Thanks for your help--I was able to take your instructable and morph it to do what I needed. I was very excited to discover this :)

Looked forward to trying this... went through all the steps. Then realized that I accidentally bought a WEMO D1 mini LITE. I'll go ahead and get the D1 mini, but do you know if the LITE version can be used in the same way? I'm guessing it uses different drivers at least, since it wasn't recognized by the arduino IDE. I'm bummed. Now I have to wait to try again.

I thought of another thing I want to do with this. Here is an older post of mine that after looking at this project, I hope I can upgrade my project ...https://www.instructables.com/id/Voice-Activated-R...

This is exactly what I want to do, but with a solenoid. It seems pretty easy. I just wish your Step 7 "After programming with the code" was expanded :). You have several .cpp files included. How do you get these on the wemo? Is it possible to just copy/paste the routines in these files directly in the .ino? In my limited experience, I've only programmed through the *.ino file.

Thanks.... I am too :)

Thank you !

Arrgghh -- I'm following along your very easy to follow instructable. I'm using windows, though. You say that windows will have no problem recognizing it when I plug it in. Maybe that's true -- but in Windows 10, even though it recognizes it, it gives a driver error. Apparently prolific-usb-to-serial-comm-port-windows is not supported in Windows 10. Supposedly you can try to load an older driver to get it to work, but I haven't had success with that yet.

This is great, I like how it's low to the ground so you can be near the water -- I wish I could add an engine/joystick so my son could use it independently. I've posted some ideas, too, for building adaptive equipment with PVC. Do a search on Accessible Scooter with Putt-Putt Attachment.
