Five Arduino users in all of USA?

OK, I added myself using my five-digit user code but I don't see any marker on Bundaberg, Australia

As for "which map?"... Why not list yourself on both!

Done.

tkbyd:
To list at ArduMap, as someone said, you must supply your Arduino forum User ID... no, not your "screen-name", or whatever it is called. What ArduMap wants is a four digit number. Go to your profile page, and then look at the URL in your browsers address bar... it is there. Sorry that is so arcane... don't know a better way, and I have nothing to do with ArduMap other than user and advocate.

Yes... yoyu do have to "register"... a pain, I agree... but as I said in original post, they don't ask for much, and don't seem to abuse what they have. And because you have "an account" there, you can overcome some of the problems identified with the other map.

Yeah - that wasn't very intuitive; they need to make the step of the "user ID" more clear, and they'd probably have more people join. From their front page, it looks like you have to create an account/login (which you can, but it doesn't look like you -have- to).

Still - it's a kludge to get around the system here; really, such a map should be a part of -this- site, tied in to the user data, etc. That, or there should be an exposed API with some kind of access key (perhaps each user could be assigned such a key; not sure how that would work securely off the top of my head) - so that only users with a certain post level or something could access the API (and only then to a certain point).

It's all pie-in-the-sky though; I guess these maps are the best we can hope for right now...

just added myself

I just got on the Ardumap but, got put in South Carolina instead of Illinois. I have to wait to fix the problem it appears.

@YohiFan501, I work close to St. Louis, and I go to a robot club meeting on occasion is STL.

I'm there now but I see us Aussies, Sth Africans and indeed many others that don't appear to be English have Union Jack flags, some may take exception to that :slight_smile:

A few more in the USA, only 1 in Canada, but is looks like Italy is infested overrun well populated with Italians...

Graynomad:
Re the Ardumap, there was a similar thing a while back started by Mowcius. I tried to add myself but got an error saying the my forum user id "is a number". ??

As for the Pi, I won't be getting one as it's not appropriate for the things I do, thank goodness by the looks of it. Are you saying that the Pi is supposed to be powered from USB despite needing 700mA?

Just today I took delivery of some LCP Xpresso boards, I hope they aren't as much trouble :slight_smile:

Hi, I'am the developer of the ArduMAP, you can find your userid on you profile page:

I did manage to join a while back. Still no Australian flag though, people might get the wrong idea and think I'm a Pom* :slight_smile:


Rob

*Pom = English person

I just added myself, I zoomed in on my house and clicked "add yourself" and low and behold it put me downtown Cape Town near the popular drinking holes of the Waterfront - perhaps its an omen and I will be able to retire soon ?

It put me in the right spot. Smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

Looks around ... it's lonely here ...

"Still no Australian flag though, people might get the wrong idea and think I'm a Pom*

Thats because you post in English Rob, try your next post in Australian, and see if the flag changes :slight_smile:

OK, next time I'll try using 'Stralyun.

Fair dinkum blue.

Yes, that website seems to confuse language and country. Most of the categories are languages (but indicated by country flags) except for all the Scandinavian countries (which get a Swedish flag) and the Americans (who get their own flag, for some reason, despite there already being language entries for English, Spanish, etc).

Well, I added myself anyway (its the Union Jack pin down on the French/Italian border).

After 4 weeks of being on the Ardumap, it has moved me from the Waterfront drinking holes, to platform 10 of Cape Town Station ! perhaps I am heading home ?

I know the feeling, it often seems to take forever to get home after spending time at a drinking hole.


Rob

Well at least I am not driving home in this state!

Nope, it looks like you're doing the responsible thing and catching the train.
