Which to read Part 2 too.<BR/>You supply power to the robot using four motorcycle batteries through M2 power suply is it?

Then push the switch like a normal PC.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helpsChris Kilnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448321018799182054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228893011814656160.post-7097265170989665222008-08-11T04:08:00.000+01:002008-08-11T04:08:00.000+01:00Hello...I would like to know more on how you power...Hello...<BR/>I would like to know more on how you power up the motherboard.<BR/>Can you tell me more?<BR/>Thanks.J-Phones sharing bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378472701061515072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228893011814656160.post-65896115087612117552007-06-05T20:52:00.000+00:002007-06-05T20:52:00.000+00:00Hi David,nice cable and great price too until ship...Hi David,<BR/><BR/>nice cable and great price too until shipping to my remote european hill is factored in, alas.<BR/><BR/>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 Kilnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448321018799182054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228893011814656160.post-9967155200931093882007-06-05T20:30:00.000+00:002007-06-05T20:30:00.000+00:00Chris,Nice work, I can't wait to see where the pro...Chris,<BR/><BR/>Nice work, I can't wait to see where the project goes from here.

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...<BR/><BR/>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. <BR/><BR/>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:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228893011814656160.post-70695640614280514492007-05-08T15:07:00.000+00:002007-05-08T15:07:00.000+00:00Hi Alex,thoughts on MSRS...

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.<BR/><BR/>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 :)Chris Kilnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448321018799182054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228893011814656160.post-50874272289021971022007-05-08T14:51:00.000+00:002007-05-08T14:51:00.000+00:00Way cool Chris!
