Question about RJ45 Connectors

invalid@example.com (niko) — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 02:29:59 +0000

Hello everyone, I apologize for my inexperience, but could someone please explain it to me? I purchased a CAT6 cable and CAT6 connectors, however, my network cable does not fit in that RJ45 CAT6 connector; am I doing something wrong here? I assumed a CAT6 cable could be terminated with an RJ45 connector like a CAT5 cable... However, I've seen that CAT6 small cables are significantly wider than CAT5...

Loose Fitting 7 Pin Connector

invalid@example.com (niko) — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 10:03:12 +0000

I've tried two separate connectors and they both have maybe a 1/8" movement side to side when plugged in. This movement coincides with my running lights occasionally flickering. Do I have a bad receptacle or is there some solution out there？
I've read some articles like the pin connector tutorial, but I still have no idea.
Thanks.

Self-Balancing Vehicle

invalid@example.com (Berk) — Thu, 02 May 2019 12:47:30 +0000

Hello everybody,

I have working on Self-Balancing Vehicle with UDOO-Neo as final year project. If I am success at the end, we will use it like a Segway

Is there anybody who did this project before ?

Freedomotic on UDOO

invalid@example.com (freedomotic) — Sat, 20 Apr 2019 15:09:08 +0000

Hi all,
today we tested Freedomotic, our domotic framework, on UDOO Quad Core using the Debian LXDE image.
It requires JDK that can be installed following the guide at viewtopic.php?f=19&t=315.
The first results are promising comparing with RaspberryPi (using java hardfp jdk).
The GUI is not yet optimized for embedded systems but we are working on it and we are developing a gwt client.
We need more testers and developers so if you...

Drone UDOO

Hi everyone,

Controlling esc with Udoo quad.
the order are send by Ps2 wireless remote.
I use PSx lib and servo lib
For the moment I have no corrector. I wait my new MPU 430 ( gyro 3 axis + accelero 3 axis).

4 motors are not sychronisé I think UDOO violating timing, but it will be offset by the PID control in the future .

Spin a sneaker

invalid@example.com (keeter2016) — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 20:00:36 +0000

Hi, looking for ideas on how to spin a sneaker around in a circle about 1" off the floor. Original idea, connect sneaker to a metal rod. Insert metal rod into an electric drill. Mount drill to a steady box, set speed and plug it in.

Simple idea. Anything better...I am sure there is.

ADC thermometers (for the poor man)

invalid@example.com (I Hate Google!) — Sat, 02 Jul 2016 03:09:11 +0000

A long time ago I designed an incubation system for my chickens after the traditional "air" variety failed to work as well as they might have. Part of that - and also figuring out why the still/blown air ones weren't working as predicted - was using multiple (and cheap) digital thermometers.

There's a lot of science here that I won't bother you with (TL;DR) because there's a neat - and very practical application of the UDO Neo's ADC here that allows anyone to mount up to six remotely...

Wall·E Robot - Questions

invalid@example.com (Antoni DS) — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 16:32:05 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm quite amateur in microcontrollers and after a long research I decided to use Udoo Neo to build my Wall·E robot using a toy body of him.

I open this post to talk question how build hardware and software related with Udoo board.

First of all, how could be controlled at same time:
- 15 servomotors of motion (wheels, arms, neck, eyes, eyebrowns, etc) +
- EasyVR 3 (voice...

Android app as remote control for playing audio

invalid@example.com (iNura) — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 02:28:35 +0000

Hello
I am trying to build an android app, which will work as remote control for playing audio on UDOO (UDOO OS is Linux).

So after searching I have concluded that there are two choices either:
1. Streaming audio from the app to the board and play it.
2. Using the app to run one of the media player on UDOO.

It's my first time to build or develop something like that, any advice ? which one do you think would be better?

thank

Carmadillo mkII - Source Code

Hello
I have been looking for the projects which have been created using UDOO. I have come across this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V9C-KWMv5c
I wanted to do something similar but I couldn't find the code or instruction about it. Although I have found Carmadillo mkI but it much less functions that this version.
Can anybody help where I can find it ?

Thanks

Carmadillo mkI - App for movement + Video Streaming

invalid@example.com (iNura) — Fri, 08 May 2015 19:51:06 +0000

Hello all

I have been working on make a project similar to Carmadillo mkI (https://www.hackster.io/mikelangeloz/carmadillo-android-controlled-udoo-rover). The app which is uploaded with the tutorial was only for the movement while the video streaming can be reached by lunching the VLC app. So I have worked on an app which combines both, but instead of VLC I have added a videoView. The result is really good, and even the delay has been minimized.

Udoo candidate for SLAM project

invalid@example.com (AWMR) — Mon, 23 Feb 2015 09:38:02 +0000

I am not an engineer but a programmer. My interest is working from the bottom up in developing an autonomous wheeled mobile robot (AWMR).

Working from the bottom up is based on some first decision(s) whether a SBC like the Udoo Quad can handle the interfacing with other hardware like Phidgets components or similar hardware that can control DC motors with encoders and interface with something like 1047_1 - PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed 4-Input. Brian Burley of Phidget said if this...

Hi, I'm doing a project with my classroom, we have built a robotic arm and we will control its moves through internet . The problem is that we need to use the 3D libraries.We are using chromium but it says that it doesn't have these libraries so we installed firefox but it also doesn't work, we don't know if it already has these libraries or we aren't able to use them. So we decided to install these libraries through the lxterminal and we installed the opengl with negative results.

Hi everyone!
I need help about how to make a project that is in my mind from many time.
I'm thinking about a simple robot able to move in the direction of the people that call it. I mean that the robot should be able to recognize that I call it by the exact name and also it is able to understand the direction of the voice.
I think that at minimum I need four sensor to understand the exact direction to move the robot, probably something else to recgnize the name of the robot and to move...

This is a powerful project that might be another good fit for the UDOO, but in keeping with a growing trend these days, they've only provided binaries for the Raspberry Pi. They do outline the steps for building from source- http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/software/#manual-installation so it would be interesting to...
