Although titled: "How to corrupt my intern robot", there is a LOT more information contained within this video than you would actually expect.  I would highly recommend a full watch, or zoom FWD to 11:39. Okay, so Misty the robot is pretty cool   CLICK HERE TO SEE / READ / VIEW MORE I think its great that they've made different ways to code the robot, from 100% beginner using BLOCKLY (a person fav. of mine for non-coders to get to understand coding) You also have the option to code using the Python SDK, Web APIs and C# SDK; which is pretty cool.  So, you can go from total novice through to expert coder, well, as expert as calling HTTP APIs or using Visual Studio is...no C-code level for the hardcore.... except, oh wow! https://docs.mistyrobotics.com/misty-ii/robot/misty-backpack-for-arduino/ They have a backpack module that is an Arduino, so you can extend and enhance the robot yourself...and use C (coz that's what Arduino is coded in), so it looks like they've c

I had one of these fitted to the motorhome: https://maxview.co.uk/product/motorhome-wifi-caravan-wifi/ Whilst I've set it all up and got it working on the driveway, yesterday was the first time of real usage... so how did it go? " We'll let you know after this short commercial break ", It was awesomely good, to be honest. Now, the reason it was awesome, apart from being a brilliant piece of kit, is mostly due to the SIM card fitted.  Not all SIM cards are made the same :-) This company provide a SIM card ( you can replace with your own - but why would you? ) with the device and you get 5GB FREE usage as a trial:   https://broadbandgo.com/#/ I admit, I was a little skeptical and thought I'd give the free trial a go and see what it's like and then make a decision on what price plan we'll go for. As with most people, I have no idea nowadays how much data throughput I'm using over the network - I remember the late 90s / early 2000s having apps on the deskt

Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and do something, different! As previously posted, I purchased a 2015 Kon tiki motorhome, that is 8m long and 2.35m wide.  That in itself is not that bad, however the gap between the driveway wall/post on one side and wooden fence on the other side, only left a margin or space of a few inches. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't really present a problem, however, seeing as the road itself is about 8m wide and when reversing you cannot actually achieve a straight-on position, the inevitable "crunch"-ing noise was heard.  Luckily, I think I escaped any structural damage and just broke the fibreglass outer protector (I say, luckily, could have done without it, but I suppose it had to happen at some point). So, is reversing a massive great motorhome onto a thin spaced driveway getting out of my comfort zone? well, a tiny bit, but not really. I had made a bit of room and cut the rockery in half to allow for getting th
