Re: Drive by Remote- expanded

Hello John, I think this would be possible, and I'm really glad to see someone starting to grow the existing code. I hope to see more of this. ;) Study the existing drive with remote sketch. A few random thoughts... While the button is pressed, the remote sends the command over and over. This can te...

Re: Predictable Movement??

cbw, That does sound strange. Considering all the possible issues.... 1) If there was a problem with the accelerometer or gyro going off line, the program would hang when it tried to query the sensor, so that tells me the sensors are running and giving data in the expected format. Whether that's acc...

Re: programming problems

Hello Kelly, Thanks for the update on this. I wonder if it's a permissions issue in the file system? It looks like the compiler is looking for something it can't see. I'm sorry I don't know the inner workings of the IDE to compiler toolchain. Looks like it's trying to access a temporary file created...

Re: Serial port not showing up.

Hello positronic,

Sorry I missed your post - was just going back through the threads and saw I missed this. I've sent you email. We'll get you running right away. Sorry for the hassle. I think we're finally through the bad programmers though.

Thanks,
-Kevin

Re: Unable to set some LEDs

Hello Spouwny,

Sent you an email with some suggestions. Each LED relays information for the next one in line, daisy chain style. I wonder if there is a problem with the first LED in the line. Try my suggestions and we'll go from there.

Thanks,
-Kevin

Re: programming problems

Kelly, That's strange- I haven't seen that error before. Does this happen when you click the "verify" button (the check mark in the upper left of the Arduino window)? A ask because Verify only compiles it. "Upload" compiles then tries to load. If it's not compiling, try downloadi...

Re: error a function-definition is not allowed here bevore "{" token

but how does that affect other tabs? Most compilers aren't very good at telling you exactly where the problem is. It's likely that you called a function that is actually found on one of the tabs around the place the missing } was. Because that's the last thing the compiler looked at, that's were it...

Re: Programmer adapter and driver. Help!

Albin, I noticed your email from this afternoon that you hadn't received a response. I responded yesterday and again today - but I wanted to post here also in case the emails aren't showing on your end. Here's the response from today... Let's try a few things. You may still be okay. 1) Unplug the US...

Re: Arduino Programmer

This is really strange. That setting shouldn't matter. I just tried uploading with each of the items in "Programmer" selected and all worked. That was Arduino 1.6.5 on Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. Interesting anyway. If anyone else experiences this, please post up. I'd be curious if some version...
