msPROBOT PCB works!

It really does work! The 3.3V is a little flaky but it functions fine with a load on it. Chassis parts should be here today.

msPROBOT PCBs are Shipped!

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Parker

I just received notification that the msPROBOT PCBs shipped from China. They will arrive on Monday. I have the motor controller pretty much coded out. I will post it later today.

Website Updated and More Open Source!

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Parker

Today I updated all the parent links at the top menu and adjusted some of the links around.

I also open sourced my old Atari Video mods which you can download off this page.

If you check out the PCB projects you will find that each one now has a change log file associated with it. This will help document what changes between each version of the boards.

Super Boost V2.0 In The Mists?

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Parker

This is an interesting chip from TI TPS2543. It will allow i-devices to charge at up to 2.1A and supports USB3.0 spec of up to 900mA. Pretty niffty! Look for this chip to be added to the design. A member from Dangerous Prototypes pointed it out.

msPROBOT Ver 1.0 Released!

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Parker

After a whole weekend working on the PCB I finally finished Ver 1.0 of the msPROBOT. The robot is completely open source. So far just the PCB is designed. I will be adding the bracket files and then full assembly instructions. If all goes to plan the msPROBOT will make an appearance at Maker Faire next month.

I will launch the project page in a couple hours. Need a short break first though.
