PowerPod makes it easy to quickly create custom Basic Atom programs for your H3/H3-R robot. The control options are: autonomous, PS2 remote control, and TTL serial control from a PC, PDA, or any other microcontroller. Many other control parameters can easily be modified with this utility. 12 12 13 13 __**This program is legacy and is currently not supported.**__ 14 14 15 -**To install:** Just download, unzip, and run the setup (lynx ssc 32 terminal.msi) 16 - 17 17 = Versions = 16 +{{html wiki="false" clean="true"}} 17 +<table bordercolor="#ffffff" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="2"> 18 + <tbody> 19 + <tr> 20 + <td bordercolor="#808080" align="left" bgcolor="#c0c0c0"><strong><font face="Verdana" size="1">Lynx H3/H3-R PowerPod for BASIC Atom Pro</font></strong> 21 + <p><font face="Verdana" size="1"><strong>Updated: July 30, 2009</strong></font></p> 22 + </td> 23 + <td bordercolor="#c0c0c0" align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="1"><a href="/images/files/firmware/ppod102_x44.zip"><strong>ppod102_x44.zip</strong></a><strong> </strong>(5.08MB)<br> 24 + <a href="/images/files/firmware/H3%20VX.44%20-%20Master.pmp"><strong>vX.44.pmp</strong></a> (67KB)<br> 25 + <strong><a href="/images/data/ppodh.pdf" target="_blank">PowerPod manual</a> </strong>(368KB)</font></td> 26 + </tr> 27 + <tr> 28 + <td bordercolor="#c0c0c0" width="100%" colspan="2"><font face="Verdana" size="1">- Updated vX.44 pmp file: This version fixes a bug with Atom Pro equipped hexapods, and adds a pause in the main loop.</font></td> 29 + </tr> 30 + <tr> 31 + <td bordercolor="#ffffff" width="100%" colspan="2"><font face="Verdana" size="1"> </font></td> 32 + </tr> 33 + <tr> 34 + <td bordercolor="#808080" align="left" bgcolor="#c0c0c0"><strong><font face="Verdana" size="1">Lynx H3/H3-R PowerPod for BASIC Atom Pro</font></strong> 35 + <p><font face="Verdana" size="1"><strong>Updated: May 20, 2009</strong></font></p> 36 + </td> 37 + <td bordercolor="#c0c0c0" align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="1"><a href="/images/files/firmware/H3%20VX.43%20Temp%20Fix%20-%20Master.pmp"><strong>vX.43 Temp Fix.pmp</strong></a> (69KB)</font></td> 38 + </tr> 39 + <tr> 40 + <td bordercolor="#c0c0c0" width="100%" colspan="2"><font face="Verdana" size="1">- Updated vX.43 pmp file: This version is a temporary fix for Atom Pro equipped hexapods.
