| | | For all the robot guys: (URL) HAVE to watch the demo videos. Note especially the "teach" and "haptic" videos. I can't believe the level of control they are getting without encoders. Its incredible. I'm not sure I want a gameboy on my robots, but the (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

The whole system is not terribly cheap. You need the "Xport" which hooks up to the gameboy, and the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

A PC with machine vision and a pair of HDTV CCD cameras? (...) Well, the CPU/display/memory part of it (...) (20 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I bought it in 2001, used it for about an hour, and decided it was very much a "Bad buy" (as I'm terrible at video games). I put it carefully back in the box, so it's (...)

It's not for the faint of heart in terms of complexity, but we ARE talking about a really deeply embedded system here. :-) I'm not so much (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Anyone know how it would compare, and whether the 4095 uses back-EMF or internal (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

The reason they don't work is that whoever coded up the PID loop to control the motors obviously had no idea what he/she was doing. I have not yet taken (...)
