This is the beginners guide for using the IOIO-OTG board in Android mode and is intended for users that have never written an Android app. The goal of this tutorial is to show how to write a simple app that communicates with the IOIO board. If you are interested in using the IOIO-OTG in PC mode, please refer to this wiki.
The programming language used to write an Android app is Java. If you are not familiar with Java, this tutorial will only go over writing a simple Java app using the IOIO library. This tutorial will not cover how to write Java code nor will it cover how to use the rich features within your Android device, like GPS, accelerometer, touch screen, etc. Once you get to the point where you want to use the vast array of features on your Android, we suggest first looking at the technical resource section on developer.android.com. If you still can't find the examples you are looking for, simply browsing the web will result in a ton of information and examples that show you how to communicate with all of the great pieces of hardware within your Andriod device.
In general, the holy grail for developing Android apps is developer.android.com. There, you will find most of the information on Android development. For documentation/downloads specific to the IOIO and for more advanced discussions about the IOIO, see these links:
Here are the pieces of hardware you will need to complete this tutorial:
The Eclipse IDE (integrated development environment), the Android SDK (software development kit), and the JDK (Java development kit) are the primary pieces of software that you will need to install. The page developer.android.com has written thorough instructions on what exactly you will need to download. Please read the instructions carefully, they are found in the link below:
ATTENTION: You must use JDK v6 (not v5 or v7) for Android development.
If you have any problems, see the Troubleshooting section from developer.android.com.
When you reach Step 4 in the Android SDK tutorial, you will at least need to install the SDK components relevant to the Android device you will be working with. For example, if you have an Android phone, goto Settings > About Phone and scroll down to Android Version. You must install the SDK platform corresponding to the Android version of your device.
Instead of creating a new project from scratch, we can import an existing IOIO project that has all of the files ready to go. If you need instruction on creating a new project, see the Hello World example on developer.android.com.
To import an existing project...
1) Download the latest 'Android Software and IOIO Application Firmware Image' zip file (App-IOIOxxxx, where xxxx is the software/library version number).
Note: If you are using an older IOIO board, make sure the version number of your IOIO library is less than or equal to the version number of your firmware. In other words, if you can't get the sample app to work with an older IOIO, use one of the older library versions or upgrade the firmware on your IOIO using the IOIO Manager and then use the latest download.
2) Unzip the downloaded package into a safe location where you want to keep your project files.
3) Next, open Eclipse, then goto File > Import, and select Existing Projects Into Workspace. Then hit Next.
4) Another window will pop up (as shown below). Select 'Select Root Directory' and navigate to the file you just unzipped and point to the HelloIOIO folder found in /applications/HelloIOIO. Be sure the check box is selected for your project. Now hit Finish.
5) You should now have HelloIOIO in your project explorer in Eclipse. Notice that there is a small red x next to the project name. This means there are build errors, so whenever you see this, you know something needs to be fixed. In this situation, we need to link the IOIO library to our project, as outlined in the next step.
6) Now we need to link the IOIO library and IOIO Bluetooth library to your project which will give you full access to the IOIO API. The IOIOLib and IOIOLibBT directories contains the libraries that allow you to communicate to the IOIO board.
Follow the exact same steps in 3 and 4 above, except use the IOIOLib file and then the IOIOLibBT instead of the HelloIOIO file.
After you added the library files into the workspace, select the HelloIOIO project, then on the top toolbar goto: Project > Properties. Then, select 'Android' in the list to the left. In the 'Library' section, click add, then add both the IOIOLib and IOIOLibBT libraries. You should see both of them with a green check mark as shown below (note: image doesn't show the IOIOLibBT, but it should be there if using Bluetooth).
Also, make sure the 'Project Build Target' is properly selected according to the specific Android OS you are using.
Note: If you ever need to change your build target (say you are using a device with a different Android OS), you can change it here.
7) The next thing you need to do is make sure your app has internet permissions. To do this, open the AndroidManifest.xml file located in the main project tree. Make sure you are in the permissions tab, then click Add > Usage Permissions, then make sure the 'Name' field is android.permission.INTERNET. See the picture below for reference:
After you have done this and saved your project, the projects explorer window should look something like this:
Notice the red x error flags are gone.
The project tree has many files. You really don't need to mess with the IOIOLib project tree so you can minimize that one. The file that contains the java code for the IOIO is in HelloIOIO > scr > ioio.examples.hello > MainActivity.java. Double click on the MainActivity.java file and you should see this:
Here you can start writing code and changing the HelloIOIO sketch. At this point you can keep reading or jump immediately to setting up your IOIO board and testing the app.
The MainActivity.java file contains the code that talks to the IOIO board. If you want to change the UI (user interface or graphics) of your app, the res > layout > main.xml file is where you make the changes. The main.xml file in the HelloIOIO example uses an interface that looks like this:
For more information on XML layouts, see the hello world example on developer.android.com, then scroll down to the 'Upgrade the UI to XML Layout' section.
At this point you should be ready to write your own Android IOIO app. You can now keep reading or jump immediately to setting up your IOIO board and testing the app.
Eclipse has the ability to compile your code in real time. When there is an error, you will see a red x somewhere in your project. This can mean many things. To figure out what the errors are, Eclipse has tab called 'Problems' that shows you what errors you are getting. This tab is usually found towards the bottom of the Eclipse window. Sometimes the error will tell you exactly what's wrong and sometimes the errors are more obscure.
If you are getting unknown errors in your project, please refer to the IOIO-OTG troubleshooting guide.
After you have imported the HelloIOIO file and linked the IOIOLib file, you are ready to start writing code. The example sketch displays a toggle button on the screen, which enables control of the on-board LED. This example shows a very simple usage of the IOIO and will give you an idea of what to expect when programming.
The code in the MainActivity.java file is shown below.
package ioio.examples.hello; import ioio.examples.hello.R; import ioio.lib.api.DigitalOutput; import ioio.lib.api.exception.ConnectionLostException; import ioio.lib.util.AbstractIOIOActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ToggleButton; /** * This is the main activity of the HelloIOIO example application. * * It displays a toggle button on the screen, which enables control of the * on-board LED. This example shows a very simple usage of the IOIO, by using * the {@link AbstractIOIOActivity} class. For a more advanced use case, see the * HelloIOIOPower example. */ public class MainActivity extends AbstractIOIOActivity { private ToggleButton button_; /** * Called when the activity is first created. Here we normally initialize * our GUI. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); button_ = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.button); } /** * This is the thread on which all the IOIO activity happens. It will be run * every time the application is resumed and aborted when it is paused. The * method setup() will be called right after a connection with the IOIO has * been established (which might happen several times!). Then, loop() will * be called repetitively until the IOIO gets disconnected. */ class IOIOThread extends AbstractIOIOActivity.IOIOThread { /** The on-board LED. */ private DigitalOutput led_; /** * Called every time a connection with IOIO has been established. * Typically used to open pins. * * @throws ConnectionLostException * When IOIO connection is lost. * * @see ioio.lib.util.AbstractIOIOActivity.IOIOThread#setup() */ @Override protected void setup() throws ConnectionLostException { led_ = ioio_.openDigitalOutput(0, true); } /** * Called repetitively while the IOIO is connected. * * @throws ConnectionLostException * When IOIO connection is lost. * * @see ioio.lib.util.AbstractIOIOActivity.IOIOThread#loop() */ @Override protected void loop() throws ConnectionLostException { led_.write(!button_.isChecked()); try { sleep(10); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } } /** * A method to create our IOIO thread. * * @see ioio.lib.util.AbstractIOIOActivity#createIOIOThread() */ @Override protected AbstractIOIOActivity.IOIOThread createIOIOThread() { return new IOIOThread(); } }
In the code above, there are plenty of comments that explain what each line does. This app is a great starting point for making sure your development environment and the IOIO board is working correctly.
Eclipse is a very powerful tool and gives debugging information in real time. For instance, if you write code that doesn't make sense, Eclipse will show a red x next to the line in question and even give you suggestions as to how to change the line of code. Simply hover your mouse cursor over the line and you will see something like this:
Keep in mind, if you have errors, you will not be able to compile and run your code, you will need to fix any errors.
Also, the IOIOLib has thorough JavaDocs that can be generated and browsed via Eclipse. Goto Project > Generate Javadocs.
Here are some more resources to help you out with writing code:
If you change any part of the code, simply saving the project compiles the program and creates a new HelloIOIO.apk file. An apk file is a compressed Android Package file, similar to zip and jar. files, that is used to create an app on your Android device. This file can be found in the HelloIOIO project tree within the bin directory.
Here are the steps to get the example app working on an N1 Android phone running the 2.3.3 platform.
1. Enable USB debugging. Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB Debugging
2. Install the apk file. The easiest way to get the apk file on your device is to plug the device into your computer. When prompted to install drivers, point to the driver located in Android (should be in Program Files for Windows users) > android-sdk > extras > google > usb_driver. Next, right click on the HelloIOIO project in the project explorer within Eclipse goto Run As > Android Application (or hitting the green play button on the top tool bar runs your application as well). Your apk file should now be installed on your android device. Unplug your android device from your computer, then move to the next step. More information on the Google USB driver is found here.
3. Prepare the IOIO board. The only thing you need to do for the HelloIOIO example is power the IOIO board. Keep in mind, the IOIO board will always need an external power supply between 5-10V. Single cell LiPos batteries will NOT work, you need a 5-10V input. You can connect the power supply to the VIN and GND pins (headers will need to be soldered in place) or to the JST connector. If using the JST connector, you might want this adapter cable.
4. With the IOIO powered, you can plug the USB cable into the IOIO and into your Android device. The Android device should show that USB debugging is connected in the notification bar, in addition, the Android should indicate it is charging. If you don't see either of these two notifications, try adjusting the 'chg' potentiometer next to the USB connector on the IOIO board. The potentiometer changes how much current is being used by the power supply to charge the phone. If there isn't enough, then the phone might not be detected by the IOIO.
5. Open the Hello IOIO app and toggle the button, you should see the yellow stat LED come on and off. Congratulations! You are now on your way to creating your very own IOIO apps!
Note: The best way to develop IOIO apps is to have your phone plugged into your computer while writing and editing the code. Then running the application (as shown in step 2) will erase the old app and load the newly edited app onto your phone. You can now unplug your phone from your computer, then plug it into the IOIO to test what you have done.
We have a blog post that shows or has links to many well documented example projects, with source code. It is a great resource, so please check it out (and be sure to read through the text for links)! Also, check out this collection of IOIO based projects.
The IOIO firmware is code that sits on the PIC microncontroller located on the IOIO board. Sometimes new changes will be pushed out and you might have an board with older firmware. There is a very simple way to update the IOIO firmware.
Guys, I have seriously just wasted an entire day trying to solve build issues with the HelloIOIO project and the IOIOLib library. I kept getting the red cross next to the SRC folder in IOIOLib. ECLIPSE was failing to compile the *.java files in "ioio.lib.impl" and "ioio.lib.util"…EVENTUALLY, after countless installs/reinstalls/rebuilds/cleans/SDK and ADT version updates, the problem was found to be the JRE version installed on the PC. You cannot use the IOIOLib library with either JRE version 1.5 or JRE 1.7!! It HAS to be JRE 1.6! This is assuming a setup of ECLIPSE 3.7.1; ADT v15 (required according to IOIOwiki for latest apk) and Android 4.0.3. (I tried with every Android API version and none worked unless I used JRE 1.6… Just thought I would post this here to save anyone else the anguish which I have just experienced…PEACE
I also had problems while running 64-bit eclipse and both 64-bit and 32-bit JDE 1.6. I finally removed any 64-bit eclipse or Java and everything finally worked. So in my debugging, I unearthed that ADK is not compatible with 64-bit JDK.
THANX! ghjtng I wish i sow your message one weak ago! =D
I have a few problems with the IOIO OTG board I purchased a few weeks ago. I already got the HelloIOIO app (V 5.06 / 5.05) running on my Android Device (Version 5.0.1). When I plug the phone on the board, it charges, but that´s all. When I press the LED On/Off Button in the App, nothing happens. USB-Debugging on the phone is set ON.
Can you help me?
Can this be done using android studio??
Though iPhone app development is demand, android application development is gaining pace and is all set to be the competitor for iOS. Android is already making its way as a leader in the Smartphone segment and the android app development is very popular these days and with the latest trends and utilities coming in android, mobile app development for android is the next big thing to look for. android apps podcast player
Looking for circuit diagrams to properly mate the IOIO to the Magician chassis. Has anyone done this before?
Dear Sparfun… are there any plans to build a Version 2 of IOIO OTG with more PWM and digital input/outputs?.. I love the product… and I would like to see a version that can handle a Hexapod with 18 servos.. :-)
Are there different types of JST connectors? I've looked at suppliers on eBay and what they call JST connectors all seem to have the male notch on the connector with the male pins, which is the opposite of the connector the IOIO OTG uses, i.e. its female notch is in the connector with the male pins. A few even appear to have dual notches instead of single. I'm confused as to what I should be looking for if I want to buy the proper JST mating connector for this board from a source other than Sparkfun (no offense, SF).
EDIT: I have subsequently found out that the connector is a "JST-PH" type. Adafruit, for one, sells them.
I successfully imported the examples in the eclipse and linked the IOIO libraries as well. But the error in IOIOLIBAccessory in the following line usbManager_ = UsbManager.getInstance(wrapper); is not getting resolved.
I know it is related to USB but i don't know how to resolve it.
BTW: I'm using MAC OS X, Java 1.6, Android 4.2.2.
Is it possible to program this to have a output to a touch screen? Like if you wanted to view files from your Android.
Is it possible to program this to have a output to a touch screen? Like to view files?
Is it possible to program this to have a output screen? Like to view files that is shared over Bluetooth.
Is there a more up-to-date version of this tutorial?
I have tried to follow the instructions using both App-IOIO330.zip and App-IOIO400.zip, but must make guesses as to some of the steps since it looks like this tutorial was written for an earlier version of Eclipse that the current one.
I can't even get HelloIOIO to compile, Eclipse begins by complaining that it can't find the gen folder, and it goes downhill from there.
If I modify the import step and use the Android option "Existing Android Code into Workspace" I can get as far as HelloIOIO not compiling because R.java never gets generated. I'm not sure why I would get this error, or what to do about it, since I have not changed anything from the downloaded code, and I would think it should compile and run, and Eclipse doesn't show me any other errors in the various res folder assets.
Thanks for any pointers, Brent
I'm not exactly a beginner but this has certainly kicked my butt. I think I can build my own IOIO easier than I can figure out what's wrong with this software. Takes more than just version 1.6 of the JRE I think. Tried that I think. Since none of the libraries will compile for me, I am having trouble seeing how the app can ever compile. I've looked though most of this. I don't even feel like complaining anymore. Just do something, anything else.
Any suggestions where maybe a more useful example might be?
Did some more reading again today, to the bottom of the Troubleshooting Guide. What a difference a day makes. For anyone else having a problem. This was my fix:
You MUST uncheck the Copy Projects into Workspace box when you import. I've pretty much ignored that field for 3 years. Then things work as they say they should. That is, you will still have to download the old JRE then tell it to Fix Project Setup if you are using an up to date JRE and set the OS target up higher if you didn't download all of the older ones. But it now compiles.
Hope this helps.
It's been a couple more frustrating days compiling but not working. The errors from the logcat looked like this:
06-05 16:22:23.954: V/IOIOImpl(17583): Waiting for underlying connection 06-05 16:22:23.954: I/IncomingState(17583): IOIO Connection established.

