| August 8th, 2009 Had a dream that I hacked into my son's old Teddy Ruxben (story telling bear) where I made it talk evil and be animated creepily for a Halloween theme. It was controlled over an XeeBee wireless so it could jump in front of kids and not have a bunch of wires dangling to a PC. I haven't actually had a chance to do much since I got up as my son has wanted some of my attention as I have been a bit distracted from my father stuff since I got this AVR kit. I showed him some stuff it can do, and for a four year old he was impressed that the motor speed I could change just with the flasing LED script changed from 100ms waits to 1ms, now a motor apears to spin slow (bit of stepping, but he was impressed). But nows he bored because I cannot make a robot yet, but I said when I can, we will. I also warned him some of his old toys will have to be dissected for parts to a robot. |
