Introducing my Raspberry Pi robot Piro2

Hi all! http://piro.patrickaalto.com/Piro2Small.jpg Some of you may remember my original Piro robot from 2015 (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=118716). Sadly I had to abandon that robot when moving to a new apartment. However, since summer of 2016 I have been working on a...

Re: I2C-Bus Interference problems when using DC-Motors

Hi! Sorry to hear about your trouble.. I am using MPU6050 via I2C connection together with two DC motors (ZnDiy-BRY 12V 400rpm gear motor), and I have not had any problems with the I2C bus. I did solder capacitors to the motor poles when I got the motors, but have not done anything else for the pote...

Re: Introducing Piro: My Raspberry Pi robot project

In case you are interested in following my Piro project, here is the latest video I just uploaded: https://youtu.be/ZyPCkt7Go4s I have still mainly been working on the balancing routine, but I was asked the demonstrate my robot project at work a week and a half ago, so I spent some time adding some ...

Re: PWM for servos, motors, and LEDs plus plus

I'll continue experimenting, with upping the hardware clock I would get more steps, and if I add some low frequency software PWM to the mix, perhaps that would give sufficient resolution. I'll let you know what I eventually come up with, if you are interested. Pate Just an update to my previous que...

Re: PWM for servos, motors, and LEDs plus plus

Hello joan! First, big thanks for creating pigpio and making it available! I have been using it in my Piro robot project, and have found it to be very straightforward to use. I am using it to drive the PWM signals to the L298N motor controller driving two DC motors, using 6 GPIOs. I plan to also add...

Introducing Piro: My Raspberry Pi robot project

Hi all! Introducing my Piro robot, using a Raspberry Pi 2 as its CPU. I have always been interested in robotics, but only recently when I got a Raspberry Pi 2 (originally for testing my rpix86 on it) I finally decided to actually build a robot myself. I am more interested in the software side of rob...

Ok, thanks for the video! I hadn't realized you run rpix86 within the X environment. Can you check whether the mouse works when running from the console shell prompt? I believe those two run environments have different mouse emulation, so it is possible that the mouse works better when running rpix8...

Sorry, I don't see the video.

Could you perhaps post the video to Youtube and send me a link (in a private message if you wish)?

Or perhaps the video is just waiting for moderation or something?

This is the objdump result of the log_fpu_c() routine (when giving the literal parameters 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0). I added some of my own comments in parentheses.

Hi sinacipigi, and welcome to the forum!

I don't think there is currently a way to disable EMS, but it does not sound terribly difficult feature to add. I'll add this to my TODO list.

Sorry, but rpix86 does not support .SYS files (or CONFIG.SYS contents in general) at the moment. It does not emulate a proper PC startup/boot sequence, it starts with an inbuilt DOS environment, it just uses 4DOS.COM as a command shell. It has been my long term plan to enhance my emulation to create...