So it appears to me that the v40 stuff isn't going to work. I load up the v33 stuff. Now I have reached the point where it tells me it can't find the MainActivity class. I fool around with it and eventually it quits telling me now JNA 3.5. (more BS) will not run on my device. Jeesh!
I'm back to building my own. This has been the biggest time waster I've seen for a while. Even if it does work today, looks like it might quit tomorrow or the next day and require more time wasting.
Final call for suggestions before I throw this board in the trash can and move on.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a driver install issue. I have followed the guide and can get everything working (even on an emulator) but my computer can't recognize the IOIO driver file, so I can't do any input/output with the board. It shows up in device manager as IOIO but has a warning symbol over it, and when I go to the add hardware wizard it says the file cannot be found (when I point straight to it).
I'm using the IOIO OTG, Windows 7 x64 and version 4.1.2 Jellybean (emulator/phone). I've wasted a lot of hours trying to figure this out, and I've asked multiple people for help. Nothing seems to work! (doesn't work on Windows 8 x32 either)I would really appreciate if someone had a fix for this issue… please help!
I have the older IOIO (I don't know if this will make a difference) and the components are getting very hot, i am supply 9 volts at around an amp and everything is working fine. I know that it should get a little hot but what it is doing does not seem normal. Any idea what the problem is?
Check if you accidentally changed powerlines + and -.
Has anyone used Processing as the IDE instead of the Eclipse?
Yes…we've got something in the works.
I have a sony xperia neo and I wonder if this tutorial is applicable using my phone.
Do you still have a page of example projects? I guess you used to link to a blog post
Example Projects
but the link now takes you back to this same page, which doesn't have any example projects.
Sorry for the late reply on this, the links are fixed.
Can it works with my mediacom 736i tablet?
When USB Debugging Mode is active, the stat LED stays lit. When I run it normally, the Hello IOIO application runs as expected. HTC EVO 4G.
Your android might be running OpenAccessory protocol (which means you do not need to enable USB debugging). I think open accessory runs on android OS 3.1+.
Problem red exclamation points next to HelloIOIO,IOIOLib and IOIOLibBT
I have been following this tutorial and have run into a snag. I have JDK1.6.0_25 and jre6 and the Android SDKs installed. I downloaded App-IOIO0324 and have imported the project and libraries into Eclipse as instructed. I have both Eclipse 32 and 64 bit versions on my system.
I am running Windows 7 Pro 64bit OS. The tutorial explains how to associate the imported libraries with the HelloIOIO project but when I get to the >Properties for HelloIOIO>Android project build target window, I see the IOIOlib and IOIOLibBT libraries with green checks in the Library pane and IOIOLibAccessory with a red X. If I click add at this point I get a box titled "Project Selector" which has nothing available to select.
Window>Preferences>Java>Compiler is set to Compiler Compliance level 1.6 and use default compliance settings.
Android Manifest seems to be preset to the correct permissions in App-IOIO0324.
Eclipse complains: Unable to resolve target 'android-3'
I have made sure that my path statement is set to the correct bin directory for Java 6.
I had Java 7 installed but took it off of the system to troubleshoot this.
Okay, here's the solution to my problem:
I'm sure that there are other people who have very little experience with eclipse, java and android so hopefully this will get the problems resolved. When I imported the latest version of helloioio, eclipse automatically install references to associations to ioiolib, ioiolibbt and ioiolibAccessory. So the compiler starts complaining about the libraries being missing for all of the imported projects (the red exclamation points).
If you follow the above tutorial where it says to go to HelloIOIO>Properties>Android>Library you will already see the library projects which you have imported with green checkmarks next to them and if you click the add button there, will be no options to add any libraries. This is where I got stuck.
First go to the Problems pane and delete all of the errors and warnings. Eclipse finds all of these errors as you add the additional packages and doesn't clear them automatically once they are no longer valid. But if you look at the import statements in src>ioio.examples.hello>MainActivity.java there will be no errors after you have imported the libraries.
Next right click on HelloIOIO>Android Tools>Fix Project Properties.
Delete any more errors or warnings that might show up.
Reboot Eclipse.(Don't know why but the project didn't load correctly until I did this)
Now the code should boot the Android without any errors
Glad I can get on with it now.
One more thing. IOIO works with a Pandigital SuperNova tablet.
It's not SFE's fault really… Java is a joke and Android development poses a challenge with only one remedy - don't develop in Android!
It smells like trolls in here.
I've installed android4 javasdk7. This code can not import eclipse. Publish the new version. I'm not buying the product for the unused code.
You need to installed the JDK 6 and not JDK 7. On the developer.android.com site, under System Requirements, it has more information and links about installing JDK 6. :)
Got my IOIO board a few hours back .. ran the hello ioio apk .. the stat light glows .. so I guess we can say that the HTC Incredible S (Droid 2) works with the IOIO.
I've got a problem though : I used a cheap chinese cell phone charger to power on the board and then connected my cell phone to the board. My LCD touch response shuts down when this happens. Is this due to some grounding issue / harmonics because of the charger or something else ?
okay ive been trying to get this so work for hours now, and every time i import into eclipse i get the same error before i even do anything. which is that the IOIOlib project has no 'gen' folder. ive tried every single download and the same problem persists with each one. I see on the image in the tutorial that it is supposed to have a gen folder. any way of getting around this??? ANY help from anybody would be HUGELY appreciated! thanks
First download the v3.11 lib if you have recently purchased a board. Then import IOIOlib, then IOIOBT, then your project. After each import right click and make sure you have your JDK compiler settings set to 1.6.
Also, v3.6.2 of Eclipse seems to not have these issues.
ok thankyou, i am pretty new to ioio programming and electronics in general. I have a tamiya lunchbox RC car which i wish to control via the ioio. Ive got a servo with red, black & orange wires coming from it, an ESC which has a connection from the main car battery, green/blue wires coming from it to drive the motor, another connector with red/black wires, and another coming out of it with white/red and black wires (to take input from the reciever (which i do not have) and a switch.
What is the best way to link all of this up with the ioio without frying the shit out of it? ive got a separate 9v battery to power the ioio board. Any help would again be hugely appreciated as i am a bit of a n00b! :) cheers
EDIT: if anyone would be able to talk me through some of this over skype etc. I would be eternally grateful!!!
In terms of control, you will need to use one pin to control the servo signal line and one pin to control the ESC signal line. The protocol to use is PWM to control the motors. More info on how to use PWM can be found on the IOIO wiki. Hope that helps!
yeah i thought as much. how about the power lines on each component, can i wire them all to get power straight from the car battery? rather than take them all through the ioio.
I noticed the ioio was getting pretty hot when simply powered from the 9v to the VIN/gnd. Any better way of doing this?
Thanks for your help :)
You might want to post on our forum, you'll probably get lots of detailed design help there.
You should be fine powering the board with 9V on Vin. I am not sure of the specs of your components, but servos generally can be powered at 5V. Your ESC should be powered by the RC car's battery, the extra black and red wires are probably a power bus out of the ESC, and the white wire is probably the motor control line. Please don't quote me on this, I don't have your setup in front of me. Also, it is generally a good idea to have your motors and servos on a separate power system than your digital parts or at least make sure you decouple the power lines well with good caps.
who decided to design the charge potentiometer with a shitty plastic head? after two attempts at turning it the thread is completely destroyed, gotta fork out £40 for a new one now… ffs!!!! any way to fix this? bodge jobs welcome!
Sorry about that, those things are somewhat delicate.
You can short across the terminals and feed 5V directly into USBVCC (be sure to look at the schematic/eagle files or find the right pins with a DMM). Then your android will want to take a full charge though and will drain a small battery pretty fast.
Ah only just saw your last reply, thanks for your help again! i guess ill just have to wait till the new one arrives until i can test it out.
