Title: Pleo RB PDK is out!
Post by: Magnnus on July 08, 2011, 07:48:18 PM
I just checked the Innvo Labs Pleo RB site on a whim, and happened to stop by the downloads section, expecting the usual "Coming Soon!" message, but was instead greeted with an actual download page! There is still no firmware update, but the PDK for Pleo Rb seems to be officially out.

Get it here: http://www.pleoworld.com.hk/pleo_rb/eng/pdk.php (http://www.pleoworld.com.hk/pleo_rb/eng/pdk.php)

So will this program be able to be used in a similar manner as MySkit for the ugobe Pleos or is it for more hard-core stuff?  I thought this had been out for awhile but maybe it's a newer version, I hadn't been able to download it because I can't access the site properly. Thanks for letting us know! 
Can we get it posted on here in our downloads section? I can't log into the site, it wants a new email every single time.. darn thing never works, for any of the Pleos I've registered:P

Good find.

It is only available on the "HK" website.
To get it, login to the Pleo-World Hong Kong website (not the US one, pleoworld.com)
http://www.pleoworld.com.hk/pleo_rb/eng/login.php
Register if you haven't already (it is a different login from pleoworld.com)

Then pick "Downloads"  and "Pleo rb Development Kit"
(if you don't see it on the Downloads list, you are probably on the wrong website; if you can't see the 9MB download, you probably aren't logged in)

The PDK is for "more hard-core stuff". It is an update of the old PDK but for the new RB sensors.
You can still use MySkit for creating skits, but the PDK is for writing code to put the new motions together with scripts written in Pawn.

Here is an overview for Pawn scripting: http://www.pleoworld.com/downloads/PawnScriptingInLifeOS.pdf (from the old PDK; there is a trivially updated version in the new RB PDK)
If you never used the old PDK, after downloading the RB PDK, start by reading the "documentation" folder.
If you have used the old PDK before, the RB PDK will be familiar.

Well that's nice to know. I'm not a programmer myself but it's good to know that the tools are now there for those who are capable of "teaching" pleo to jump through hoops. Just kidding on that last part. Hoop-jumping might be a bit too dangerous for them. Thanks, PleoPet!

Yay!  That's great news, thanks Magnnus!  ;D

I notice your Pleo RB's name is no longer down as Painter?  Did you change the Pleo RB or just the name - I remember you had problems with Painter's appetite/hunger levels?

Painter had some problems so I sent him in to Innvo Labs and got a new one back. I decided to give her a new name, that being Caroline.

That's a shame, I do remember you having problems, and also that Painter had lovely green eyes, I'm so sorry.  What does Caroline look like, is she green-eyed as well?

She has orange eyes with pale rings around them, and a lighter green head. I'll try to get a picture up sometime.

That'd be fab - she sounds lovely!  ;D

Mac users should be able to run it through bootcamp or parallels. I'll try it when I get some time :)
