Just a quickie update guys,
I have not posted anything in a while and I thought I woud let you know I have not fallen off the map. I haven't fallen off the map. I have been writing code and adding personallity to Walter. The biggest thing on my plate right now is the fact that I have over 90 new phrases for walter's vocabulary. Now this is great, but also a ton of work. Each phrase has a corresponding "head move" which needs to be "recorded" manually in real time. In the middle of this "recording" of headmoves, my ipod died! It is really no loss, the system I used to play files from the ipod was a mess and terribly ineffecient. I have now moved on to a Vmusic module. This is a little box with a usb for a thumb drive and communicates via serial UART. It really is a slick little system except for the fact that my particular module responded to every command I sent it except for "play file"!! I am actually sending it back to the manufacturer to be repaired! At any rate, walter is comming right along and new posts will be up sooner or later.