I have made it through all of the steps, but when I plug my phone into the IOIO it doesn't show as connected. It does show that it is charging, and adjusting the charge potentiometer doesn't seem to matter. Question: is there a way to see what version of the board that I have?
Guys I'd been trying to compile my project and I can't I keep getting this error Description Resource Location Path Type The container 'Library Projects' references non existing library '***\bin\ioiolib.jar' IOIOLibBT Build path Build Path Problem
And that happens aswell with HelloIOIO Project when I try to build it, thanks for the help
Right click on each one of you project files (including IOIOlib and IOIOBTlib) and goto Properties -> Java Compiler and make sure your JDK compliance level is set to 1.6. Then restart Eclipse.
Am an experienced Android and Java developer who has used eclipse for several years now, for two days I've been trying to get this work. Can you please update the tutorial with step by step photos of where exactly you download the files to? Thanks.
Sorry for the trouble. The tutorial has been update and I have added a troubleshooting section. Hope that helps!
I need help. After importing HelloIOIO and IOIOLib, instead of an x next to them, I have an exclamation point "Project has no default.properties file! Edit the project properties to set one." Then going into the properties>android, gives an error message "The currently displayed page contains invalid values" and does not show IOIOLib as a library to add. Thoughts? I'm probably missing something obvious
Sorry for the trouble. The tutorial has been update and I have added a troubleshooting section. Hope that helps!
You are probably missing one of the packages in the SDK Manager. Goto 'Window' -> 'Android SDK Manager' and make sure you have everything installed for you specific Android OS version.
i need some help.
I cant do it run om my system: - ubuntu 11.04 - eclipse (motodev studio for android) with SDK15 and JRE1.6
So many errors and a red exclamation at helloioio and ioiolib projects.
After many rebuilds, reinstall, i am lost.
Thank You for any help
Sorry for the trouble. The tutorial has been update and I have added a troubleshooting section. Hope that helps!
I've been trying to get the HelloIOIO and IOIOLib to build, and am stuck at an entry in the local.properties of the IOIOLib package.
The only non, comment line in that file is
which is of course not valid. Where does one change that?
BTW - I am using the 3.11 version of IOIOLib and examples.
Hi, followed all the steps but I'm having problems with the HelloIOIO example. Here is a screenshot of the problem http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/screenshotat20120107232.png/ What should I do?
this link http://codaset.com/ytai/ioio/wiki is dead, what is the updated site to access?
Yes, codaset is dead. The wiki can now be found on github, here.
I'm stuck at Step 2. in the 'Compiling, Loading, and Running the App on Your Android Device' section. When the 'choose device' screen comes up, my phone shows up as 'offline' so it won't let me choose it. I've tried rebooting my phone, rebooting my computer, turning off debugging mode on my phone, then turning it back on. Still offline. I've also tried running 'adb kill-server' then 'adb start-server', but this doesn't get my phone online either. :( Any ideas? Oh, I have a Motorola ATRIX 4G, Windows XP Pro (32-bit), and the latest version of Eclipse 'Classic'.
also working with: huawei ideos - u8150 - android 2.2 / level 8 - e.g. with App-IOIO0302/HelloIOIO.apk
Works on T-Mobile Huwaei Comet just fine. On errors not in the quickstart guide above just switch Java Build to "1.6" and SDK level to "8" in the Manifest.xml file.
I've been trying to link the IOIOLib to the HelloIOIO file in eclipse , but the download for the IOIOLib does not contain an res file(it does in these pictures). Does someone know how to get it or how to change that error?
I got the HelloIOIO working on my DroidX in no time, but the app locks up after the screen goes dark or if you switch to another app and then return. I must Force Close to get it going again.
I have updated some of the links in this tutorial to the page where you can find the most up-to-date IOIO library. You might try re-compiling your app with most recent revision of the library.
Brilliant tutorial, thanks so much. Just got myself a Samsung Galaxy S2 and planning on controlling a remote test rig from it using GSM over 500miles away. Should get interesting!
Is there any way to communicate with an Android device via the USB port without the user having to put it in developer mode?
AFAIK, Android 2.x may only make use of the USB port in accessory mode (that is, it may not act as a host). It also has no API in the de-facto SDK for manipulating USB communications. Android 3.1 introduced a USB host mode and USB communications, but AFAIK the Android 3.x releases have only been for use on tablets.
A backported package for Android 2.3.4 added the ability to manipulate USB communications with host devices other than adb. The IOIO board has a firmware update available to take advantage of this, and it eliminates the need to have the device in debug mode.
Relevant Links:
IOIO update: http://codaset.com/ytai/ioio/wiki/IOIO-Over-OpenAccessory-Beta
Google Open Accessory Development Kit: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/adk.html
(hopefully that was all correct XD )
Wow…30 min and I got it talking to my rooted HTC evo 4g…way coool. Not to make it do something usefull…
Will this device also work with Android tablets?
I just got the HelloIOIO app working on the Motorola Atrix!
Eclipse: I'm going to be working with Eclipse, not because I'm familiar with it – I can get around in it okay, but I'm no expert with it – but because that's what half the world is using for Java development nowadays. I see it as good experience.
Power supply: For prototyping, I'm okay with a wall wart for now, but I'll be checking out that battery power thread on Google once I get a project together.
If you can not resolve R.layout.main
instead of using:
import android.R;
import ioio.examples.hello.R;
shift + ctrl + o is also good
you could also remove R.java and project->rebuild
now it works well ;-)
I just followed up the tutorial and tried on a Sony Xperia X8 (Android 2.1) and I cannot get the sample app working. Tried the 2 connection modes with the phone ("charge" and "data"). The sample turnOn/turnOff would not work. Will try again this weekend. How are you guys debugging the communication? How do I know the phone is actually reaching the board?
-greetz, Gerard.
Just got this up and running on my WiFi-only Samsung galaxy tab. Hardly any trouble at all since I already had Eclipse set up to develop android apps.
However, the board would not connect to my HTC Droid Incredible. When I plug in the board to the DINC, it continuously tells me "USB Debugging" and the charge light goes on, then it goes off after 2 seconds and repeats until I unplug the board. Has anyone else got this running on their DINC?
All in all, I'm happy with the results because I really only need it for the Tab.
Thankyou for the tutorial!
Got this all up and running on an EVO 4G in a couple hours.
The example works as intended on the first run, but it always force quits on resume (for me)…Still have to figure out why…
Suggestion: in the section where we read:
"After you added the IOIOlib file into the workspace, on the top toolbar goto: Project > Properties. Then, select 'Android' in the list to the left. In the 'Library' section, click add, then add the IOIOlib library. You should see the IOIOlib with a green check mark as shown below."
Change the wording like so:
"After you added the IOIOlib file into the workspace, select the HelloIOIO project, then on the top toolbar goto: Project > Properties. Then, select 'Android' in the list to the left. In the 'Library' section, click add, then add the IOIOlib library. You should see the IOIOlib with a green check mark as shown below."
I made the mistake of assuming you meant to do this on the IOIOLib project, which had me scratching my head for a bit.
What battery power options are suitable for this? I tried using my LilyPad AAA battery source (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8466), which my voltage meter showed giving 5V, and while it got the red light on the IOIO going I got no reaction from my G2 phone. Twiddling the chg dial didn't help.
I don't want to be tied to an A/C outlet, but I don't know if the fault is with the power source I used or if there's something wrong in my set up.
EDIT: Some info on battery power here: https://groups.google.com/group/ioio-users/browse_thread/thread/f7e669151e6f4e99
Thanks for the tutorial. Are there any examples that do not require the use of Eclipse, examples that build an IOIO project from the command line? Every Android project in Eclipse gives "Mismatched VM version: JVM_GetThreadStateValues not found".
Suggestions on alternative approaches very welcome.
EDIT: Just learned that current versions of Eclipse allow for exporting Ant files for projects. This allowed me to build the code using ant instead of going through Eclipse. Very handy. File -> Export -> General -> Ant buildfiles
"In general, the holy grail for developing Andoird…"
Android, not Andoird…!
Cool tutorial though!

