I'm not sure exactly what you're asking about. The Diavolino itself does not fit on a breadboard (it's too wide), but you can fit small breadboards on top of the Diavolino. (For example, on a Googly Shield: http://evilmadscience.com/productsmen…

Hello Ragnar, The easiest way is to post a link to the PDF; we don't support file uploads on the forum. -Windell

Clarification: The extended firmware ought to do this if you add a pair of wires that loops from one edge to the other.
-
Again, it's my guess. If not, then it would indeed be a "similar" change to make it so.
-
My guess is that the extended Larson firmware would already do that, if it keeps scanning in one direction until it finds the edge--- if there isn't one.
-
Yes, Yes, Yes, No (but the day of week is calculated internally, and it would be relatively straightforward to display it), not certain.

A lot depends on what exact materials you plan to cut, how big they are, how often, and how much precision you need. But... My impression of this type of machine is that it's not really rigid enough for use in cutting metal. Certainly, you *can* d…

There is no difference between Arduino .pde and .ino files, except for those three letters. ".pde" was used by Arduino prior to version 1.0, and ".ino" has been used since. If you need to rename a file, just change those three letters.

Is this at about column 15 or 16? It is most likely due to a problem at U5. Check the pins carefully, and see if you can figure out where it isn't making good contact. Another thing that you might try (if you can) is to swap the chips at locatio…

This can work, but it will actually be pretty tricky to generate the focused infrared beam that you need. An IR LED, for example, sends its light in a huge, broad cone of light, maybe 20-40 degrees across. That means that it's not going to be v…

It looks like you've got an extra Peggy2 folder inside your Peggy2 folder. Put the files directly inside the libraries/Peggy2 folder. Please let me know if this helps.
-
I'm not entirely sure how to answer your question. There are any number of types of IR receivers and sensors, and many of them do produce an appropriate signal that can trigger the Art Controller. It is certainly possible to modify the Art Contro…
-
It looks to me as though the QX5251 is protected against reverse connection on the battery, so that probably isn't the issue. And, if your blue LED is lighting up (at all) with a 1.5 V battery, then both the IC and the inductor are likely working;…

Download this revised MeggyJr.h file, and use it to replace the one in your Meggy Jr library: http://code.google.com/p/meggy-jr-rgb/downloads/detail?name=MeggyJr.h

Awesome!
-
A few questions to get started with: - By "column 1," do you mean the left-most column, or the one next to it?- Is every LED in this column dark?- Is this also the case in other applications?
-
Also here is a thread that appears to have some possible solutions for these kinds of issues: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=8946

Hmmm. Did you already install the Eggbot extensions for Inkscape? - If so, you might consider re-installing Inkscape (a fresh copy) and see if that fixes it. It is possible (although as-yet unheard of) that the Eggbot extensions have caused th…
-
- An error like "peggy2 does not name a type" means that the Arduino software cannot compile the sketch; typically because you haven't installed the Peggy2 library. In our tests here, programs generated by Peggy Draw 2 can be opened in Arduino 1.0…
-
Hi tnaik01, This is not actually a related issue. The "not in sync" error likely means that your Peggy is not connected to your computer, is not powered on, or has some other kind of hardware issue. Check your connections carefully, and make sure …

If you look at the gerber of a soldermask layer, what you'll find is that it's actually a negative layer. Soldermask goes everywhere on your PCB except where you have features in that gerber layer. And yes, you need to have holes in the soldermask a…
-
Hi RobotGrrl,I'm sorry to see that it didn't turn out-- it looked pretty good a few weeks ago in gEDA. From a quick glance at your Gerbers, I would have guessed that your top side would have had a nearly-solid copper layer across the top, and that …
-
Two possibilities that I can think of: Either you have more than one copy of Inkscape on your computer, or Inkscape is not installed in the right location. So, first check to see if you might have one version of inkscape-- for example, one where …
-
I'm not entirely sure what the problem might be. That should be the right version of Inkscape, and the current version of Xquartz is XQuartz-2.7.3. One thing to check is to see if there might be an older copy of either Inkscape, Xquartz, or X11 o…
-
The "most appropriate" depends entirely on your intended application for the result; can you say what you might use the output for?
-
Yes, by custom order; please contact our store directly: http://evilmadscience.com/contact

It's very likely to be repairable if you can identify the trouble spot; don't give up yet!
-
If diode D2 is not installed correctly, or if it has a bad connection, that would indeed cause this symptom. Check to see if there's a bad solder joint there, or if perhaps a trace on the board has been torn.
-
Yes, see some hints about how to modify Arduino to work without a crystal here: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoToBreadboard Generally however, I would recommend sticking with the crystal and putting the speaker elsewhere; you only need one ou…

Fantastic-- Glad to hear it!
