Thanks for explaining.
Since this is "Part 1", then there will be Part 2 right? Which to read Part 2 too.
You supply power to the robot using four motorcycle batteries through M2 power suply is it? Then the robot is going to be very heavy?
Thanks.

Hi,

its pretty simple with the M2 power supply. You feed it 12V from the battery and route the motherboard's power on connector to a push switch. Then push the switch like a normal PC.

Hope this helps

Hello...
I would like to know more on how you power up the motherboard.
Can you tell me more?
Thanks.

Hi David,

nice cable and great price too until shipping to my remote european hill is factored in, alas.

I'm currently trying to tie up several paralel projects: devantech drivers update for 1.5 with pid, dead reckoning, multi-sonar pan etc. serializer generic i2c (so that all the devantech drivers work with the serializer), grid slam service (waiting for real data tests) etc. , but two 'real' bits of work have come in, so they may have to sit on the shelf for a while. I hate releasing half finished code, but then again code is always unfinished....

Chris,Nice work, I can't wait to see where the pro...

Chris,

Nice work, I can't wait to see where the project goes from here. To help it along, ad to save you the soldering on your short USB cables, I wanted to pass on this little find...

Who new 1 foot USB cables would be so useful.

Keep it up and keep posting your results!

Thanks!

I tried to figure MSRS out about a year or so ago (had a release that Msoft hooked us up with before the official release) but I didn't have a lot of time to devote to it, and found that it required a great deal of time to learn. From what I understand about it, it sounds like it has an great deal of potential though. I'd love to learn more about it, it's just time that prevents me to do so...

I haven't talked to too many people that have had the opportunity to use MSRS since after the official release so, given your experience, I definitely was curious on your thoughts.

BTW, I checked out quite a few of your other posts, great job! I've already added it to MyYahoo page and told a few colleagues of mine about it. It's great to see people who not only understand the benefits behind true PC based robotics, but also know how to apply it:)

Hi Alex,

thoughts on MSRS... It can be used to do good things, but is much too hard for novice programmers. Until there is a really good ecosystem of services that can be dragged into action or coordinated by lovely GUIs, then it will miss out on a larger audience.

At its core it has enough powerful features and enough rigour for it to work well as a foundation, especially as multi-processor and network inteligence start to be tapped into. We 'just' need another million programmers devoting their lives to it :)

Way cool Chris! What are your thoughts on MSRS?
