r0ket

• receive a missile launcher after a security deposit of 20 Euros. You get those 20 EUR back, they are just a deposit!
• Missiles are avaible at an additional security deposit of 2 Euros each.
• you will get that back when returning the launcher, even if you took it apart - just do something with the launcher :)
• Mod it all the way you want, be creative and do a cool hack with the launcher and r0ket.
• The launchers are not all working perfectly, you will receive the results of our first tests with your launcher
• If you are one of the first 100 people to publish a hack, you can keep the launcher and still get your 20 Euro back
• We'll think of something special for hacks that can surprise us ;)

• You can download software for various operating systems here (windows only due to broken webpage?)
• Software for Mac OS X can be found here: dmg, source
• Even more software is avaible if you do a websearch for “usb missile launcher”
• Official documentation is avaible at DreamCheeky
• It seems like there are some differnces in the communication protocol for each launcher-generation. If find out more, please leave some information here.

C example using hidapi: https://gist.github.com/1535026

• We will offer you a choice of two types/three colors
• The green and blue are connected via USB
• The silver ones feature a wireless/infrared connection
  • You'll need 4 AA-Batteries to run those
  • Please do not dissassemble those completly. We only have a few of these.
• We do not have enough missiles, so we can usually only provide you with one at a time. Hack your own ammunition!
• We can provide you with a webcam for your launcher. But please think twice, what you want to do with it and who you film!

The launch0r.py script allows you to control a USB r0ketlaunch0r from your r0ket wirelessly using rem0te One r0ket acts as a Bridge, to with other r0kets can connect using the rem0te l0dable.

1. Install the game server libarys as described above
2. Install hidapi bindings https://github.com/rene-dev/cython-hidapi/
3. Flash the bridge firmware to your r0ket
4. Edit the device in https://github.com/rene-dev/r0ket/blob/master/tools/game/launch0r.py

This small program examines your DVB-T TV signal strength (V4L DVB-Stack) and rotates the r0ketlauncher with an attached DVB-antenna to achieve the best aligment of the antenna.

1. Install dvbsnoop and libusb
2. compile the source: tvr0tator.c with gcc -o tvr0tator tvr0tator.c -lusb
3. start your favourite DVB Viewer (like mplayer)
4. run ./tvr0tator
5. have fun watching tv (or c3 streams) with best signal-strength!

• Troubleshooting: usbhid kernel module could claim exclusive right of the r0ketlauncher, so rmmod usbhid or use libhid-detach-device 07ca:a815 available in the libhid package
