  1. Thank you, that is so much help! I know some of us newbies are a bit slow, but you know, gotta start somewhere. I didn't even know the Due had two separate power inputs.
  2. Okay. Again, I'm pretty new to the whole Arduino scheme, so I'm probably not going to be doing any extra breadboard connections that will cause more issues if the thing falls apart and take up a whole lot of time just learning how to set it up in the first place. Alright. Could you recommend a power bank that runs off 7.2-8v? I'm having difficulty finding one.
  3. Ah, alright. I assume that only applies to non rechargable or dockable batteries (and requires a whole lot of breadboard work) so I think I'm going to stay far away from that for now. https://www.amazon.com/10000mAh-eeco-Portable-Charger-Products/dp/B01NCJUM6K/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1493089219&sr=1-2&keywords=7v+battery I assume this would work, since it is within voltage and can provide enough amps? The specs say the USB Type-A Output is either 4.6-6.5V/3A, 6.5-9V/2A or 9-12V/1.5A, and the arduino fits those requirements. This might be ridiculously expensive, though, I have no idea if this is a reasonable price for a battery of this quality. I've done some searching and I think 7-9v batteries are all very expensive.
  4. Sorry, I have no idea what that is, or what just about any of what you said meant. Could you provide an example and explain what a polymer capacitor does?
  5. Oh really? So any 9 volt thing can just be slapped onto it and the Arduino regulates the power itself? Is there a specific downside to using the bank instead of a battery approach? Also, what was the Due homepage talking about when it said the I/O pins ran off 3.3V?
  6. Ah, I don't exactly know how much, or how to check. Well, my question was, can I use a power bank solution (something that is rechargable) like this: https://www.amazon.com/KMASHI-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-External/dp/B01738J61A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493086585&sr=8-2&keywords=9v+power+bank instead of hooking up batteries? If hooking up pure batteries is the only way to go, how would you go about doing that?
  7. Hello, I'm a bit of a beginner to the whole arduino lineup and configuration, so I was wondering if I could get some advice. I need an easy to setup power bank for the Arduino Due (preferably running at 9v, which is the recommended spec) that can last atleast two hours and doesn't break the bank. Could I just use a regular old phone power bank, or do I need something specific? I read something about the I/O of the Due running off a 3.3V, but I'm not sure what the exactly means or if it affects what type of bank/battery I need to use. If it doesn't affect the voltage I need for the bank, what does it affect? I'm using the Due instead of an Uno because I want to accomplish something similar to this: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/DueSimpleWaveformGenerator Thanks, Shadow
  8. Hello, I live in the U.S., and have been looking for a good pair of headphones to get for around $30-50 for Black Friday. So far, these look pretty nice, however, if there is anything else you guys recommend in the less-than-50 range than I'd be happy to take a look. I don't care either way if it has a microphone or not, just about quality and it being comfortable. As for noise cancelling, I feel the same way. The intended use of the headphones is for games, watching videos and listening to music. Best, Shadow
  9. Hello Claryn, if you haven't seen it yet, I shot you a PM a while back. I would appreciate if you could check it out :)

      Good luck. I've been wanting to make a game myself for quite a while now, but I haven't managed to come up with a worthwhile idea. It's not like I really tried either, I wasn't that motivated to begin with.

      Thanks, man. Motivation is the key there, don't worry about ideas. Just make something that you want to make, or that's within your limits. You'll get a lot more motivated if you have experience and know what (and more importantly, how) you want to create. 

  12. Testing has started, I've shot out three or four emails so far. If you're still active and haven't been emailed yet, then please PM me on the GMC or email (beamdowndrone@outlook.com) Sincerely, Shadow
  13. Changed my iGPU config, now my GTX 970 is getting 60 FPS in PS2 on Ultra!

  14. Hello everyone, Sorry for the delay, but I just wanted to inform you guys that we are still working on getting the game in a testing-ready state. What that means is when we get Voice Acting, we will start the testing process. A very early test showed that the game's story just didn't work without voice acting because of timings. Thank you for understanding. Best wishes, Shadow
