Still waiting on Arduino to release their official WiFi shield for my C3 project. So my mind began to wounder. And I started an Android app to help post articles to...]]> Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:05:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250863-mq3-a-quick-project/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250726-c3-the-bad-news-and-the-good-news/
The bad news is I've hit a bit of a wall in terms of long term stability with my existing WiFi module. I've addressed issue after issue gradually improving stability of the WiFi stack and my own code. But in the end I just can't get it to stay...]]> Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:09:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250726-c3-the-bad-news-and-the-good-news/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250640-c3-connection-durability-win/
It was supposed to make my WiFi chip reconnect to the AP more reliably, and so far it appears to be working! My original soak tests lost...]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:05:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250640-c3-connection-durability-win/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250591-c3-ntp-ftw-and-other-acronyms/ Oh well.

ANYWAY! Onward and upward!

As I mentioned in my last post, the...]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:18:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250547-c3-misery-and-progress/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250538-c3-prepping-for-serious-dev/ Sat, 27 Aug 2011 17:29:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250538-c3-prepping-for-serious-dev/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250537-c3-first-steps/ last post, I began some actual work on this project over the weekend.

What's some times not appreciable, is the amount of time it takes just to get started on something like this. Finding all my Arduino parts and...]]> Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:39:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250537-c3-first-steps/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250527-c3-the-cloud-connected-chronometer-begins/
The core idea originated from the fact that I'm a bit like Jekyll and Hyde. Except instead of a murderous monster living in my psyche, there is a sleep loving monster who...]]> Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:47:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250527-c3-the-cloud-connected-chronometer-begins/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250517-robo-pernicus-part-2/ Read Part 1 here




The next day at work it was all I could think about, and around lunch time, it hit me. They are in series! I'm dividing the voltage between the two servos!

Anyway I had been messing around with some Arduino stuff a while back, and got pretty far but never finished a project. Other things came up so I shelved it all. Then we got a kitten and I thought it would be fun to be able to play with the kitten while I...]]> Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:34:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/788/entry-2250299-robo-pernicus-part-1/
