Moving On…

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

As said yesterday- I was playing with my Arduino today!

However, that really only began after supper. I went to buy some tiny wire jumpers and a big bread board (I like big boards and I can not lie) … and a squishy button. Plus, I saw they had vibrating motors, so I bought one! I’m going to implement it into this pink snowman as a bristlebot. So- imagine this – a pink snowman that can bob its head forwards and backwards, move side to side, and navigate around by means of a bristlebot

Sounds fun to me! The only thing I don’t get is how I will connect it all together…

Here are some technology as art pictures of what I did today…

This morning, as I now remember it, I wanted to make stuff via the terminal. I hit a roadblock when my gcc compiler didn’t work! I’ll have to figure out that one later – I think I need to install it again.

Another interesting thing that happened today was somehow I glitched one of Ty.com’s Beanie Baby 2.0 games- it gave me SO much free stuff. It was amazing! My big book of Beanies is looking pretty fab!

Tomorrow I’ll buy the squishy parts for the pink snowman as the hobby shop was closed, even though it was only 11 minutes after 6:00. Who would leave their store exactly when it is closed? Wouldn’t you have to take inventory, clear the till?! Gwaaaah! And who closes at 6:00 anyway…

Arrrg- I really want some BOOKS about AI & NLP! All I was hoping for was just 1 bursary @ MRSTF to buy books…
