EVALbot for $25

[SXRguyinMA]

I got the code today from this post:
http://hackaday.com/2011/04/05/ti-adds-some-linux-support-for-evalbot-weve-got-hardware-coupon-codes-for-you/

And after doing some research I don't think I can do much with it at the moment, so if anyone wants this SICK deal PM me and I'll give you the code I got :D

Apparently the codes gets $150 off, not $125 off. I may later try to get the eval bot and an arduino or maple working together! For what purpose.... not sure, but I'll think of something!

[SXRguyinMA]

well the first promo they did was for $150 off, apparently this code gets $125 off

Looks like they ran out. I'll be interested to see what you do with yours, Will. ...I haven't really touched mine yet...

[SXRguyinMA]

just ordered it :D

I did the first 'accidental' promo, and it was $125 off, this promo was apparently $150 off, or that is what the comments were reporting.

x88x, I haven't touched mine yet either, but it's more because I don't have a lot of time currently. It's either being spent on uni or sleep!

yea I saw in the comments some people got it free. my code got me $125 off, I think it depends on which kit you actually got, as there was 4 or 5 different versions. I got the one that HaD linked to at the bottom of the post

Heheh, yeah, mine is more that I bought a house...so I keep having more pressing projects pushing in on my time. :whistler:

well I played with it a little, but the software end is still a little out of my knowledge base.

It's for sale, $25 + S&H

[x88x]

Holy crap, you got it already?!? It took them, ~4 months to get me mine! (Though, granted, that was during a rush on the order forms..)

[SXRguyinMA]

I got it Friday actually, free overnight shipping :D

[Fuganater]

wtf does it do?

[SXRguyinMA]

well out of the box it goes straight for a predetermined time, then turns randomly then straight, repeat. If one of the bumpers in the front hits something, it makes a "boing" noise, turns randomly then continues on its way.

But apparently you can do some neat stuff with the hardware on this thing. It's got a mini OLED display, ethernet, MicroSD port, a standard USB and a mini USB connector. It's a little out of my knowledge base though.
