Paul Bouchier has kindly spent time and updated the Java RoombaComm library. Not only did he add support for the newer 5xx series Roombas, but he fixed a lot of bugs, added new features, made things work easier under Windows, and generally cleaned up the mess of code I had created. Check out the Changelog for a list of the changes. And try out the new version of RoombaComm!
Most cars nowadays (especially rentals, which I’ve been in a lot lately) have 1/8″ AUX inputs for an MP3 player. When I had just an iPod, this worked great. Now that I have an iPhone I found my standard 1/8″ to 1/8″ extension cable that I’ve had in my cable go bag wouldn’t work. There’s no way I’m going to spend upwards of $20 on an iPhone adapter cable to get around Apple’s design mistake. Five minutes with the Dremel and I’ve got a handy DIY iPhone adapter cable (and lots of little rubber bits all over the place)
This is the best toolchest ever, if you do electronics or other small tasks.
My friend Syuzi Pakhchyan had a nice long segment on Make:TV this week. She visited the todbot lab to have the laser cutter cut the designs for the switches in her garment. There’s a 1-second shot where the camera pans over the lab and to the cutter. For about 2 frames, you can see me. Wooho, my Hollywood career has begun. You can see the post about this episode of Make:TV, or watch it here:
