Hi Jens,

Sorry, but I can’t find the drawing files anymore. Just use your imagination! Look at general structure and come up with your (exact) numbers.

Hi,
great job!
I’m planing my own robot and i looked at your drawing. I had some problems to open the fieles. In Corel Draw i was not able to open them. In DWG it is better but not every drawing had the correct size. So please can you send me the drawings in pdf?
Thank you!

Comment on Setting up LXC on Debian squeeze by wryfi

Thanks for the very helpful guide. LXC is great!

A few days ago, however, the mechanism for configuring LXC containers changed in the wheezy packages. It caused me no end of frustration until I figured it out.

My first attempted lxc install was 5 or 6 days ago, on version 0.7.5-3. Your instructions worked flawlessly with that version.

I attempted another installation yesterday, this time with the slightly-newer 0.7.5-9. I found that my newly-created containers wouldn’t start up properly, and had all kinds of problems.

Eventually I read through the Debian changelog, and realized that most of the container configuration has been moved from the lxc-debian template to a package you’re supposed to install in the container, called (appropriately) linux-container. This package uses debconf to help you set up your container properly.

The lxc-debian template shipped in 0.7.5-9 attempts to install the linux-container package in any container it creates. However, the linux-container package does not exist in any squeeze repo, so it fails to install.

One option is to download the squeeze package, chroot into your container, and install it. Since I already maintain my own apt repo, however, I simply added the linux-container package to it, then hacked up the lxc-debian template to add my repository and signing key to the container. YMMV.

A good lesson here: be careful using packages from -testing! They are moving targets (especially, it would seem, the lxc packages).

Heh, it has been a looooong time since I posted this, I am not sure I even have a source code of the solver program, so it’s a “no” :]

Awesome project, and great video! Are you still planning to post the Eagle schematics/board?

Thank you for the positive feedback. Actually programming took longer than the assembly of robot itself (majority of time was spent on a 3D cube)

Pasirodo lietuviai ne tik runkelius moka skinti:D Saunuolis! Kas ilgiau truko programavimas ar pats surinkimas?

kas butu sudetingiau – sukonstruoti rubiko kuba deliojanti robota ar, pvz, indus plaunanti robota (robotas itaisytas prie ciaupo, viena “ranka” valdantis ciaupo sklende(-s), kita laikantis plaunama lekste, ir treciaja “ranka” mazgojantis nesvarumus/likucius ?

Arba dar geriau – robotas-siuksliu isvezejas (vidinese patalpose). Padarai robota kartu su tam tikru siuksliu konteineriu (ar tiesiog galimybe ideti vienkartini siuksliu maisa), ir nustatai jo pastoviaja buvimo vieta X (tarkim virtuveje kampe). Ir tada sededamas kitame kambaryje prie TV ir rydamas bulviu traskucius), nuotoliniu pultu issikvieti robota ant ratuku ir su siuksliu maisu “ant kupros”. Robotas savarankiskai susinaviguoja sau kelia is tasko X (virtuves kampo) i taska Y (prie mano sofos). As sumetu visa slamsta i siuksliu maisa ir robotas, gaves kazkoki impulsa (galbut netgi uztektu kokio popiergalio prisilietimo?) isvaziuoja atgal i taska X ir ten stovi, kol ateina laikas wel ji issikviesti. Kadangi as visai ne prie technikos linkes, tai man idomu ar namu salygomis imanoma toki robota pasidaryti. kokios didziausios kliutys/sunkumai butu kuriant toki robota? O gal tokie robotai jau seniai prekyboje??

ir dar labai gerai butu lova paklojanti robota pasigaminti/nusipirkti. tikiuosi kad tokie robotai, jei dar ju nera, greitai atsiras?

Nu ka Andriau.. Saunuolis, ka as dar galiu pridrut. ;] Nenuleisk ranku ir daryk tai, kas Tau puikiausiai sekasi. :) Sekmes seni. Ziurek, kad pirmojo skraidancio automobilio isradejas butu mano klasiokas.;DD Sekmes dar karta.
