Ok I installed a new plugin so you should be able to use it better now.

Sorry about the issues!

Cool dude! That oscilloscope is interesting for sure, you have to tell me how well it works once you figure it out. I don’t really even know what an oscilloscope is used for primarily at this time – i will probably get there eventually.

I too hope to build a robot sometime soon – I am thinking I might go for something like this R/C Tank tank for my chassis.

I have so much work to do lately, so I haven’t had much time =(

What I was trying to say was: I think I’m going to buy the $49.00 oscillloscope at nkc electronics.

I had also mentioned RobotShop’s Robot Rover Kit.

Feel free to delete or edit my previous comments. I can’t seem to get the HREF tag to work. It’s grabbing whatever comes after the “>” as the title.

What I meant to link to was a $49.00 at nkc electronics. The price seems to good to be true, doesn’t it? I haven’t done anything with the LCD.as yet.

Most of my time is spent planning the robot. I have most of the parts to begin assembling it and start writing the code. It’s based on RobotShop’s . I haven’t ordered the soldering equipment yet. I plan to buy the cheapest Weller soldering station.

Hey dude, nice to see you back!

I have been doing a bit of experimentation with a LCD display lately, hopefully I will post about it soon. Not terribly interesting, once I got the wiring done up correctly at least.

Anyhow, regarding your link – I am not aware of a way to allow edits of comments in WP. Can you re-post the link?

I seem to have screwed up my link. Does Wordpress allow you to edit your comments?

That’s quite a multimeter. I bought mine on eBay for $7.69. No digital. I look at NKC a lot. I think I’m going to buy their . That will require that I learn a bit more about electronics or God knows what I will turn into fused junk.
