Slow uptake

dash9

Not much new, I have gotten the Xbees to communicate in API mode. The only subsystem left to develop is the servo driver. Turns out I’m going to have to roll my own incarnation using timer 1. But that’s actually good, I don’t like depending on ‘libraries’ from third parties which often have deep dependency lists.

I’m also doing another pass on the RaspberryPi/Wixel/HTML5/Websockets project with the idea of releasing it open source or at least a collection of source code that mostly works. I hope to include the Master/Slave Wixel protocol thing I’ve had laying around for a while too.

Some very sad news too, Aristocraft Trains, who make one of the locomotives I really really want (pic above), is going out of business. Perhaps I can pick up a NS Dash9 before they go completely extinct but damn, that messes up some of my plans. Oh well. Shit happens.
