Great work – it worked like a charm, so I can now ditch Runkeeper. Thank you!

Have you got a link for that? Google only bringing up some Java SQL thingy.

Sounds like you could do a lot of what you want with mybatis.

Thanks for your help. I thought that, so I registered. It turns out I had registered but hadn’t logged in. What an idiot.

Thanks again.

Hi Drew. If you register on http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/profile_sec.php?mode=register_wtf then you’ll see the download link at the top of http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=156288&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 – It’s not visible to unregistered visitors. Hope that helps.

You dont happen to still have firmware do you? I cant get it to work with a search on the ddwrt site.

Thanks

Comment on Using a Wii Nunchuck instead of Cheese to control i-Racer RC car on @Raspberry_Pi and @Arduino by Conor O'Neill

Hi Pihard. I’m an old Embedded guy so I’ve had 20+ years of these problems What’s needed is a port of RTEMS, RT Linux, VxWorks or similar to the RPi. I’ve saw plenty of people get started on real-time OS ports last year but I haven’t seen any fully-formed one released.

I’ve also gone down the route of using Arduino (actually just a Shrimp: http://shrimping.it/blog/) connected to the RPi to handle all the real-time stuff and using the RPi to handle web-services etc. Works well but feels slightly “wasteful”.

The RPi’s 12 month old USB problems are still frustrating, despite recent progress, and I’ve seen some suggestions on the forums that I2C on the Broadcom chip is buggy too – hence the Nunchuck issues.

Hi Conor, been doing something similar with the Wii nunchuk and trying to get it to run on the Raspberry Pi. I can’t even get the RPi to display the serial port readings with the arduino handling the processing.(using the Gertboard)
Looks like the problem is with the Linux Multitasking. Take a look at page 127, Real-time Applications of the Raspberry Pi Education Manual. Linux can’t do the real time under multi-tasking. Two options… Dump linux and do some low level C for an embedded system.. Or let arduino handle live sensor and communicate the data back to the RPI.
Second option is what I planned all along since my project will be web connected anyhow. But I did want to see if it could be done. The rpi will still be in control, just not completely live on the sensors and motors.
Still seems like it should be possible since the rpi can handle live network communication… Hmmm.
Take care.
