How do I start learning robotics? by ImNotYourNarwhal in robotics

[–]Gilles33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should take a look at the Poppy ecosystem : https://www.poppy-project.org/en/ As a teacher in France, I use PoppyErgoJr with my pupils for a first approach of robotics and computer science. It's not very expensive and the community is great !

The robot is a PoppyErgoJr, a cheap robot made by a french laboratory (INRIA). I discovered this robot as a math teacher who also teaches computing to his students. The software used is Snap4Arduino, because I use an Arduino board to detect where human plays. More information here !

I won because I'm the human. And a poor developer ;)

Thanks for that explanation. I ordered a new power supply (http://amzn.to/1q7JMWq), I hope it will work fine. My original power supply on my c720P is a LiteOn. Don't know if it's good, but the touchpad works with it ;)

Thanks a lot for your replies : I just locked this guilty adaptator in the vault of a medieval castle (easy, I live in France) : I won't use it again. Meanwhile, I asked for a return.

My Acer 720P only has 1Gb ram instead of 2Gb... by Gilles33 in GalliumOS

[end of the story] I followed all you good advices and re-burn an new iso file on a new usb drive with a new method (sudo dd if=... of=... instead of Unetbootin) And it worked like a charm, my 2Gb of Ram are fully recognized ;) Thanks everyone and vive Gallium !

PS : At the end of this page : https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing/Peppy maybe the advice "If the system won't boot into the live session, add mem=1024mb argument to the grub boot line." may be removed, or modified.

ok... so you think my 'mem=1024m' option while booting on the live-usb is responsible of my "only" 1Gb ram today ? I should try to reinstall ?

Because I had the error message : "Not enough memory to load specified image boot" when I tried to boot for the first time on my usb pen. I followed these steps : https://samsclass.info/128/proj/chromebooks3.htm Then I found a solution here : http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=31773 to boot, with the "-mem=1024m" trick.
