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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

Unintentional, actually. The mechanics of the game are very simple, it's shooter. Would not be optimal to have the player pointing their gun around with a controller.

No, currently it does not. I could technically provide it, but the mechanics of the game don't really allow that without it being horrible to play.

Actually, that's important feedback, so yes, but we do require you to fill out the survey at the end. From what I've seen, though, the game shouldn't take that long.

No, it is not a company. I will provide links to Beam Down Drone's website and twitter in the OP. Your information will just basically be reviewed by me (I'm technically the only one working on BDD full-time) to see what type of tester you are and if we need you for testing. No, you do not have to pay anything (I would pay you guys, but I'm funding this entire project off my own dime)

We, the developers of Beam Down, Drone, are looking for people to test our game. Beam Down, Drone is an Action Platformer with a story told through a talking trash can. The game features four bosses, half a dozen abilities and effects, and large amounts of aliens to fight. At this moment, all the content(Levels, abilities, etc.) is finished, and we are awaiting some more art and voice acting. Also, please do note that the game is not at it's best, and it may not even be good at the moment: that is exactly why we are testing. Every good game ever has been tested.

If you are a casual gamer, a hardcore gamer, or even a game developer, please do sign up: a large variety of playtesters always benefits a game.

Have you modified any other hardware besides the GPU? And which Windows version are you using?

Have your settings increased?

Noice, fellow programmer here!