Actor-producer Akshay Kumar, who joined Bollywood in the early 1990s, feels the current young generation of stars is so talented that they don't need help from anyone in the film industry.
He was present at the trailer launch of his production "Fugly", which features fresh faces like Mohit Marwah and Kiara Advani.
When Akshay was asked about supporting the newcomers and providing a platform to them, he said: "I don't think today newcomers need our support. When we came in the industry as newcomers, we used to need the support but they don't need it, they are so fit, so good."
The 46-year-old is amazed at the immense amount of talent the youngsters have.
"They are mentally so balanced. I think, professionally they are much better than all of us," said the actor, who made his debut with the 1991 film "Saugandh".
"They are technology savy. They know what they want and what not. They don't need to be taught. They have immense knowledge. Hence, I don't think they need anybody's support," he added.
Akshay, known for action movies like "Khiladi" and "Mohra", also likes the work done by younger actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.
He feels they are "the next superstars".
"Among the newcomers, there is Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and others who are doing their best at their level. I think, in my eyes, they are the next superstars and they are superstars, actually," said the "Boss" star.
While, Ranbir carved a niche for himself with his performances in films like "Raajneeti", "Rockstar" and "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani", among others, Ranveer was lauded for his role in the 2013 release "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela".

Comparing the M23 and Spacewalk software distribution systems
Package Delivery
Keeping all the Linux clients in an enterprise environment up to date can be a major logistical challenge. Many harassed administrators appreciate a good software distribution system, especially if it is a free tool that doesn't stress the IT budget.
Two mouse clicks are all it takes to install the latest version of the latest spreadsheet tool on a number of computers, and the administrator doesn't even need to leave the desk. The efficiency and automation in this scenario is made possible by package distribution programs. All package distribution programs rely on a simple principle: A central server keeps and manages all the available software packages. A client can connect and download a package, or the server can push some packages onto selected clients as directed by the administrator. A good software distribution program can also uninstall clients and install client updates.

