Re: individual Ringo idendification ?
Hello didier, Sorry it took a while to get back to you. You can certainly use the EEPROM. The only suggestion is that you avoid the address 1020 as that's a designated holding spot for the gyro calibration if you use it. Whenever you upload code to Ringo, it erases the normal flash memory and over-w...

Re: OSX10.10—JavaRunTimeEnvironment Problem
jedward, Thanks for the notes on this. This is good to know. I have an old 1st generation MacBook, and I have the same problem on that. I don't use it much for anything as it's old enough I can't even put the most recent OS X on it (WHY would Apple do this?!?!!?). Anyway, when I click Arduino from t...

Re: Ringo Guide
I would like to add more to the guide eventually. For now it's got most of the important information. Is there anything specific you'd like to see added to it?

Re: Predictable Movement??
Hey cbw, A quick note on the predictable movement, is that it seems to have a significant effect if Ringo rocks from one pad to the other when starting movement, as that rotation actually adds a significant component to the inertia of the accellerometer. You may try pressing the motors further up in...

Re: Serial port not showing up.
Hey Mike. I'm pretty sure we spoke through email and you've been taken care of on the programmer, if not, send me another message through the Contact Us form on the web page and we'll get you taken care of right away.
Thanks!

Re: SwitchSerialToMotors hanging
That sounds strange. Haven't encountered that one. Is it possible your computer is sending serial into the robot when this happens? Just making a random guess. The only serial issue we've had is when trying to debug and forgetting to call SwitchMotorsToSerial() first. I believe the Motors() function...

Re: motor design
Hey guys. Sorry I've been away for a while. One thing to check is the height of the motors in the clips. If they press too far up, it'll allow more weight to be supported by the felt pads which reduces traction. You want enough room that the robot rocks front and back a bit. You can also make sure t...

Re: Predictable Movement??
cbw, I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to test your code yet but I hope to get to that soon. I'll try to cover a few of your questions quick.... The version 5, behaviour button 7 (move in square) does work as expected. the difference between this code and mine is that yours is 1) uses the "pause...

Re: OS X 10.10 Driver/Port Issues
darrshar, So if I understand correctly, version 1.0.5 compiles and loads correctly? But 1.6.5 has the problems you listed? Of that data output, I see a couple items. Everything else looks as I'd expect. avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/cu.usbserial-DA01H8E1": Resource busy This...

Re: Serial port driver error
Itay, When you downloaded the FTDI driver and ran the installation of that driver - is that the part that failed? If you got an "admin" error or something to that effect, try to right click the install .exe and in the menu that pops up, click "run as admin" or something like that...
