Semester project RoboArm


Our next semester project is an pretty advanced robot arm. The assignment is to make it programmable and make it able to identify elements and sort these correctly. Its going to be one of the easier projects i think, partly because we are going to prioritize documentation over coding this time and at last we are going to use a true object oriented programming language: C#. I would have chosen java above C#, but IHA is almost pure Microsoft which i think is kind of sad, but understanding Microsoft software and being able to create new software is of course a must. Anyways, its going to be a good semester and thats that :-)

Xbox 360 flashed


Some weeks ago i wanted to try and flash my sony-ericsson k800, to debrand and customize it. I failed because of CID51, and had to bye my way out of it. Yesterday i started on a new project, patching my xbox 360 dvd drive firmware, and after 3-4 hours of intense research and work (spending at least one hour searching for my torx kit) i finally got it working, original games still works, know i just need to create a backup and make the final test, but everything seems to work, with only a few flesh wounds to my poor fingers ;-) Yeah