Finally, the secret of stock markets, revealed
Barry Ritholtz has the answer to the question that Nobelists, professors, economists and soothsayers have been asking for for 300 years. What drives the stock market?
Such is the result of giving two million primates lots of money and keyboards and a belief they can make a living based on numbers and letters moving around — on a screen, in a futures pit, on an exchange floor, or even under a buttonwood tree.

As Economy Continues Surge, Sailors' Dreams Turn to Yachts
By FRED MUSANTE
Published: September 5, 1999
LAST winter, when Ray Kish went looking for a new sailboat to replace the 25-foot Catalina he had sailed for 12 years in a Pennsylvania lake, he knew he wanted a bigger boat, but all he had intended to buy was a 30-footer.
But Mr. Kish didn't like the way the cabin of the 30-foot model was laid out, so instead, last April he and his wife, Bonnie, bought a Catalina 42, which he described as ''our summer home.''
The single-mast sloop, Marketeer, is 14 feet wide at the beam, and has a full galley, two bathrooms and three staterooms. It is packed with electronic gear, including radar, a depth finder, and an auto-pilot. Mr. and Mrs. Kish have spent every free hour this summer on board, sometimes just relaxing at the dock at Captain's Cove marina in Bridgeport or sailing off for a weekend or a week to to visit Block Island and Martha's Vineyard.
''At the age of 55, you only go around once,'' Mr. Kish explained. ''I know many people my age who never had the opportunity to live out their dream.''
This summer, more people are living out their dreams along the Connecticut shoreline than ever before. The repeal of a 10 percent luxury tax, low interest rates and a strong economy have combined to push boat sales to the boom levels of the mid-1980's.
Boats of every size and for every corner of the market have sold well, but for vessels large enough and sufficiently well appointed to be called yachts, the difference has been the most dramatic. Salesmen have reported shortages of both new and used boats at the top end of the market, those costing more than $100,000, and marinas are hard-pressed to find dock space for them.
These large vessels are as costly as a vacation house, and often more luxurious, so Mr. Kish's metaphor is no exaggeration. He purchased his boat second-hand and declined to say what it cost, but noted that a new Catalina 42 like his would cost around $200,000.
His neighbor at the end of the next dock, Michael Lenihan, wanted to live aboard his boat, and he wanted to live well. If Mr. Kish's sailboat is a vacation home, Mr. Lenihan's Carver 42 aft-cabin motor yacht, Wild Thing, is, he said, ''like a floating, very elaborate apartment in Manhattan.''
Mr. Lenihan's boat has two salons, two staterooms, a bridge, a full-sized refrigerator in the galley, and three-zone air conditioning and heating. He also declined to say what he paid for his boat, which was purchased second-hand, but noted that a new Carver 42 costs around a half-million dollars.
He is a pilot for United Airlines who flies Boeing 747's from New York to Tokyo and back, a job that keeps him busy only six to nine days a month.
The rest of the time he travels around the Sound, visiting the many harbors and often tying up in Newport, R.I., where a friend of his owns a restaurant.
''You can get more out of life living on a boat,'' he said, sounding very relaxed.
Dan Brewster, a retired engineer from Westport whose Monterey 33 express cruiser, Judy's Joy, is docked near Mr. Lenihan's boat.
''He just travel around and see what we can see,'' Mr. Brewster explained.
What they see along the shorelines and islands of Southern New England, New York and Long Island is considered by some boaters to be one of the most congenial places for shoreline cruising in the United States.
''We've got some of the best cruising areas in the country,'' said Grant Westerson, executive director of the Connecticut Marine Trades Association. ''You can touch three states in an afternoon if you plan your trip carefully.''
Although he said he had no statistics and the Department of Environmental Protection couldn't furnish any, either, Mr. Westerson said boat sales have been climbing steadily for three years. ''We've probably seen, over the last three years, a 60 percent increase,'' he said.
One of the chief reasons is Congress's repeal in 1993 of a 10 percent luxury tax on boats costing more than $100,000 that had stalled the luxury boat business severely after it was passed in the late-1980's.
Combined with the recession that occurred then, the tax drove many boat manufacturers out of business.
With few boats being built and even fewer being sold earlier in the decade, there is now a shortage of fairly new, large second-hand sailboats and powerboats for sale.
''Five- or six-year-old boats are like hen's teeth,'' said Mr. Westerson. ''You can't find any. Boat brokers are having as much trouble getting boats to sell as new boat dealers are.''
Jeff Marshall, owner of Sailing Specialties in Groton, which sells new and used sailboats, said every size boat, from nine-foot boats to 60-foot luxury yachts, sell almost immediately if they are in good condition. He said the boom was related mostly to the good economy.
''People are confident in the economy, interest rates are low and people are more willing to spend on a luxury,'' he said.
For someone to buy a boat, Mr. Kish said banks will loan the purchase price at 7.5 percent interest with no money down. He said the Federal Government also allows the owner to write off the interest payments just like mortgage interest, and Connecticut charges no property tax on them.

