you may know, but all I did (on the physical/electrical side of things) was plug a few cables into the pre-made servo ports on the Board of Education, as my copy of Electronics for Dummies told me to do. I read the entire thing, but they explained a few things in a way I didn't understand. Like the names for stuff, and what each means. Until now, I thought voltage was a measure of battery capacity. I FAIL, I know. I've sorted it out, so now I know about amps and volts, but I have a couple technical questions regarding electricity.
