I have build the Wiport device and have not tested it.  Waiting on getting my TTL cable made up. Body has not changed since I posted the last pictures as I been to busy to work on that part

I have ordered 50' of servo cable wires (In case I get the wild hair to replace of the twisted cables). Plus 20 end plugs as well.

I also have a couple of books on robots coming. Should give me something to read at work  :shock:  since things are starting to slow down.

Ok I been able to work on some of the ideas for the body tonight. I did my standard of sculpey mini design.

Next steps will be making something like it with the pink instalation foam board I have.

I also created the power switch a couple of night ago for turning on and off the computer.

Still baking the clay.. thats the only reason I dont have pics right now.

[Dave303]

I normally bake cakes and chicken. You should look into changing your diet a little.