Former Washington Husky Justin Dentmon is dominating the NBA's Developmental League right now. In 34 games, the point guard is averaging just over 19 points, 4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game for the Texas Legends, the Dallas Mavericks' B-team based in the bustling metropolis of Frisco, Texas. The gaudy stat-line is reminiscent of another former UW distributor, Will Conroy, who was arguably the greatest D-League player ever (a dubious distinction if ever there was one), but could never quite catch a break in the big league. The news of another local hoopster making good got us wondering: If Frisco, Texas, has a D-League team, why the hell doesn't Seattle?
Image source
Sure, we could wait for NBA commissioner David Stern to kill off the New Orleans Hornets and hope he finds an owner willing to revive the Sonics in Seattle. But in the meantime, KeyArena is just begging for a men's pro team to play there. (Stern did recently tell ESPN's Bill Simmons that, though he "regrets" the way the Sonics left, Seattle won't get a replacement franchise until it builds a new arena.)
Remarkably, Seattle isn't even on the radar for a D-League expansion team. According to Wikipedia, Los Angeles is on deck, with Hamilton, Ontario, next in line for a Toronto Raptors affiliate. Other proposed locations range from unlikely (Honolulu) to depressing (St. George, Utah) to more depressing (Wenatchee, the only Washington location listed).
That's a shame.
Imagine the team--let's call them the Seattle Sharrows, since all D-League franchises have wacky names--of busts and not-quite-good-enoughs that could be cobbled together from local schools and teams. Here's the starting five:
C- Josh Heytvelt (disgraced Gonzaga star, now playing in Croatia.)
F- Charles Garcia (Seattle U star left early for the draft, last spotted playing pro in Mexico.)
F- Bobby Jones (UW defensive ace, playing in Italy.)
G- Conroy (left the D-League to play--and get paid--in Turkey.)
G- Dentmon
And the bench:
C- Robert Swift (epic Sonics bust, now playing in Tokyo.)
F - CJ Giles (Kansas/Oregon State head case, played last season in Lebanon.)
F - Erroll Knight (UW-to-Gonzaga transfer, also MIA.)
F- Doug Wrenn (Bob Bender recruit would play on work release from prison.)
G - Kyle Weaver (WSU standout who had a cup of coffee with the Zombie Sonics in Oklahoma City, but currently out of basketball so far as we can tell.)
G- Derek Raivio (Gonzaga, now playing for Erie BayHawks of the D-League.)
Let's throw in former UW sharpshooter Ryan Appleby as a player/coach, to be assisted by shoot-first UW forward Jamaal Williams (now an assistant for the Huskies) and Dan Dickau (another caucasian Gonzaga guard, now offering private coaching lessons).
Is there any way that team doesn't draw at least 6,000 fans a night to KeyArena?

An off-duty corrections officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries when he was struck by a vehicle as he was running after a North Vernon man who was wanted by police.
The officer, whose name was not released, was taken to St. Vincent Jennings Hospital.
The officer was fueling his vehicle at a gas station next to the Jennings County Jail about 5:25 p.m. Wednesday when he and a colleague noticed a man they knew was wanted on charges of failure to appear for a recent court hearing.
As the officers approached the man, Ryan Shelley, 27, of North Vernon, Shelley ran across State Street, according to Jennings County Sheriff's Department.
The officer was struck as he tried to cross State Street.
Other officers who arrived on the scene arrested Shelley and took him to Jennings County Jail. Police said more charges could be filed.
The vehicle that struck the officer failed to stop. Police asked that anyone with information about the incident call North Vernon Police Department at 346-1466. No vehicle description was available.

I've been programming for about 5 months now. I started with C++ then C and finally Java. In this time I have never used the debugging feature on my compilers, nor do I know what it does. In class I have been taught nothing about the debugger so far (Altho class is barely starting in C, I learned C++ and Java on my own). What is debugging, what does it do and do you use it often? What are the uses for debugging? I've googled debugging, but I couldn't quite understand. Can anyone explain the debugging feature properly? From what I understand so far, it's a feature to help you find bugs, but I don't quite get how it works.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Debugging itself is the process of finding and exterminating bugs, nothing more and nothing less. So unless you're a perfect programmer who never makes any mistakes, you've done it.
A debugger, on the other hand, is a tool which assists in debugging. You can still debug without a debugger, but using a debugger gives you more options, and ways to go about it.
Without you mentioning specifically which debugger you're talking about (Visual Studio one, or gdb, or...) we can't really tell you how to use it, but, in a nutshell:
A debugger will let you execute the code one instruction at a time, or one line at a time. It will let you run your code until a place you're interested in, then stop. While the code is stopped, you can inspect the values of the variables to make sure things are in order, and in some cases even modify things on the run to test various scenarios.
Some of the techniques of debugging without using a debugger are:
and many more.
Debugging allows you to examine the values of variables at each step of your code's execution. It is a good way to find stupid mistakes (among others). For example, you might not catch this off-by-one error:
If you step through your code with the debugger, you'll see that the method is called 11 times.
If you write programs that always work first time, you will never need to find bugs.
If the program compiles, but doesn't work, how do you work out what's going wrong?
Adding lots of print statements works, but being able to step into functions, step through them and examine memory stores is really helpful.
One could say debugging is like violence - the last refuge of the incompentent!
But sometimes, we don't quite have the competence to avoid the bug, and a debugger makes life SOOOOOO much nicer.
Debugging is the process of finding the code that is not doing what you want it to do. It is a very necessary skill in order to be efficient in getting work done. It can consist of many things. Including but not limited to:
The debugger can be used for more than just locating bugs in your program. It can aid you in understanding how existing code operates. You can set breakpoints in your code: a marker to tell the debugger to stop executing on that line. Then from that point you can begin stepping through your source code line by line.
In order to get a better feel for using the debugger, I recommend that you set a breakpoint in your code and step through it. You will then see exactly what I and others have said. What ever development environment you use should have instructions on how to use the included debugger.

First Pender resident dies of flu this season
Published: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 4:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 4:56 p.m.
Pender County | A 49-year-old Pender County resident last Friday became the county's first resident to die of complications from influenza during the 2013-14 flu season, according to a release from the Pender County Health Department.
The 49-year-old, whose hometown and sex were not released, had not received a flu vaccine for the 2013-2014 season.
"It is still not too late for people to get their flu shots," according to the release, which also said people should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their faces.
Those who die from the flu are usually from 25 to 65 years old, and most victims are from 25 to 49 years old, according to the release.

I'm new to UpdraftPlus. I'm receiving the error message below:
You have old directories from a previous backup (technical information: these are found in wp-content, and suffixed with -old). Use this button to delete them (if you have verified that the restoration worked).
I configured the plugin to use
wp-content/updraft_backups as the backup directory. When I click the
Delete Old Directories button and complete the steps, I still receive the error message. I confirmed that the original
wp-content/updraft directory was deleted from the web server.
Any ideas on how I can suppress the error?

Most of managing games are about city building: the most you build, the better. Bulldozer Inc. is just the opposite: the more buildings you destroy, the higher score you get. A contest of mass destruction.
Gameplay is quite easy to understand: you're steering a bulldozer on a ring full of buildings and items to destroy. The goal is wrecked as many as you can in a given time. In fact, beating your opponent score. There are different characters to choose among, each one with specific boosters. After each battle you get in-app cash that you'll need to upgrade your bulldozer. Buy special items that will boost your final score. There's no way to beat all the opponents without upgrading your bulldozer.
There are two different game modes: "Tournament" in which players have to defeat 5 opponents in a row to get a big reward and "Versus", which is a quick 1vsCPU game. The latter is great for training. There are up to 12 different weapons.
Graphics are simple and reminds classic beat'em ups. It should be enhanced regarding effects and animations. However, the game is highly playable thanks to its upgrading system and intuitive controls: just drag where you want the bulldozer to go. Only two catches: ads are annoying in this version (they pop-up constantly) and we're missing online leaderboards where to submit records.

There must be a number of Gamers that are in the same quandary.
Also the Question arises Can you partition the 768 SSD drive option with Bootcamp 4.0 and Windows 7 or 8??

