Robocommunity members,

As you may know, I'm taking over official duties as the voice of WowWee on Robocommunity!  I welcome the opportunity to engage with our robot-loving fans.    

Some quick tidbits about me:

- I am a Marketing Manager at WowWee

- I'm the guy who started to actively respond to postings in our Social Media venues in October 2009 (join Facebook, Twitter)

- I'm a fan of these shows: ST:TNG, DS9, Enterprise, Battlestar Galactica and The Office (I'm convinced Dwight is a robot)

I'll try to help out the best I can and keep things fun!

Cheers,

Randy

I know some of you have been impatiently (and patiently) waiting for the entire eCos code for Rovio and we've finally got it for you. You can get right here:

http://www.robocommunity.com/download/17502/Rovio-eCos-Code/

Note that you'll need the ARM Developer Suite v.1.2 to run this script, or if you don't, you can use your own ARM develpment tools to compile the code. 

Have fun! 

Long-awaited and finally available, the Cinemin Swap is now available for your Cinemin Swivel needs at Brookstone. You can use it to project your VGA signals (i.e. from your laptop or netbook) to an analog AV signal that Swivel can use.

Great news for our French Rovio users -- our latest Rovio Software Installer v.2.3 (freshly uploaded) has a few bug fixes and now is also available in French! 

Let us know what you think! 

New and improved Rovio Recorder v.1.1 for you to try out in case you haven't already.

Here's a Rovio tip:

For those of you wondering how to view the complete list of firmware changes, you can always view the text file by entering the address of your Rovio, and then adding /updates.txt to the end of the URL.

For example:
