Bot Bench I'd Rather Be Building Robots
The ROBOTC 3.x Driver Suite is in maintenance mode right now and I’ve decided to put it all on Git. I will no longer create releases like I did before, rather, I will simply push to the repository as bugs are fixed. There will be no more feature additions to this suite either. I am working on a complete overhaul of the suite in parallel and will be making that available at a later stage.
You don’t need to know how to use Git to able to use this Driver Suite. You can download the entire repository by simply clicking the “Download as Zip” button:
You can keep up to date with this RSS feed: https://github.com/botbench/rdpartyrobotcdr/commits/master.atom. Add it to your Feedly or your phone’s News reader to stay up to date.
If you see changes that you find important enough, you can simply redownload the latest zip file from the Git page, as shown above.
If you’re keen to clone the repo, then by all means do. I’ve just switched from using SmartHG/Git to SouceTree. SourceTree has a much nicer interface, I find. You can find out how to use SourceTree right here: [LINK].
Let me know if you have questions about this.
[…] The trouble with me having opened it, is that I have IR light bleeding in between the lid and the body. Normally these are shipped with the lid firmly and securely glued to the body but because I asked for mine to be removable, they only used a tiny bit of glue. If I fix it properly, I won’t be able to show off its guts to anyone again. It’s a bit of a toss-up! Testing the sensor proved to be quite a challenge because of the light bleeding in. I solved it by covering the EmitIR with some electrical tape, thereby reducing its output by a couple of order of magnitude. After that, the sensor worked very nicely and I was able to write a driver and two test programs for it. You can find them in the Github repository: [LINK]. More info on how to fetch the files from there, check out my article here: [LINK]. […]
Any progress on the Arduino 4.x release?
None that I am aware of, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything 🙂
