So far I've purchased and tried both the Logitech Notebook Deluxe and the Logitech Communicate STX. They are both on the list of compatible webcams here: <a href="http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html" rel="nofollow">http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html</a>. I've tried both webcams on two separate Qwerk boards both running firmware version 3.1.138 in direct-connect mode. Neither webcams displayed an image with any of the software you distribute. Both of the Qwerk boards and webcams work in every other respect. Can you offer any suggestions for making making one of these webcams work, or direct me to one I can purchase that you can ensure will work? </p> http://www.terk.ri.cmu.edu/forum/topic/building-the-qwerk-source-in-ubuntu-91#post- Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:00:01 +0000 Anonymous @http://www.terk.ri.cmu.edu/forum/ http://www.terk.ri.cmu.edu/forum/topic/diy-summer-terk-robot-project-for-kids-a-good-idea#post-22 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 21:48:30 +0000 Amber 22@http://www.terk.ri.cmu.edu/forum/ <p>My daughter is 11 years old and is interested in robot, remote control, AI. Recently in her science class the teacher talked about the Mar's project a few years ago and some other NASA adventures.</p> <p>She Googled the net and found this Terk robot thing and like to give it a try during this summer. Since the project won't be cheap, I want to know if this is a good project for 11 year old? What kind of programming skills is required?</p> <p>Thanks to the CMU scientists and students who make Terk available to kids. </p> http://www.terk.ri.cmu.edu/forum/topic/building-the-qwerk-source-in-ubuntu-91#post-18 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:20:41 +0000 Russ 18@http://www.terk.ri.cmu.edu/forum/ <p>For those of you still using the original Qwerk source...</p> <p>The instructions in the "Qwerk Development Guide" still work for newer Linux distributions, like Ubuntu 9.1, with two changes:</p> <p>1) ensure that /bin/sh is linked to /bin/bash. In Ubuntu<br /> it is linked to /bin/dash, which does not support the pushd<br /> command used by Qwerk build files.</p> <p>2) change linux's POSIX behavior with:<br /> _POSIX2_VERSION=199209<br /> export _POSIX2_VERSION</p> <p> This enables the command tail +2 to work properly, as required<br /> by the redboot makefile in"<br /> ~/terk/cirrus-arm-linux-1.0.4/edb9302/.do_not_edit/ecos-2.0/hal/arm/arch/v2_0</p> <p> Current POSIX standards allow + in the file name so the tail syntax<br /> should be changed to tail -n +2 instead of tail +2 (although man tail does not say that).<br /> The change in the environmental variable causes the O/S to revert to the old treatment of + </p>
