Re: problem uploading Arduino Sketch
Hmmm... have you tried using avrdude directly and trying to read what the board type is? It should be an ATMega328p ... so the signature coming back should be 0x1E 95 0F, I think... Let me look...

Re: problem uploading Arduino Sketch
You're using the Arduino IDE, correct?

Re: Quick Update - Working on Pi Code Today!!
For any of you who want to de-mystify Git, there is a great visualization of the different "spaces" Git manages, and the commands that are used to go between them here: http://ndpsoftware.com/git-cheatsheet.html My group at work finds this very useful to jog memories of what to do in certa...

Re: Quick Update - Working on Pi Code Today!!
I can help with that, too, Kevin. I use Git daily at work, and for managing my own little side projects. Just say the word.

Re: Quick Update - Working on Pi Code Today!!
Kevin! Welcome back! So glad you had a chance to get a "break." Let us know how we can help... with a kit as complex as this, you've got folks on this forum with varying skills in all kinds of areas. Do you have a GitHub repo with the code somewhere? I have my own hackings in a repo here: ...

Re: Tilt servo unresponsive when power low?
One missing piece that I needed to do: I needed to enable the linux driver for SPI on my PI... this is in the file: /etc/modules And for my SpiritRover Pi, it looks like: i2c-dev i2c-bcm2708 spi-bcm2708 When I did that, I get /dev/spi* devices to show up... pi@spirit_rover:~ $ ls /dev/spi* /dev/spid...

Re: Tilt servo unresponsive when power low?
Or... if we ever could get the pin-out for the SPI connection to the RasPI... I'm about to "brute force it" and try all combinations of GPIO pins until I see avrdude happy talking to an M328P... then we can direct serial output to that and we could fire up a serial monitor on the PI...

Re: Tilt servo unresponsive when power low?
I can't wait to get access to the power monitoring features so we can better debug power issues... We should write firmware that uses the neoPixel on the main board to color status what the power state is. Green = good Yellow = moderate Red = Low Blinking red = PLUG ME IN!!! Having a way of detectin...

Large off-center points with pan-tilt snagging cables
Something I've noticed, too, the cable management coming off the pan/tilt head gets the ribbon connector from the camera snagged on neighboring connectors in large off-center points. I'm currently trying to re-arrange my cables so they don't snag because I don't want to have to replace the ribbon ca...
