Hello all! In the recent Kickstarter updates, we've been discussing various options for running the machine vision system on Spirit. I built the prototype using SimpleCV, which works, but it's certainly not ideal. Much better solutions exist but as I'm not much of a software guy, I'm hoping for some...

Hello ddobrien, What version Arduino IDE are you running? Sometimes Arduino updates the IDE and things unexpectedly break. That's never really happened with the code for our units but I'd be curious to rule that out. I'll follow up in email and maybe we can exchange some screen shots. Strange issue....

Hello ddobrien, Sorry for the delay getting back to you. We got overwhelmed going into Christmas. It looks like it can't see the WinkHardware.ino file. Inside the Arduino IDE, do you see a set of tabs across the top? One should be named WinkHardware, and WinkHardware.h, and a couple more. If not, th...

Hello Sam, Arduino uses A4 and A5 for I2C, and we use these analog pins to connect to the pair of sliders on the expansion board. I think it's likely I2C will still work if you set the sliders just right. I'm sure you're familiar, but I2C requires a weak pull-up on each line. I don't have the schema...

Hello Andrew, I think we followed up via email. It sounds like you had a rather extreme case of this, but some listing is to be expected as the drive with remote does not use the gyroscope for code simplicity. If others are experiencing this, try using the navigation functions for straight driving. ...

Hello Marley, Sorry so long in responding to you. That does sound like a problem. Do you by chance have a volt meter? We could do a quick check to see if there is a problem with the programmer adapter or if it's a problem on the robot. If possible, please send me a quick note through our Contact for...

Hey Sam. Thanks for sharing this. Great work. It's been a while since I had a close look at the IR handler we provide but I think there is a flag set there as well. Something like an "ir in progress" flag. I'm curious how much code space is required for the IR library you used? When we sta...

Hello Dev, It sounds like you may have the function void setup() in your code more than one time. Scroll over the top half or so of your code and see if maybe this function exists more than once. Each function can only be declared one time (you can call it as many times as you like, but you can only...

Hello Scott, So sorry to have missed your email earlier - was going back over some things and just saw this was never responded to. Were you able to get running? It sounds like you covered the bases. Let me know and we'll get it worked out. So sorry if you've been unable to use the robot all this ti...