Putt-Putt is great for kidsmahon | May 27, 2015 | See all mahon's reviews »
I already pointed out elsewhere that currently there are not as many good and interesting games for kids as it used to be more than a decade ago. The Putt-Putt series was among the best examples how kids' games should be made. They were very low on violence, pretty friendly, with sweet visuals and easy gameplay. This game is not any different - it's just another Putt-Putt game, which would probably be one of mobile games nowadays, but back in the days it was a good video game for younger kids, one that you could safely allow your kid to play, while being too simple for experienced adult gamers. But aren't such games necessary anymore?

My DD is 6 and in Kindergarten. I have a 2 year old and I am expecting a new little on next month. Between the holidays, baby prep, and lack of energy we have hardly done any schooling in the last 2 months. Even before that it is hard to make sure that we get time carved out to do school. I feel like a total failure. She doesnt read but does have sight words and is something we are working on. I dont know how to encourage her to work on her handwriting. She likes to write things but wont focus on practicin doing it correctly. She enjoys addition and subtraction.
With this new little one arriving in such a short time I am afraid that our schooling will become even more relaxed. Im not exactly sure what to do.
I wish I knew how moms with several little ones in the home keep to it.
I struggle with wanting to put her in public school because she is so intelligent and Im afraid Im not challenging her enough (i know im not) and I dont want her to fall "behind". At the same time, I cannot imagine packing her up each morning and sending her off to school. It breaks my heart and makes my stomach turn. I want her home with me.
I dont necessarily know if im even seekin advice from you ladies, just "verbalizing" that all of this is hard right now and I just dont know how to get a handle on it. I dont want to wake up one day and regret keeping her home but I also dont want to regret sending her to school.

Archived Story
Celebrating the FourthPublished 10:07pm Monday, July 2, 2012
This summer has really flown by for me. I just can't believe this is Fourth of July week. I have some very vivid memories of this holiday due to my Daddy.
My earliest memories of the Fourth of July are going with Daddy to buy fireworks. There was only one stand we ever went to because Daddy was a friend of the man who owned it. Daddy and I would go behind the counter where they stored boxes and boxes of fireworks. The man would give us a large (and I mean large, 3 feet by 3 feet or bigger) box. Daddy would start picking out fireworks not one at a time, but boxes at a time. I don't think we ever had one of anything, except the "Grand Finale." The Grand Finale was the biggest firework he could find.
We lived on a farm with plenty of open space for shooting off all those fireworks. Any aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents that could come did. The festivities usually started mid-morning with my Mom beginning to prepare a large meal.
Daddy, of course, would barbecue on the grill. Mom always made her famous potato salad along with fresh corn on the cob, ripe tomatoes, tomato and macaroni salad and many other dishes. After our late lunch, Daddy would let us kids get out the fireworks that made noise and blew up, but they weren't pretty.
Looking back, I can't imagine how we were lucky enough that none of us got hurt! If Daddy had seen us lighting a firecracker in our hand and trying to time throwing it so it would explode in mid-air, he would have busted our tails!
Anyway, by the time night began to fall everyone was ready to get down to the business of lighting the "real fireworks." Daddy would usually set up three stations with boards and bottles to light fireworks. The big box of fireworks would stay safely back so as not to get any accidental sparks or a stray bottle rocket in it.
Except for one time. It happened when I was about 4 or 5 years old and I actually remember it! My Mom was holding a lighted match in her hand and got bumped. She dropped the match into the large box with all the fireworks that happened to be sitting right behind her Pontiac. Well, before she could fish it out, it lit a package of firecrackers. You can probably imagine the rest of the story. I remember Daddy grabbing me and telling Mom and the rest of the family to run. I vividly remember Daddy hiding us behind someone's pickup truck while bottle rockets, firecrackers, roman candles, fountains and everything else went off every which way while I cried that, "Mommy blew up all my fireworks!!" Mom's car suffered a few little marks due to that one. She was just lucky that she still had a car left at all!
Daddy ended up heading back to town (10 miles away) to buy some more fireworks and you know, now that I think about it, I don't remember Mom having much to do with fireworks from then on. She left that to Daddy – imagine that!
Mom found other ways to contribute to our celebration. She enjoyed watching the fireworks displays we put on and she made sure we had plenty of bug repellent, as well as homemade ice cream after the "Grand Finale."
So what have I learned from these experiences and others? One, don't ever let children out of your sight with fireworks. Two, don't use matches around fireworks – especially large boxes thereof. Three, make sure you do something special with your kids so when they're grown they will have memories to cherish. Lastly, don't forget to remind your kids of the important history behind the Fourth of July and of the servicemen and women who still defend our freedoms every day.

Rapid Afghanistan Experience Project: Contemporary Lessons Learned
March 24, 2011
Rapid Afghanistan Experience Project: Contemporary Lessons Learned
What is it'
In full collaboration with other Army operational readiness stakeholders, U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) leads the Rapid Afghanistan Experience Project (RAEP) consolidating the knowledge, skills, lessons learned, and the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) currently employed in the Afghanistan area of responsibility to rapidly improve continental U.S. (CONUS)-based pre-deployment training and better prepare Soldiers for combat in the Afghanistan theater.
What has the Army done'
The RCE conducted a roundtable in September with senior leaders from TRADOC, the Combat Training Centers (CTCs), the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO), U.S. Central Command, operational forces, U.S. Forces, Afghanistan, and former Brigade Combat Team and Battalion Commanders and Command Sergeants Major to collect initial feedback from both the training and institutional communities. FORSCOM created the Rapid Afghanistan Experience Project, and continues to mature and refine the processes associated with collecting and disseminating Afghanistan-centric information across the force. This collaboration includes a classified website for tools, TTPs, links to other websites and portals, lessons learned and timely topics of interest. Access to the portal is open to the entire force on both NIPRNET and SIPRNET. The project already enabled two immediate improvements:
Aca,!Ac An Afghanistan-focused professional reading list
Aca,!Ac A link to the Joint Training Counter-IED Operations Integration Center (JTCOIC), an invaluable storehouse of information operated by TRADOC
What does the Army have planned for the future'
Open discussion of lessons learned while training for and conducting operations in Afghanistan will provide areas for potential improvement. For example, a change to Pre-Deployment Site Survey rules authorizing multiple visits to Afghanistan would greater time for units to build understanding of the specific region in which they will operate. As more content is collected and shared across the force, the Rapid Experience website will link with similar collaborative sources-- such as The Center for Army Lessons Learned and the Warfighter's Forums (WfF). The combined results will drive continuous improvements in the way pre-deployment training is conducted at home station and the Combat Training Centers to provide a more regionally focused training experience.
Why is this important to the Army'
The Army is a continuous-learning organization improving itself through experience and training. Sharing our collective information, training, and experience is the key and the RAEP will be a premier way to accomplish this goal for our Soldiers and leaders.

