The custom plugin was built for a duel intel mac, not a PowerPC. But the code is pretty basic and can be rewritten or modified for older processors, so it can be done with a g3. Let me know if you go for it. -Marque Hi Kevin-

Both Skype plugins are communicating with each other but I am getting no response from the motors. I am trying to track down where the communication is getting lost. I am afraid there might be a problem with the cron. How can I test if it is working. I am also getting this error in my console from the SkypeAPITest. "Can't send Skype command: aCommandString ==nil" Any suggestions? Hey guys,

I have been trying to build my own but I am having trouble with the Make Controller.

Both Skype plugins are communicating with each other but I am getting no response from the motors. I am trying to track down where the communication is getting lost. I am afraid there might be a problem with the cron. How can I test if it is working. I am also getting this error in my console from the SkypeAPITest.

“Can’t send Skype command: aCommandString ==nil”

Any suggestions?
