Well the USPS thinks they have one sitting there waiting for me to pick it up in the morning so we’ll see what’s in the box then. 
Well Took my BRAT apart tonight … He been put back into spider parts.
Eddieb Take pics of your that you hack up … I would like to see it (and maybe even want a printable version of it for mine 
)
Well, a bird in the hand reveals the WiPort Board V3.0 “fits” the EC-02 and SSC-32 hole pattern directly. No adapter board required. 
Have you actually tried putting standoffs together with them?
My V3 board doesn’t match my ABB/SSC-32 mounting holes.
If I was still using the WiPort, I would have had to drill out the holes a bit to get the proper match (which David said would be fine).
nice 8)
man i cant wait to get my hands on one of them!! they are incredible
Im getting a whole load of robot stuff today from lynxmotions. My birthdays tomorrow so I’ll be treating myself to some nifty gadgets and parts for my rover.
Yes. I did.
Howver I also did line up and thread together the EC-02, SSC-32, and WiPort loosely, and THEN tightened it all down. Might be there is enough slop in the holes to allow it to work, the holes in the EC-02 aren’t even round, and there is friction on the threads when it all goes together.
Actually if I stare at it for a bit there is some spread in the 3/4" standoffs between the SSC-32 and WiPort but… it’s close enough.
Thats good to hear!
Eddie, where did you get that wiport? Got a picture of your setup? I would like to see it.
Ahh, that makes sense, since I was using hex standoffs that I got from a different kit, which happened to just barely fit through the holes.
They were also alluminum, so they probably didn’t give as much as the nylon LM standoffs would.
He probably got it from www.wibotics.com
I ordered a new board for my sensor board project and I also ordered the SSC-32. I hope my boards bolt hole pattern matches the SSC-32. I also want to get the wi-port also in the future. What concerns me is to number of boards that I may wind up having.
Right now it turns out that I will have:
- Mini-AB board
- SSC-32 board
- RSCU board (My sensor board)
- Wi-port board
These boards stacked is going to give my biped a huge hump back! 
I am going to have to program a hunch back walking gate! Should I call him E-gore?
4 boards?!?!
if he falls, hes gonna need some skill to get up
from his back i mean
Hi,
Im going to buy the BRAT (if it dosent go out of stock ) but i dont have the battery pack and dont have enough money to buy it presently so it goes in future expensise. Im going to have 5 1.2V AA batteries in a platic pack. How can I plug it in the SSC-32 board?
Sam thanks
Mike, there’s a few solutions.
On my second design, I had put two boards sideways accross the chest and two boards vertical on the back as a backpack.
It made him look like he was on steroids, but I can’t say that I didn’t like the look.
After the boards were spread around like that, he was quite mobile.
Still, I wasn’t satisfied by the space waste, as you seem to be as well, which was one of the reasons that I’m again revising the biped.
I’ve been prototyping my own PIC boards, and I left a small cavity for the main board in the new design’s chest.
That one’ll carry the wireless module (a SMiRF) as well as any accelerometers/gyros that I use.
In a recession under each foot that I’ll eventually get around to making, there’ll be a small PIC board to read the pressure sensors and relaying the corrected positions.
I’ve made a carrier on the chest using 4 “L” brackets and a rectangle of kydex (to protect the PCB) for the SSC-32.
So, with the boards spread around like this, the only space that I’m wasting is the 3/4" of the SSC-32 that sticks out of the bot’s chest.
Mike, I’ll figure out how to post a pic or two at some point. One thing I noticed was the Wiport Board docs seem to be for the earlier version. Also, right now I’m kind of stuck on initializing the wiport module itself because the webiste with the data sheets (lantronix) seems to be down. I got into it with the laptop this morning but when I went to use my desktop this afternoon it was not working. So I wait. 
wow. Is it hard to program the wiport???
BTW what does a Wiport actually do? Is it some sort of bot board?
the wirport allows you to, correct me if im wrong guys, communicate with your robot wirelessly via your computer, i think so
cant hold me liable
so its like a ssc 32. thought so, though Im wondering if it is hard to program. Might wanna use it for other purposes someday or with the cool remote controller BRAT with the TV converter.
im not sure if you need to program it, you plug one part of the wi port into your computer and you took the other part of that kit and put it on you bot, plugging in it watever you want to commminicate to through your computer and thats all i think i know
again check with the other guys first, i dont want to be giving you false information
hey evryone!
What is the diference between brushed and black anodized brackets exept the color?
Sam thx
