i just got mine, 2mm pin pitch is making it impossible to use though

what is a 2mm pin pinch
does it come with instructions & all needed software
is it hard to install
what is needed to make it work

it is the spacing of the leads on the chip... they are spaced 2mm apart...

I would suggest looking at RoboRealm.com... it is free to download and can support everything you want. Essentially, you need a robot with a bluetooth connection to a PC running RoboRealm, and a wireless webcam.

also search for posts by airman00 on his Butler Robot for an alternative approach.
