I have just taken a quick look and started reading through your directions.  Looks good so far :)  I will have to wait till later to give it  a go though as I am on my windows 8 computer and will need to swap over to my windows 7 one.  Will try it all out properly hopefully later today if I have time and then report back.  Thanks so much for giving this project a go.  I'm really looking forward to learning more about programming pleos  :val-love3:

I am going to give this a go once I get some nourishment in my body, if I can do this then I would venture to say that ANYONE here can do it, :val-love3: I know Mike made it fairly simple and that is something I really need to be able to work with. :o Now my only problem is finding a blank SD card, ( I have a ton but they all have photos and video on them........ ???) then it is picking which Ugobe to use............................

          Mike, one quick question. does it matter which system the Ugobe is running...? Can it be the earliest operating system, 1.0, up to the newest 2.0? I ask because I know some skits will not work with the earliest operating systems so I want to make sure I get it right by using the pleo with the best operating system.probably a pleo running 1.1........Which system did you use when programming this?  :-\                            RWM  :cat-hug:

Kat, It may well work under Windows 8, I just haven't tested it that high up.  If the Ugobe official PDK works then myPleo should as well as it's all the same build tools just rearranged to be hopefully less confusing.

RWM,

You'll need a 1.1 or 2.0 Ugobe Pleo to run the code.  Technically the build tools will work for a 1.0 but it's a little tricky.  If you just build the example project it won't work on a 1.0 at all because the project has the wrong name...

In 1.0 they required your project to be named "pleo.urf" I believe.  When they updated to 1.1 they changed it so you could name your project anything you wanted EXCEPT "pleo.urf" so that way you can create SD cards that would run on both a 1.0 and 1.1/2.0 by just including two different project files.

To get started just go with a 1.1 or 2.0 Pleo for now.

I attempted to open the zip file today to have a look at the contents and make a start and I got this message:
windows cannot open the folder
the compressed zip folder is invalid

I am still looking at it on my windows 8 computer so maybe that is the issue.  will try it on my windows 7 one latter and see if I have the same issue.

Hey Kat,

The zip was created on a Windows 7 machine but it seems a bit odd that it won't unzip on Windows 8.  Anyone else having problems or success unzipping the zip?

HI, I am having problems too and I have windows 7, I did it like four times last night and have four copies in my documents folder and when I go to unzip them, they are all empty or tell me they can't open the file, I guess I need "Downloading for Dummies... :( %)) but I have had some success with other programs and running skits, so will try again in the morning, it is at long last raining here and raining HARD and I have to go out and feed my three surviving , (make that four) outside cats that I feed.( I lost my favorite outside cat almost two weeks ago.......... :()
                 

              I always have problems with these downloads it seems but I do have Windows 7 and the directions do seem simple enough, so am at a loss as to why I get nothing...

RWM,

It's probably a problem on my end.  I'll take a look and put up a new zip file tonight.  Stand by...

Okay I've got a new version dated 2/18/2014 up.  See if that one will extract properly.

Sadly I've never had any success programming through my Mac, what I do is run windows through Parallels (costs $80), or you could use bootcamp (free). But you need a copy of windows as well.

I started Pleo programming using the Ugobe PDK which included Mac build tools but I ran into problems early on trying to compile command files in particular on the Mac. Seems to be a bug in one of the Mac tools. The new Innovo PDK for the Pleo rbs are Windows only so I assume there is no fix for the issue.

That's the main reason I put only the Windows tools in the simplified PDK I'm working on for the Ugobes.

Note that with any of the PDK versions there is no need to download or install anything extra. All the build tools
AND the compilers, etc are all included in the download.

Small.   Even the biggest set of files take less than 7-15MB.  And pleos seem to have trouble with bigger cards.  So use the smallest and oldest card you have.  4GB or smaller if you have one.

I finally found time today to have a proper go at this and it all worked great :)  your instructions were clear and easy to follow and the little program you made with the sounds works well.  The only thing I noticed that may confuse some people - made me do  a double check is the bit that says
"type cd Documents

do dir again and you’ll see all the folders in your home directory. Notice the myPleo folder we just unzipped."

The do dir again bit made me look at what we had done so far as this was the first time doing dir.
Apart from that it was all great :)

Now I'm looking forward to lesson number 2 :)

Awesome News Kat! I'm glad the walk-through was clear enough to actually follow.  I'll work on that confusing part to make things more exact.  Anyone else who gives it a try let me know how it goes.

ok IMR, one really little baby step at a time, and only when there are no distractions...................... :moose: with eight cats , a dog, three turtles and a demanding husband and phone that never stops, the only free time is when I am sleeping, If I can do this in my sleep then I can probably do it.

i try your little program with the touch on my pleo rb. the touch on head, chin, back and end of the back works on the pleo rb, too.
but the touch on legs didn't work. i find the same problem from a skit of myskit when i want to start it on the pleo rb. (i know that myskit is not for the pleo rb but i try how it works.)

sorry when my english is not so good :)

In Pleo RB the sensors are slightly different than the original Pleo's, from memory legs and cheeks don't work.
