I got the PDK alpha version yesterday from the PDK co-ordinator at Pleoworld .com

There is a lot to read and seems it will take me some time to get to it.

I am going to spend my weekend with it and see if I could make my pleoplus doing something special.

It would be FUN !

Sorry friends!
Many pages to read and it is my first time to learn about this kind of programming.
Not much done through the weekends.
Hope to make some simple talking and motion PDK for Pleoplus in next 2 days.
Will keep you inform the progress.

i'd love to help but with Baxters broken neck i don't think i could give the best opinion at the moment

great news though

Hi Friends:
Please excuse me for the poor 1 st animation done with PDK.

It is excited to see Pleoplus walks and speaks the famous Armstrong "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind !"

It is great if the PDK would give a gaint leap for Pleo !

Here is the link and hope it works for you.

I am already impressed by the speed of motion, it is much faster than can be achieved with MySkit. Can't wait to see what is done when the PDK becomes available to everyone

Great news

Iv two pleos now ones got a bad neck i opened him up and looped the wire around a screw.

Can test it out on him.

Dont forget to contact aibohack.com

Thanks Mike!

WOW! The pdk is Amazing! respect has got be given to Ugobe and of course Jetta this really shows how open to third party development Ugobe were. Wow the possibillities are endless lmao i'm all wide eyed hah and i'm not even finished reading all the docs. I cannot wait to see what the seriously tech savvy community can come up with. Wow thank you so much Mweed for getting us this early hehe. right gunna go back to play

justbede · « **Reply #18 on:** August 28, 2009, 12:30:19 PM »

Right here are my thoughts on the PDK after around 8-9 hours hands on.

Just from the documentation you can tell Ugobe really thought of this as a big part of Pleo, the software in him/her really does seem to be built for easy hacking and customisation. If you haven't ever experienced the madness that is programming it might be wise to wait for other parties to produce more hands on customisation tools like myskit but if like me you just like to dive in, there is plenty of info provided to learn from. Basic examples and even a couple of walk throughs are provided as part of the kit but i have noticed that the Pleo api filed under docs is slightly out of synch; some columns containing names do not match up to their explanation. Also under examples and drive_example the P files for hunger and social are quite hard to understand, in windows notepad the code appears in one large block making it hard to distinguish one line of code from another whether this is intentional (some crazy coding reason), a fowl up somwhere along the line or simply my notepad i haven't a clue but thought it was worth noting. Those petty complaints however do very little to detract from the feeling that the PDK really opens alot of doors, even if it gives nothing new to code geniuses it gives alot to the amateur. Oh and the fact that if you think of dinomite, pleopatra and myskit as part of the same toolset it's even greater.

hey guys

i tried the pdk and i have to say its great but what i missed was a program to test your scripts on the pc if its work how it should work.

and i have a question because there is an firmware folder with all updates and one update is called pleo 1.1.1 so is this update the last update from ugobe or it is a newer one?

mfg mischa

you can preview actions with aibo hacks program

justbede · « **Reply #21 on:** September 03, 2009, 05:43:20 PM »

1.1.1 is the very latest update but it says in the txt that it just fix a couple of bugs it may have just been an internal update for ugobe only. I agree with you on the testing part it would have been nice to have a software alternative to a physical pleo but i think it may just have been to much hastle considering how long it's take for the PDK to be released. You can i believe it mentioned somewhere in the documentation load/unload different scripts while pleo is hooked up to a monitor like dinomite and has an sd card inserted. You'd have to check the docs though because im not certain. I like to have some form of gui just because it feels right :p so i'm hoping someone will produce a tool along the lines of myskit to fiddle with all the pleo mind stuff.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #22 on:** September 03, 2009, 08:43:47 PM »

I'm sure someone will come up with a tool like that

Although it may take a while depending on how much interest there is in Pleo after Ugobe's troubles...

justbede · « **Reply #23 on:** September 04, 2009, 11:12:52 AM »

Yeah i agree, it shouldn't be to hard for the people that have the experience but the problem is pleo lost alot of fans towards the end

alot of people see them as toys which is a little unfair what else is an entertainment robot if not a toy. I'd love it if one of our members had the proper experience to build a tool around our input.

mweed · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:24:40 PM »

Had a breif chat with Derek today, He needs any final bugs/problems/fixes you can come up with on the PDK in to me this weekend, so that he can get them corrected. He's looking at giving us back the corrected/updated PDK next Friday for a final look-over before the public release.

I've gotten a few corrections and fixes submitted so far, so try to play with it as much as you can in the next day or two . . .
