Hardware.. still no software
May 26th, 2007I have to admit, it is very hard to find the time to commit to developing some software. I have managed creating a C++ wrapper for the K8055 code, but beyond that I have not done much else. Today I spent some money on a new remote control car (which I… more »

Slug says Hello through Windows
May 20th, 2007First things first... I spent a fair bit of time trying to figure out where my program was being cached. Every time I tried to build it I would get a success message and I would never see any errors. I knew it was being cached somewhere but wasn't sur… more »

Successful cross compile of the test program!! WOOHOO!
May 15th, 2007I've added C++ code to the sample code found else where on this site. At first I was not able to compile it and kept getting an "undefined reference __gxx_personality_sj0"
After much Google searching and head scratching, I was able to find a referenc… more »
SELinux has no place on a dev box
May 15th, 2007Disable SELinux on your dev box!
I spent a huge chunk of the weekend trying to figure out how to configure Samba on my Fedora box. I was able to connect and read files, but was not able to write files back. It would create the files, but not allow… more »
My current setup
May 13th, 2007Most of this has been acquired over the last two years (I bought he RoboSapien around Christmas 2005). Some of it was purchased due to me thinking it was necessary. I'm still not certain I have all the right things that I will need. It's the experimen… more »

Where do I start?
May 12th, 2007I think that I have had the idea of building a robot for quite some time. Lately robotos seem to be everywhere and I'm sure that is related to the decreased costs associated with electronics.
I had heard about a year ago (maybe 2) that people were tu… more »
