[Klug-general] Digibury next session

[Antonio Mendoza Mendoza]

Hi Kevin
It was really nice meeting you too.
I found you have done a great job with the robot, congratulations.... next a webcam attached maybe? 
I honestly believe you should think about other type of batteries, kind of lipo rechargable ones.
About the fritzing, I downloaded it yesterday, and hope giving it a go soon... (life permitting, as right now I have Alin as squatter in my computers/electronics "den" :)).
Best regards.
Antonio

Good to meet you last night.

For anyone not there and interested in Ardunio a good project that I
    picked up on a protoyping system at http://fritzing.org/ very nice and not just for Ardunio, it provides a nice breadboard - schematic - pcb designer.

                all of decision making away from the Ardunio and instead
                use a Palm device which has more memory and a faster
                processor. The Ardunio will just be motor control and
                sensor reporting. Should be easy to do in practice as
                both devices have serial IO. The problem I have to get
                around is that the prc-gcc compiler project has not been
                active since 2003 so getting an old gcc compiler source
                and patched for prc is going to get messy. Not
                impossible. I would prefer native C on the Palm just for
                the speed. As a temp solution just to prove the comms
                idea works I am looking for a quicker solution in a JVM
                on the Palm. OK its going to slow things right down, but
                if its still faster than before (my multitasking code on
                the Ardunio is not able to slice quick enough) then its
                still worth while.

>>Hi all. Last night I popped along to Digibury
                        event in Canterbury. Most interesting, but the
                        point of the post being open source like, is
                        next meeting will be on the subject of Arduino.
                        I plan to take my little robot along. :-)
