Re: Imperial March

Thanks for the post. I obviously did not read the Manual well enough. I 'thought' that the second value after freq was duration, but in fact it is amplitude. You are right, and now I can hear better.
Thanks.

Re: Imperial March

Especially given that I have absolutely NO musical ability, I really appreciate your sketch. However, my old and much abused ears can barely hear the tones emitted by my Ringo. Is there a way to increase the volume of the output when using the "PlayChirp(NOTE…, …)" function? Given that the...

OSX10.10—JavaRunTimeEnvironment Problem

Re: OS X 10.10 Driver/Port Issues

Re: Predictable Movement??

cbw060 I may have missed something important - certainly not the first time. I have loaded and re-loaded the Ringo Preloaded Behaviors sketch several times; I have initiated with button #1. Ringo rotates a fixed right 90° and left 90° with the related arrow keys, as specified in the RotateAccurate(±...
