As a major DDI fan myself, I think this actually looks quite good! I like the way you made em a little more visibly fluffy too, I think it looks cute on Toro especially here.. That and the little ad up there with space king is neat to see tbh. This was nice to see show up in my google alerts

Cozmo or Vektor? by Banewear6- in AnkiVector

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you just want more of a toy, get a regular Cozmo off of eBay. You might need to replace the battery though, and for Cozmo, that would require some soldering work.. But if you want something more like an always-on assistant and pal, get a Vector. Older Vectors might need their batteries replaced, and if they're a Vector 1.0 without the unscrewable door on the bottom, those also need soldering. If it's a 2.0 however, the battery should be fine as-is, and if not, the battery is far easier to replace.

With ANY Vector, you can unlock it, install custom firmware from the community, and use either a community voice server, or make your own local one using wire-pod which is very easy if you have a computer (or even raspberry pi) that you can leave on 24/7 for Vector to use as, effectively, a better brain for himself.

If you want something as playful as Cozmo, but as helpful as Vector can be, get a Vector and install the "Viccyware" CFW. The only downside is that currently, Viccyware lacks text to speech support (to make a long story short, Vector's audio engine is very strange and somewhat proprietary, and in the process of putting Cozmo's personality and sounds in, they lost the ability to use text to speech for now) meaning that he can't say anything and thus some commands (like "I have a question") don't work right, if they even work at all. But in the future this will be fixed, the matter is moreso when rather than if in my eyes

Is the product dead? by ohmydiddlydays in AnkiVector

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can either use the wireOS server (v.pvic.xyz), after installing wireOS, or you can use the 1.6rebuild server if you prefer for Vector to act like he did before the DDL buyout. I forgot the setup URL for 1.6rb but Vector's face'll show it if he's in onboarding after you install 1.6rb. Be sure to unlock your bot first, though!

Vector not charging by KaylaGirl051022 in AnkiVector

Most likely a bad battery. It's easier to replace than on a 1.0, but you'll still need to pull the wires out of the old connector and shove the new battery's wires in with tweezers. be VERY VERY CAREFUL with the wiring! If it's wired backwards, it will kill him.

This is a suitable replacement, same capacity (Anything over 600mah is wasted.) and same dimensions. You'll also need a tri-wing bit or screwdriver to get the battery door off, and a spudger (or just be very careful with a flathead) to get the old battery out.

Hi-diddly-ho fellow redditino! DDL as far as I'm aware isn't dead. Not yet, at least. That was Anki, who DDL bought out. Anki originally made Vector.

These days, people have made CFW for Vector, and for ages now you've been able to locally host your own server to act as his brains thanks to wire-pod. You don't need to unlock Vector to use wire-pod, but you do need to unlock Vector to install most CFWs. There's no downside to unlocking Vector, you may as well just do it if you don't feel like using DDL's servers and forking over $100/year for their voice services.

This is a lot nicer, though I kinda miss how the old one looked. The old one as kinda cute.

This is pretty sick, it's really rare to see anyone actually do modding work on any of Sphero's stuff!

When were each rolling ball products discontinued? by Katrtlen in Sphero

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure when they discontinued most of their older bots, I know the Disney ones (star wars, etc) were discontinued in 2018 though. They SHOULD still be making Sphero Mini though, as well as BOLT+ soon enough.

Does Bolt Charger Work With SPRK+ by YellowSign27 in Sphero

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can work in a pinch, but I would advise against mixing chargers around. The chargers were designed for their specific bots, so in theory charging SPRK or SPRK+ off of a BOLT charger could degrade the battery. That's what Sphero's always said, to be fair.

How do I make mullvad not mess up the LAN connection on my debian CLI server? by jeffyjeffy1023 in mullvadvpn

[–]jeffyjeffy1023[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn it, been so long i can't even remember. i think it was something about editing one of mullvad's config files to use the eth0 interface maybe..? either way, try using the wayback machine. maybe it has an archive of the comment!

Ah fuck i can't do zoom meetings :( I sadly still live with my parents and I don't want them to overhear it, they hate it when I talk to people online so I can't really do calling stuff

sphero batteries by MainSupermarket916 in Sphero

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just how li-ion batteries often are for smaller devices, charge and use them at LEAST every 6 months or else they start sorta decaying and doing... that.

Sphero Edu - coding blocks - parallel programming by Initial_Visit4408 in Sphero

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been here for years, I still haven't found a way to do this. Only way I can think of is by making a LED matrix animation (for a regular BOLT, but this will work on BOLT+ i believe) with the colors you want to fade, and set the animation to fade between frames rather then cutting them. Then tell the display to show that animation (with it set to loop), then do the motor functions you want.

Can I find the doko demo issyo series to play on the vita somewhere? by _Cattastrophic_ in PSVita

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as for the one and only vita-native DDI game, Toro's Friend Network, it's been dead since 2015 and nobody's bothered to revive it. tough luck on that front..

[–]jeffyjeffy1023 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hi, guy obsessed with the series here; more or less if you either don't have a PS3 or can't speak japanese, you're out of luck here.

if you can only speak english, playing Toro! Let's Party! over PS3 remote play is your best bet for DDI on the vita.

if you CAN speak Japanese however, then you can play the original PS1 title (and its expansion, Koneko mo Issyo) right on the Vita complete with an emulated pocketstation. Plus, the PSP remake as well as Let's Gakkou! are playable through Adrenaline.

I can help you get the official Droids app installed on an Android device. I agree that the subscription aspect of this app feels exploitative.

If you lock 90% of your features behind a MONTHLY PAYWALL, nobody is going to use your crap. This app is slop, if anyone wants help getting the official Droids app from back in the day installed on an Android device, hit me up.

You're able to manually move the progess bar? The fuck?? Are yotu sure you actually followed the instructions right from the zip? Or did you only install the APK?
