Re: [Controllers] [sudo-discuss] Controllers Digest, Vol 2, Issue 2

by Romy Ilano

Hol, Oh, d'oh -- actually the lilypad arduino isn't broken. I poked around and the Arduino IDE wasn't set correctly to the lilypad--I had it set to a standard Arduino (uno). So that's why it wasn't able to upload my sketches. So if you are getting into the lilypad make sure the arduino ide on your computer has that settings set up! My circuit didn't work--I'm getting another alligator clip system before I start sewing. Wearable electronics are tricky because it's easy for the threads to … [View More]cross the wires, and sometimes it seems the connections don't go through. - on another site (becky stern's) I saw that using clear nailpolish to seal the end of the threads is a good idea. I started putting stuff up on gitorious and github - hope to eventually get more people to get into this!

List settings changed

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, Per a request from a subscriber, I have set reply-to address back to sender rather than the list address to avoid confusion. This is the way the sudo-discuss list functions. There had been some concerns over anonymity on that list, but if there are no objections, we will use the same setting here for the sake of knowing who's talking. the alternative would be for people to remember to make sure to sign off on each email they send. Also, was there a meetup last night? I have … [View More]

what voltage were you supplying to the board? from the pic you sent out it looked like a single 1.5v battery, whereas the minimum is 3.3V btu more commonly 5V. what error message did you get?

I think the cheap lilypad i got is bust--from the error messages and what i get on stackoverlfow it might be a ahrdware issue, so I didn't get to get anything working.

Tuesday - MicroController Hack Night // Lilypad

by discussion and collaboration group for electronic and mechanical control projects

Tomorrow is MicroController hack night. I'm working on Lillypad Arduino (wearable electronics) It's nice, I was able to get more done in the past 2 days than I have in the past few weeks... and with a full-time job too! It's weird. I guess I was just very good at avoiding listening to people pitch stuff. It's does wonders for productivity. I'm not sure if I can be very helpful tomorrow, as I am in a making mood! I am not going to be so interested in hearing about people's kickstarters but … [View More]

DIY AVR microcontroller board

by discussion and collaboration group for electronic and mechanical control projects

Hi Folks, Didn't seem to get any newbies last night - people pretty much came with their supplies and got right to work, which is awesome in terms of making progress on projects, but doesn't really make the tent any bigger. So here are a few links to references and instructions for making an board from components, with a few variations: This one is the most important! Know the pinouts of your chips and brainstorm on how all your components will be physically arranged: http://softsolder.… [View More]
