Title: Hardware Project : Robot Control Card Post by: georges on July 01, 2007, 02:54:44 PM Hi,
I really like LUA and this DS LUA projet. But, we need a connection to the real world. So I plan to devellop a "WIFI Robot Control Board" to use with the Nintendo. Any interest ?

Title: Re: Hardware Project : Robot Control Card Post by: daltonlaffs on July 04, 2007, 07:52:22 AM TOAST, you can't get off saying that to anyone... especially without proof.
And georges, personally I think it would be a good idea, but wouldn't it just be easier to use a remote control or PC instead? :3 Title: Re: Hardware Project : Robot Control Card Post by: TOAST on July 04, 2007, 09:50:49 AM Dalton: then does he have proof that he can do anything? No. If he would've provided any kind of portfolio or just samples of what he knows I would be less dubious.

My idea was to use a nintendo DS as a brain for a little mobile robot ( like the Natrium42 robot ). But for this a need a few inputs and outputs to be connected to the robot hardware. It is very easy to design a little control board for the robot but I need a connection to the brain ( NDS ). As there is no serial port ( the easier way ) I need to use a WIFI connection. The interest of using the NDS is to have a multithread fast language with ethernet ( wifi ) access in a box with a keyboard and a screen. If there is some interest I will do that. Best regards Georges Title: Re: Hardware Project : Robot Control Card Post by: daltonlaffs on July 05, 2007, 07:02:51 AM There actually is a way to get a serial port... google DSerial2.
DSLua 0.7 now has the ability to load PALib's keyboard, as well. But I doubt DSLua can access DSerial2 yet. But tell yeh what... I have FINALLY discovered why DSLua wouldn't compile on my computer, and I can now modify it! So I'll add a poke function or something that will be capable of working with a serial port.

Adding a Peek and a Poke function will be really great to access hardware. Now, I need a DSerial Supercard extension :-) Nice work Georges |
