@spyder You probably mentioned this earlier in the post, but what are you using for the speaking? Very good job getting up and running.

@itscaseydambit Having been a programmer since the days of the Apple II, I certainly didn't see your posting as being arrogant. We tend to just not m...

This is a great idea. Can you tell me where you store it so it gets loaded when you do a new project?

@itscaseydambit I had not though of the 20 AGW solid gauge wire, duh. Thanks for the suggestion.

@spyder @triform I have been crimping them too. Took lots of tries before I started getting more successes than failures.

@spyder That does not make it any less of an interesting topic, I see there are no shortages of YouTube videos about it.

ROS uses it's own proprietary stack to communicate among the nodes. It does have a MQTT bridge to export to MQTT,

My thoughts are that we need to separate programming from problem solving. Frankly, anybody can learn C++ or Python enough to create programs in ju...

@spyder I did, I changed some code but still had to buy a better controller.

@casey I think they were each different so we could remember which computer we were programming on at the moment. (sarcasm)

Probably already done this but open device manager and besure your system recognized the board and double check the COM port. I have had problems wit...

@spyder Yeah, I've been known to look all over for the tool I know I just laid down only to discover I actually put it away where it belonged.

spyder, regardless of what I said above, if you don't know either, and want to get the job done, I would suggest you start with Python. It has a much...
