Do I have to do the plugins one by one on each machine? TurtleBot comes with all of the above plugins pre-installed. It is also possible to create a special spin of Turtle Art with just the plugins you want (several deployments do this and I could walk you through the process) > 2. How do I go about requesting plug in(s) for the TI Launchpad? I need to know more about how to talk to the TI Launchpad and what sorts of interactions between it and TA you are looking for. </div></blockquote>I have a TI Launch pad. Its a microcontroller board with 2 sample MSP430 microcontrollers. This is different than the Atmel microcontrollers that Arudino uses. Someone is working on a fork of Aurdino software called Energia. I guess you need the MSP430 tool chain to support the launch pad as you would need the atmel tool chain for the Arduino environment. <div>-Kev</div></td></tr></table>
