This weekend we continued the construction of ElMo - we drilled some holes in the perspex base using a dremel drill press
These will be used to bolt on some vex metal that we will attach sensors to
We also soldered wires to the motors and connected them up to the picoborg reverse controller
Next time we will be connecting the pi and the batteries and if all goes well we may be in a position to run our first test program - exciting :)
On the software front, we also managed to get a PS3 controller to connect to a raspberry pi - more details in a later post. There are a few more package installations required to use the diddyborg, I'll be downloading those this week
