and I reprogrammed the blink program to a different rate just to be sure that I had the environment figured out. So far so good it looks VERY promising.

For all of you new buyers! Oh!!!  Forgot to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I will be posting my tutorial on building this awesome peace of machinery here! All i need is a color coded chart because i cant make out the other one located here. Roboduino v1.15 - 1.16 schematic

And i am using the "Soder Wick" and for cleaning my soldering gun i am using "Oatey H-20 Water Soluable Tinning Flux" Hope that will be ok because if i cant i will wait for the other one.... HEHEHE!

I ask for a color coded one because i do not have a clue on how to solder this thing. i am a noob a this but i am a quick learner. although i no how to use it i cant really make it lol wow i feel dumb. and i am just going to ask how do i solder pins? that is a never done before in my book... well for me lol

[airman00]

@AdvsNoob
All you have to do is follow the parts list that was sent in the email

We're working on detailed instructions - but most of it is obvious where to solder.
Email me  - airman00 at gmail.com , I'll give you some instructions through email.

Is curiosinventor running slow because of the holidays, because I sent out my order for the roboduino about a week and half ago.  I emailed them and still nothing?  Does anybody know?

Here's Bumpy bot which my Daughter calls Ruby because of the red transparent plexi base.
Right now:
- Pololu Main Chassis
- Pololu Motor Controller
- Tamiya double gearbox and caster
- 1 bump switch
- Prop-1 used as controller - will be transplanted back into my Halloween stuff but good BasicStamp1 type module.

Warning Images are BIG:

Underside showing mechanicals and Pololu Motor controller: http://www.kentonavegraveyard.com/robots/Bumpy2.jpg

Going to switch in the RoboDuino and add:
- downfacing light sensors for line-following
- accelerometer (because I have an extra)
- Sharp IR sensor - probably forward facing
- More bump switches

Eventually
- zigbee module to communicate to base station and the Octobot that I'm also building ( with AXON)

OK CuriousInventor is back from the holidays break, should be fine now

@Everyone (  )
New demo video is up on the Roboduino page : http://www.curiousinventor.com/kits/roboduino
It shows how you can make a chaser robot using the PING sonar sensor. Also explains a bunch of the Roboduino's features.

[RoBoTicS]

They just shipped it to me hopefully it will be here soon and I like the new stuff on Curiousinventors.com
