Coding4Fun：具有Iguanaworks IR串行端口和PowerShell的微型Vi蛇机器人

UPDATE: Speaking of Robots, also check out what Ashish is doing with a Laser Pointer and Remote Controlled Car - he's created an autonomous robot!

更新：说到机器人，还请检查Ashish正在使用激光指示器和遥控车做什么-他创建了一个自动机器人！

I finally got around to creating Part 2 of my article on controlling a Microbric Viper Robot with an Iguanaworks IR Serial Port. This time I used Lee Holmes (with permission) LOGO in PowerShell sample and extended it to control the robot. A video is at left hosted on SoapBox and also hosted at Channel9.

我终于开始创建我的文章的第2部分，该文章有关使用Iguanaworks IR串行端口控制微动Vi蛇机器人。 这次，我在PowerShell示例中使用了Lee Holmes (获得许可)LOGO，并将其扩展为控制机器人。 左边的视频托管在SoapBox上，也托管在Channel9上。

Purchasing these Parts

购买这些零件

The Microbric Viper can be ordered online in North America, check out www.microbric.com for North American distributors. It's only US$89 at Saelig and CAD$99 at RobotShop. They have a number of educational robots that can be assembled by kids of all ages and skill levels. They're great for the classroom, and include projects like Sumo Robots, and a line-following bot, as well as a Spiderbot that climbs rope - all from the same kit.

可在北美在线订购Microbric Viper，请访问www.microbric.com，以获取北美分销商。 Saelig只需89美元，RobotShop只需99加元。 他们有许多教育机器人，可以由所有年龄和技能水平的孩子组装。 它们非常适合教室使用，包括Sumo Robots，跟线机器人，爬绳子Spiderbot之类的项目-全部来自同一套件。

You can order the IR Transmitter/Receiver from IguanaWorks. The serial version works on Windows or Linux, and there's a Linux USB version. It's not just a Transmitter, but also a learning receiver that works with WinLIRC and turns your computer into a learning remote control and can be used for nearly any project that utilizes IR

您可以从IguanaWorks订购红外发射器/接收器。 串行版本可在Windows或Linux上运行，并且有Linux USB版本。 它不仅是发射器，而且是与WinLIRC配合使用的学习接收器，它将您的计算机变成学习型遥控器，几乎可以用于任何使用IR的项目中

Robotics Studio

机器人工作室

A number of folks asked why I didn't use the Microsoft Robotics Studio to do this project. Well, here's my reasoning:

许多人问我为什么不使用Microsoft Robotics Studio来执行此项目。 好吧，这是我的理由：

• I'm ignorant about what the Robotics Studio can do.
  我对Robotics Studio的功能一无所知。

• Early CTPs of the Studio - before it was released - seemed really confusing to me, very abstract and generally obstuse. Not obtuse on the BAD way, just in the "I didn't immediately get it with a few hours and gave up" way.

  Studio的早期CTP(在发布之前)对我来说确实很令人困惑，非常抽象，而且普遍令人困惑。 不要以“不好”的方式呆板，只是以“我没花几个小时就立即放弃并放弃”的方式。

If anyone thinks that this project and the Microbric Robot could really benefit from the Robotics Studio - or even if you're on the Studio team - do contact me and educate me. I'd love to do a podcast on the Studio, but I don't want to talk about a topic I know so little about. School me!

如果有人认为该项目和Microbric Robot确实可以从Robotics Studio中受益-甚至即使您是Studio团队的一员，也请与我联系并教育我。 我很想在Studio上做播客，但是我不想谈论我不太了解的话题。 学我！
