Hi!<br>Richard asked for a project update- here's mine:<br>I've been doing robotic stuff 24x7 lately. I had a great time taking my DanceBot to my daughter's Kindergarten class last week. My daughter was very proud and happy to have me and my robot along for show and tell; I was amazed that the kids asked me more than 30 minutes worth of good questions! DanceBot now uses a camera to somewhat reliably detect a "barcode" pattern. It's almost like magic or telepathy when I move the barcode up/down/left/right and the robots does what I want it. Pretty cool! I'm writing up a 10 page feature article on Vision Programming for the Propeller, which will run in the March Robotics issue of Circuit Cellar. <br>
I'm also very happy to have launched ViewPort v4, accompanied with an excellent PE Lab from Parallax, an article in the Parallax newsletter, and several positive forum posts. I'm now building a ViewPort plugin that will provide state-of-the-art integrated debugging for the Propeller. Minutes ago my spin code hit it's first breakpoint and single step!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the Christmas meeting- bring your robots and sign up for an NXT!<br>Hanno<br>
