Glad the article was useful for you! Sorry about the link - I'll get that fixed ASAP. I too took stumbled across various other baud rates and settings in the code that didn't work - but yes, it appears there's at least partially complete code there for another similar board that operates with a diff...

hi sense is bug ridden and they know it, lecturers also know it yet they will still take your money. Stay clear of sense if you have any. The software may be - I honestly haven't tested it thoroughly, I spent the vast majority of the time looking at the source code! On the hardware side however, us...

Ah, gotcha. Yes, I was wondering what you were planning to do with the board to communicate over GPIO (visions of trying to solder cables to the FT232RL chip and run them to the Pi's inputs!)

That makes much more sense however

You could (possibly?) modify the board in theory to talk via GPIO, but that would be much more effort (for no good reason other than perhaps freeing a USB port - even then you can just use a hub) than just using it over USB. Of course, unless you really want to there's no reason why it has to be Scr...

The OU haven't released a protocol document for the board, but the squeak source file is available on the OU website, so (while not trivial) it's possible to reverse engineer it to work out how to talk to it over USB. We've actually been doing this to get the Sense board talking to Greenfoot, and no...
