The first Delphi 10.2 Tokyo compatible port of most of the Mitov Software components with partial Linux, MAC and Android support is now available

Hello all of you Delphi, and C++ Builder fans out there,

This is updated version of the post!

I have just updated the Delphi and C++ Builder 10.2 Tokyo compatible installers with initial partial Linux port of large number of the components.

The latest update is available here:
http://labpacks.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-first-delphi-102-tokyo-compatible.html

The installers are only for 10.2 Tokyo, and have been tested with both Delphi and C++ Builder. I will be doing more tests in the coming days, and will be doing further improvements. I will also see to post installers for 10.0 Seattle, and 10.1 Berlin as well.

Cheers,

  Boian

Just received a new beautiful Smart Car robot kit Version 2.0 from Elegoo for the Visuino development!

Couple of months ago the great folks at Elegoo sent me a beautiful Robot Kit Version 1.0.
I already posted Assembly Instructions, and some tutorials on programming it.
Since then Elegoo introduced a newer and simpler to assemble 2.0 version, and the Elegoo folks just sent me this really beautiful Smart Car Robot KIT Version 2.0 donated for the Visuino development.
It arrived over the weekend, and I already have assembled it, and recorded some assembly videos. I even had a chance to do a basic implementation of the support for its shield in Visuino, and plan to add more features in the coming days.

My first impression is that the set is of very high quality! Also includes all the necessary tools for the assembly.

Nice box with handle, and well packed components:

I will post the unboxing video soon, so stay tuned ;-)

Yesterday received an ENC28J60 Ethernet module generously donated by Rafal Czachurski for the Visuino development!

Thank you Rafal!

I am almost done with the Modbus development, so in the next 1-2 days, I should be able to get back to adding support for the modules that I received recently, including this one!

Elegoo Bluetooth Controlled Arduino Robot with Visuino and Delphi article in the "Blaise Pascal Magazine"

My next Visuino and Delphi article has just been published in the "Blaise Pascal Magazine" http://www.blaisepascal.eu :

This is Part 1. It shows you how to program Elegoo Arduino Smart Car robot with Visuino to be controlled through Bluetooth Classic with HC-06 module.

In the following article I will also show you how to create Android App with Delphi to control the robot.

Thank you Richard!

I am still overloaded with the Modbus development, but it is getting close to completion so in the next 2-3 days, I should be able to get back to adding support for the modules that I received recently, including this one!

The "Build Something That Matters" Hackaday Unconference in Pasadena last Saturday

Last Saturday I was at the "Build Something That Matters" Hackaday Unconference in Pasadena .
It was a great and fun event, with a number of very interesting and inspirational speakers, and as customary for the Supplyframe Design Lab very good food.
Here are some of the pictures I took:

Present was also one of the Hackaday editors - Dan Maloney:

And here are some of the speakers:

No such event is complete without great food :-)

A lot of people stayed long after the event was over:

I met a lot of interesting people, and learned a lot in few hours, and even had a chance to make an 8 minute presentation of Visuino .

This was a great event, and I hope there will be many more like it in the coming years!

The very first Visuino Pro Beta version with Modbus support is now available!

Happy Pi Day everyone!

The very first Visuino Pro Beta version is now available in the Visuino community!

https://plus.google.com/communities/116125623808250792822

It includes Modbus Slave support, and allows easily to create Modbus SCADA enabled projects, turning your Arduinos into Modbus compatible PLCs .

Master Modbus support is also in development and should be available soon! :-)

To celebrate, I have also increased the time you can run the free Visuino versions to 10 minutes every time you run :-)

Cheers everyone,

Connecting the Battery and Installing the Antennas of the Kuman Robot

Recently I received this cool robot from Kuman donated for the Visuino development :-).

It has Remote WiFi control module, Camera, and 4 servos Manipulator.

The robot has 4 main parts that need to come together:

1. The Chassis
2. The Control and Wi-Fi boards
3. The Camera with its Pan and Tilt mount
4. The Manipulator

I already posted number of videos:

• Unboxing video - showing the robot coming out of the box
• how to assemble the Pan and Tilt Camera Mount
• how to install the Arduino, Motor Shield and the Servo Control Boards
• how to connect the Driving Motors to the Motor Shield, how to install the Camera on the Chassis
• how to install the Manipulator on the Chassis
• how to install the Rechargeable Battery
• how to connect the USB cables between the camera and the boards
• and how to connect the Camera Mount and the Manipulator Servos to the Servo Control board

Here is the last Assembly video showing how to connect the Battery and Install the Antennas:

I have also started working on programming the robot with Visuino, and Visuino already has support for the Motor Driver Shield used in the Robot;