Art Cashin On Unadjusted Payroll Seasonal Adjustments
We (and Charles Biderman) have previously discussed the seasonal adjustments to NFP data, which while potentially credible in a releveraging context, is far less meaningful when used on apples to apples basis for months in which there is material wholesale deleveraging and record warm weather. Yet the rub lies precisely in the seasonal adjustment, which for January and February has "added" nearly 4 million jobs based on nothing but historical regression patterns, and the "beats" represented less than 5% of the total addition, implying even a modest miscalculcation would have had a huge impact on market, and political, interpretation of the data (as explained here). Today, it is the turn of Art Cashin, quoting Lakshman Achuthan, to provide his take on "unadjusted seasonal adjustments."
From UBS Financial Services:
Seasonal Adjustment Is Unadjusted? - Lakshman Achuthan, co-founder of ECRI was interviewed yet again by Bloomberg's Tom Keene. Achuthan is almost in campaign mode as he pounds the table reiterating the ECRI posture that we're headed back into a recession.
His tone seems to indicate his frustration with what he sees as clearly misleading data. Here's a bit from the new interview:
Most economic data is seasonally adjusted. This is a good thing because there are seasonal patterns during the course of the year. But the sheer size of the recession we went through had an unintended impact on the way those algorithms run. When the economy fell off a cliff in the Great Recession it was like no other recession we have experienced, so it wasn't easily compared. The systems received data in Q4 and Q1 expecting it to be particularly weak on a seasonal basis. Therefore, they adjusted upwards and that was not intended. There is an easy, un-confusing, fifth-graders-can-do-it, way around this, which is to look at the year-over-year growth rate which shows something quite ominous. When we look at our forward-looking indicators both sets surged initially coming out of the recession. Then they rolled over. They popped up briefly again about a year ago and now they have turned down again. The Weekly Leading Indicator is now at its worst readings since July 2009. These leading indicators have hardly been swayed from their recessionary trajectory. So it brings the bigger question, can unprecedented global monetary policy repeal the business cycle? And these pictures say no.
That re-sparked curiosity about last week's citation of the King Report's assertion that without seasonal adjustment, payrolls have actually fallen 1.8 million jobs. We're still trying to run down that stunner.
Just don't tell Ben about the bolded, underlined bit above. It would make him sad that he can't single handedly control the worlds of finance, economics, and statistical mean reversion.

'It would make him sad that he can't single handedly control the worlds of finance, economics, and statistical mean reversion.'
Lucky for Ben that these aren't covered by CNBC etc.
The coverage will just change to the "awesomeness" of the "jobless recovery" which as we all know has been the standard type of recovery since 1971.
$5 gas average IS reality.
this disaster started way before obama.
Yes, but he doubled down and decided to accelerate us into that ditch he keeps carping about.....
Worse still, didn't he go on and on about "change we can believe in"? Maybe he was refering to the pocket change that will be all we will be left with before he is done.
Never forget that Big Ben is where he is only because Obama allows it. The buck stops with the president! If you don't like it, vote for Ron Paul. The people are not voting for him, so do the math.
crawldaddy - the disaster actually started, in terms of fundamentals, with the recognition and empowering of our 3rd fractional reserve bank in 1913 (Federal Reserve Act of 1913; it was actually a fait acompli in 1910, but that's neither here nor there), and the magnitude of the cancer and its spread was only hidden from sight by WWII and the great aftermath, whereby the U.S. was the factory of the world AND had assumed the world reserve currency mantle, given the bombed out infrastructure of former European centers of commerce, shipping, rail and manufacturing (whereas ours was unscathed).
The disaster was hastened by Bretton Woods, the Plaza Accord, closing of the gold standard in 1971*, etc.
Now that the globe is run by a very select list of insiders who control global monetary policy via coordinated fractional reserve central banks, and now that representative form of government via direct or indirect democracy is de facto dead (Deep Capture controls the system; 'voters' are inconsequential), American insiders have far more allegiance and commonality with Chinese or Indian or German Insiders, than any of these insiders do with anyone who shares their own citizenry. The notion that the insiders and appointed leaders have any allegiance to their own nation-state is truly and absolutely naive.
On August 15, 1971, the United States unilaterally terminated convertibility of the dollar to gold. As a result, "[t]he Bretton Woods system officially ended and the dollar became fully fiat currency, backed by nothing but the promise of the federal government." This action, referred to as the Nixon shock, created the situation in which the United States dollar became the sole backing of currencies and a reserve currency for the member states. At the same time, many fixed currencies also became free floating.
Hell, I'd even go to $6.
You can avoid reality,but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality-Ayn Rand
I have never understood why journalists/so-called experts accept seasonal adjustments when reporting employment data. The stated reason (I guess) for SA is so they can compare data month-to-month, but a more honest and straightforward way to present the data is to compare the current month to the same month last year. If they did that, no seasonal adjustments would be necessary and we could compare, real, raw data. But, I know, I shouldn't be so silly and altruistic so early Monday morning.
Hah and all you a holes downvoted me for suggesting the same thing Achuthan did.
Gas price aint scared. Bend over at the pump, insert nozzle.
Seriously, could someone confirm CBOE VIX futures for me this morning. After going out at 16.12 on Fiday, they are currently trading at 21.18 and supposedly down 1.8 percent [thus pressuring VIX trading instruments]. Something is truly broken here...just trying to figure out what.
If Liesman and Cramer find this out about Bernanke, no more blowjobs for Bennie. Oh, never mind Cramer still would
they dont care, they are about pushing the lie that everything is god so they can sell ad time.
ALL MEDIA cares about is selling ad time, thats the ONLY reason they exist. The commerical IS the product, all the rest is just filler.
That's why this blog model is so effective and democratic. ZH is beholding to no one, only the truth. As long as there are eyes reading it the servers will assign adds to it. Works for me.
No worries, look at the 10Y, its signaling the all clear...LOL! I'm sure the rising rates will help the housing situation.
Here is Lakshman Achuthan's response to Henry Blodgett's assertion that ECRI's should state "We Were Wrong" about the recession they predicted on 09/2011
Most data, both public and private, are seasonally adjusted. But the nature of the Great Recession seems to have had an unexpected impact on the statistical seasonal adjustment algorithms that are hard-wired to detect when the seasonal patterns evolve and change over the years. This is normally a good thing, but when the economy fell off a cliff in Q4/2008 and Q1/2009, it was partly interpreted by these procedures as a lasting change in seasonal patterns. So, according to these programs, data from Q4 and Q1 would be expected thereafter to be relatively weak, and therefore automatically adjusted upwards. Our due diligence on this subject indicates a widespread problem, resulting in many recent economic headlines being skewed to the upside.
The reality that most of us see cannot be so easily swept away by hopium statistics; the obfuscation is almost too transparent. Coincidentally, the ramp towards totalitarian control is quite alarming. The recent EO that allows the President to confiscate all national resources is fast on the heels of NDAA. WHY ARE THEY MOVING SO FAST? Something wicked this way comes.
Here's an easier way to see through the fraud of the BLS.
It's widely assumed that 10,000 baby boomers are retiring every day. Even if it's only 7500 - and we'll use that as our baseline - that amounts to 225,000 job vacancies a month.
Now, it would appear that if we're just barely creating 225,000 net new jobs, then we're just replacing the retirees, not actually creating new jobs. If less than that, we're going backwards.
OK, so the BLS will say that, yes, 225,000 retirees are, in real terms, job losses, but those have been replaced, plus whatever we determine to be the new jobs (or new hires), which, in reality, would mean we replaced all those retiring workers' jobs with new hires (at lower wages, no doubt) AND created whatever our number is in new jobs, so really, yes, a lot of people left the work force via retirement (that explains the declining labor participation rate), but those jobs and more have been created. Seasonally-adjusted, of course.
Seems simple enough. Back-of-the-envelope economics 101, though I get the distinct feeling they're not telling us everything.
Don't forget the 125,000-150,000 people that come in to the workforce each month due to population growth.
Retirement does NOT explain the declining LFPR. The labor force is ages 16-65. The 55-65 set is being pushed, largely unwillingly, out of the labor market, into early retirement. Retires above 65 aren't counted.
And then there are the 20-somethings and early-30-somethings being left behind as well. Much the labor force growth, relative to population, of the last 35+ years is being dismantled by high-efficiency corporate practices, technology, and deleveraging.
Go to the BLS site and look up "nonseasonally adjusted" numbers for "employed"
Feb 2009 +/- 141,000,000
Feb 2012 +/- 141,000,000
We're back in bubble territory. It's about time for a reality check!
Rather than seasonally adjusting things, we should be doing what they do in Europe and use moving (smoothed) averages, as Achuthan says, for everything: inflation (or prices), jobs, income, etc.
