Christmas in September...

Posted 09-21-2009 at 11:18 PM by mannyr7
I ordered a Tamiya track and wheel kit, double motor gearbox and 1/2" plastic ball caster late Friday night. Also a Boarduino and USB to TTL cable Saturday morning from Adafruit Industries. I went to see "Gamer" after work today;( sucked big-time, don't bother). Anyway, just got home and EVERYTHING arrived already! Kudos to Adafruit, Pololu, and the US Postal Service!!!

    Got it assembled in about 2 hrs. Only one boo-boo. Put a resistor in the wrong spot! I installed the FTDI USB drivers, installed Arduino IDE, and uploaded the Blink sketch. Lo and behold, it works! "HELLO WORLD!"



    This is going to open up a world of possibilities for me. Oh where to begin? I have some ideas for autonomous rovers, wii nunchuck controls, sensor arrays, all sorts of good stuff!
