Title: Fresh fish from Down Under
Post by: Getorix on November 29, 2009, 07:16:36 PM
Hi!

I am happy to join the family of Pleo owners. I've just bougth my first Pleo and now already waiting for another one (cause first one looks so lonely  :( )

My main aim is to shake a bit developer's part of this forum. Yep, I am software developer. Big experience in:
- embedded systems programing (ARM platforms mostly)
- embedded systems reverse engineering (ARM platforms mostly)
- ARMASM, C++, C#, etc... (a lot of them)
That is why I am sure - together we could help our Pleo to be a star among all other robots.
So, IMR, justbede, mischamd, Dadio, wake up!

Other facts about me:
I am living in Australia (GDay, mates  ;) ),
Spend a lot of time studying robotics, AI, NN and GA,
Love Apple Inc. stuff.

Best regards,
Getorix

Gudday :D I'm from down under as well :) I look forwards to messing around with some coding once I finish off a couple of Pleo Wear orders :) My knowledge is very very limited though but I am learning :P

Perhaps you can suggest a way to make Pleo choose a random sound/motion though? We were trying to work that out once before but none of us here have enough knowledge. For example having Pleo say Hello, Gudday, Ciao etc if you touch his head.

Wow! My wife asked me thousand times "who making wear for Lilo and Stich???" :)

Definitely I can! As I understand we just need to implement a simple random number generator (and I suppose I know how to do that in PAWN) and then link its values to motions/sounds.

However, what I can not understand by now is how to convert motions from MySkit to .CSV files? MySkit is really handy, but I wanna use them in PAWN code.

Lolz yup Lilo and Stitch are my perfect models ;) Pleakly will be joining them after Christmas :)

I know very little PAWN but MySkit I can help with ;) There is an option when you save to select all files instead of just workbooks, then just add the .csv extention (you need to do it manually) and save :)

(For anyone who didn't quite get that :P Here's a pic :))

Heh, undocumented feature :)
Thank you for the tip! I'll try it this evening.

BTW, I've just found out that new PDK already have API for random generator.

so we just need to put:

in main:
Code: [Select]
#include <Time.inc>
#include <Util.inc>

seed(time());

in on_sensor:
Code: [Select]
#include <Util.inc>

value = rand(10); // for 10 actions
switch(value)
{
case 1:
...
}

Anyway I will start new topic in dev subforum this evening.

Wonderful! Thank you very much, I hadn't downloaded the new PDK yet :P I was still using the older one, I look forward to toying with that, it is essential for developing any mini personalities with any 'depth' to them :) I look forward to your topic in the developers section, there are only a few people here as yet with any interest in programming but perhaps this might generate some interest :)

How nice to have you in our pleo family. :) Even though I probably know the least about computers and programming, I still would like to learn how do some creative skits with my dinos. I will just be a LITTLE slow! ;D
