    I'm sure they are - I just need to start fiddling with everything. I realized There was a home version - I first had the educational version. I see you can use Micropython too. I figure that studying these pre-progammed modules will help me learn how to program my own stuff.

    Sweet - Thank you - I have a lot to learn - at least I had put it into the correct folder.

    Is there a specific folder I drop the .ev3 file into?

    Hi, I downloaded Mindstorm EV3 Home Edition, Went to try and upload the ball cleaner file. All selections in the tools tab are grayed out except the Firmware update. I updated the Firmware to 1.09H. Problem is it keeps asking me to update firmware, and all selections in the tools tab are stilll graed out. Any ideas or suggestions on how to advance beyond this? OK - I think I figured that out - Next question is how do I import a file into the EV3?
  5. Fyredog
    Not a bad idea actually - definitely something to think about. Thanks again for your help. I plan to build the ball cleaner and the sorter.

    Thank you sir - I didn't realize they had that available - quite spendy too. 45501 EV3 Rechargeable DC LiPo Battery

    Thank you Sir that file worked!

    Hi, Just curious where you plug the AC adapter into the EV3? I just got one, and for the life of me don't see a receptacle for one.

    Anyone else have an issue trying to upload the .bsx file for the ball factory into bricklink? It says one of the items in the xml file is invalid or does not exist in the bricklink catalog.

    Does anyone have a good parts list for the ball cleaner that Jeroen Stam cleverly reverse engineered? The one on his brick safe doesn't seem to be set up correctly.

    I found the Berthil version and uploaded the parts list to bricklink. Thank you for your help!! The parts list in this thread doesn't work - says there is a non existent part - I'm leaning towards this version - But not quite sure yet. I know this is a difficult one, but it will be my fourth build for GBC - I plan to change the colors up quite a bit.

    Thanks for the Links I've never used the parts inventory in BL - Not sure how that works. I'll look for the Berthil Version.

    Hi, I am starting to collect parts for the Ball factory. Having a hard time identifying this part. Does anyone know the proper name in bricklink?

    Wow - I have been waiting to see this one in action - Quite pleasing! Nice job!

    Did I miss something? Is there a video?

    How Many times I could have just done this instead of figuring out how to hide the terminals in my Builds!
  18. Fyredog
    THANK you for that! I'm going to make one of these!

    I have a code Pilot.....Just fixed all the wires for it - have a fresh set of stickers for it. I just need a new set of WHITE rims for it. I am thinking about building it with remote controls. I have the space shuttle - in which I fixed all the wires - and a second set which I will be selling.I also have a couple other older sets. My son and I have alot of kits between us. I am going to go all out on the GBC and once I get good enough I want to get into the robotics/programming side of things, so I may be hitting you up for that knowledge base you have, BTW that wire you discovered is simply amazing!

    That is VERY Cool. I love it. Have you ever repaired a red micro motor? what kind of Technic are you into? I love the Technic stuff too. I have recently discovered GBC. I am pretty addicted to it even though I have not actually built one yet. It is right up my ally. I love to take a Technic build and fully remote control it the way it should be. Although I have fallen behind a bit - I left off at power functions. The new app controlled stuff is crazy. I have older robotic stuff I would like to tinker with. but need to get a computer built for it. I am trying to get a laptop with a serial port and windows XP. Sounds like your using XP correct?. I'd like to look into the Dacta stuff too. Your the guy with the giant train layout with all the control stuff that you somehow made talk to each other right?

    Do you have a thread for your 10497 Galaxy Explorer? I have to see what 60 9V connectors looks like!
  22. Fyredog
    Understandable - doesnt hurt to ask... I had maybe 12 from a lot I had bought on ebay with a bunch of old robotics stuff, so thats what I was wanting to find them for. I'll keep my eyes out. Thanks again for this thread - literally a life saver.
  23. Fyredog
    I'm sorry, I meant the Lego Cables with the ends. Old ones - You probably have a grip of them.
  24. Fyredog
    So Tucking the wire did the trick, and after a few it gets easier. The wire I found was in a single strand but a 2 pair and I basically stripped the ends and folded the wire over itself a couple times and used the pressure of the plastic to make the contact. Have had no issues, but was not nearly as easy as this wire is. It is somewhat flexible but not like the silicone wire. Now I just need to find more wire - you wouldn't want to sell some of yours would you?
  25. Fyredog
    Great Video and great find on the wire. I tried repairing a cable last night and had no luck. Watched the video again. I think my issue is I wasn't tucking the wire with my driver into the pocket. It is probably allowing the wire to slip out of the prongs while pressing the connector pieces together. I'll give it another go tonight.
