Received the official release version of Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT from Elegoo for the Visuino development, and posted Unboxing video :-)

Couple of weeks ago I received another Cool Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT from Elegoo donated for the Visuino development :-).

This is the Final Production Version of the Robot. I already posted videos for the Preproduction Version that I received a while ago, and now I am starting with the Unboxing of the new version.
There are some changes in the design, and I will cover them during the new Assembly videos.
Here is the Unboxing Video of the new version:

I am preparing the Assembly videos for new Robot and will post them in the following days. I have mapped the Robot's functionality in Visuino, and hope to have improved support in few days.

After that I will try to make some Visuino tutorials for the Robot.

Cheers,
  Boian

Assemble Macetech Arduino RGB NeoPixel Shades KIT Step 1: Assemble The Temples

About a week ago I received a cool Macetech Arduino RGB Shades KIT from Jim McKeeth of Embarcadero donated for the Visuino development :-) .

I already posted Unboxing Video for it, and promised Assembly videos.
Here is the first Assembly Video - Assemble The Temples


I am preparing the rest of the Assembly videos and will post them in the following days.
I have also already added the RGB Shades support in Visuino, and it is available in the current release :-)

Cheers,

Assemble Pre Production Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT Step 8: Center The Servos

Few weeks ago, the great folks from Elegoo sent me a  Cool new Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT .
The Robot is now available to purchase. The KIT I used in the video was a pre production version.
I have also received the production version, and will post videos for it too :-)

I already posted:

Unboxing Video
Step 1: Assemble The Feet, and Install the Servos controlling them
Step 2: Assemble The Legs
Step 3: Install The Legs
Step 4: Install and Connect the Arduino Control Board
Step 5: Install and Connect the Speakers
Step 6: Install and Connect the Ultrasonic Ranger
Step 7: Finish the Assembly

Here is the 8th Assembly Video - Center The Servos



I am preparing the Assembly videos for the release version of the Robot and will post them in the following days. I have mapped the Robot's functionality in Visuino, and hope to have improved support in few days.


After that I will try to make some Visuino tutorials for the Robot.

My "Video Processing with Delphi Part 7 (Video Capture from Web Cameras, IP Cameras, TV Tuners, Web Streams, Generate, Record, Broadcast, and Receive Video)" article in the Blaise Pascal Magazine is published :-)

And my 7th Video Processing with Delphi is now published in the Blaise Pascal Magazine :-)
In the previous articles I introduced you to many of the cool features of VideoLab, playing filtering and morphing videos. I also showed you how you can create cool video effects and animate them with AnimationLab. I even showed you how you can render InstrumentLab gauges, and clocks inside the video, and how you can render the video in variety of 2D and 3D surfaces.

In this article, I demonstrate how easy it is to capture from variety of devices or online video streams, generate your own video, and how to record or broadcast the captured or generated video.



In the article I used the latest VideoLab features, added recently. They are not available in the official VideoLab, release yet, so if you want to follow the article, you should download and install the latest prerelease that I posted recently here:

You can get the magazine from the Blaise Pascal Magazine website here.

Here are some pages from the article:




Please enjoy :-)
I am already working on the next Article, so stay tuned ;-)
Cheers,

Received a cool Macetech Arduino RGB Shades KIT from Jim McKeeth of Embarcadero for the Visuino development, and posted Unboxing video :-)

Last week I received a cool Macetech Arduino RGB Shades KIT from Jim McKeeth of Embarcadero donated for the Visuino development :-).


The kit comes in a nice box:

And here is what's inside:

Here is the unboxing video:

I hope you will enjoy the video :-).
I have already assembled the Shades and plan to start programming it with Visuino :-) . As part of the effort I already added RGB Shades support in Visuino, and it will be available in the next release :-)

The RGB Shades are now available as Arduino Board:

And all the modules are mapped in Visuino:

Jim McKeeth also has a Shades KIT and is planning some really cool Visuino and Delphi projects with the Shades, so make sure you follow him! :-)
I will be posting Assembly videos shortly, so stay tuned!

Cheers,
  Boian
