Car Old Version Download - Robot
What struck Alex wasn’t the primitive code—it was the comments. The original developer had written notes like “TODO: fix lane detection before demo day” and “This hack saved our pitch to investors.” One file, brain_v0.8.py , ended with: “If you’re reading this in the future, sorry for the mess. But hey, it worked once.”
And Alex? He kept the original USB drive on his desk, labeled now: “Old version – still works. Sometimes.” robot car old version download
The story spread. A university used it for a “history of autonomous systems” class. A YouTuber made a viral video titled “Can a 2012 Robot Car Beat a Tesla?” (It couldn’t. It ran into a wall. But it tried valiantly.) What struck Alex wasn’t the primitive code—it was
He uploaded the original archive to Internet Archive under “AutoTinker Robot Car Old Version (2012)”. Within a month, dozens of retro-robotics fans downloaded it. Some built exact replicas. Others laughed at the 0.1 fps object detection. But all of them learned one thing: even an old version of a robot car can teach you more about real engineering than a shiny new simulator ever will. He kept the original USB drive on his
In the mid-2010s, a hobbyist named Alex stumbled upon an old USB drive at a garage sale. The label read: “Robot Car SDK v0.9 – Do not erase.” Curious, he plugged it in at home. Inside was a complete software package for a “robot car” – a rudimentary autonomous vehicle kit sold by a now-defunct startup called AutoTinker. The folder contained a Python 2.7 controller, a GUI made with Tkinter, and a neural network test script that barely ran on a single-core processor.
Alex decided to build the car. He found a broken toy RC car, strapped an Arduino Uno, a webcam, and a motor driver onto it, then installed the old software on a Windows 7 laptop. The download included a PDF manual dated 2012: “To start the car, run python car_old.py --port COM3 .” When he did, a green wireframe grid appeared on screen. The car twitched, then rolled forward, avoiding a shoebox using a single infrared sensor.

Thank you !! you my hero !
Dtavare
Sweeeeeeeet….
Thanks for the php_http.dll x64 extension…
david
Thank you!!
It is awesome!
The only thing I am missing is the php_zip. Did you already try to compile it?
Anindya Author
@cvat, @Dtavare and @david
You’re welcome. 😀
@david
The php_zip extension is present as a static extension which is why there is no php_zip.dll file. Check your phpinfo().
david
Thanks!
I just upgraded from php5.2. Didn’t know it was static! Great!

Anindya, thank you!
btw, is this a bug: enabling APC extension leads to many errors such as “Notice: Unknown: 1. h->opened_path=[null] …” in every php file, and gives warnings and notices with every include and require? The only bug report fitting the description is here: http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17141
Everything works fine with ‘apc.cache_by_default = 0’ though..

also, check this out: http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19836
disabling memprotect may resolve the issue
Anindya Author
Ah, memprotect was probably enabled by the “–enable-snapshot-build” flag. Will compile it again without memprotect. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
Anindya Author
Here is the php_apc.dll without memprotect. Try it.
forque
All errors are gone now, thanks a lot!
kos
hi, I tried to download this. but link was not working. can you upload the sf again.
Anindya Author
@kos
Sorry for the late reply. By the time I saw your comment the links were working again. I hope you were able to download by now. 🙂
mrSwede
Thanks so much for both PHP and Apache, running both of your builds here.
Anyone else have problems enabling the GetText extension, for me PHP stops working ?
Daniel
Hi, thanks for a great release.
I use curl a lot. After enable the php_curl.dll extension php/apache wont start, complaining about php_curl.dll isn’t “a vaild Win32-program”
Any idea about this?
Daniel
sorry for my reply, should have searched more…
here’s how to fix curl:
1. Curl depends on ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll they’re in the php folder.
2. Be sure those files are accesible in a folder of the path.
Anindya Author
@mrSwede
I can enable gettext extension without any problems. So not sure why you are having trouble enabling it.
@Daniel
You can also just add the php folder to the Path environment variable.
Francesco
Hi all, and thanx for your job.
btw, i cannot run php5.3.4×64 with YOUR Apache 2.2.17×64:
commenting out lines for php in httpd.conf (LoadModule… AddType… PHPIniDir) apache works… when i try to “run” it with php534 apache do not start.
Windows Events Log says:

this error occurs with every your php5.3×64 version…. with ver. 5.2.6×64 it works well..
(“C:\php” is in system path variable correctly)
Any idea to solve this? Thank you in advance..

What extensions have you enabled in your php.ini file? Please post both your httpd.conf file and your php.ini file if possible. Also, you have not mentioned the version of Windows that you are using.

Thank you.
Who have PHP 5.3 vc6 x64 for Apache?
ADT
Hi!
@Francesco
Maybe Apache is using the old php5ts.dll somehow! Possibly there is another version of the file in a “higher” place reguarding the order of your %PATH%-variable (Maybe in your Windows/system32-folder)
@Anindya
PHP 5.3.5 and OpenSSL 1.0.0c (Apache) are available
Anindya Author
@sink
I don’t think it’s possible to compile 64 bit PHP binaries with VC6 since it does not have 64 bit compiler. Why do you want VC6 binaries anyway? Even in the case of 32 bit PHP, the VC9 binaries provide better performance compared to VC6 ones.
@ADT
Thanks for letting me know. I will try and compile PHP 5.3.5 on this weekend. And I will include the latest version of OpenSSL with the next release of Apache.
Blair
Thanks for these. I was looking for APC that worked with WAMP 2.1e 64bit on Windows 7 and these worked perfectly.
Just a suggestion, can you update your original post with the updated php_apc.dll without memprotect as I’m sure a lot of people won’t go looking through the comments to find the version that works nicely.
Blair
Sorry, I meant WampServer 2.1d. Apparently I can’t edit my comment.
Francesco
my machine: windows 7×64…
I got it….
I worked hard to find the process wich was listening on port:80 and caused installation troubles…(SQL reporting service..!!!)
just uninstall that…and now my “orchestra” is playing good..!
bye… and thx to all… 😉
Pieter du Plooy
Hi there.
Is it possible for you to give me an ETA of when the 5.3.5 64 bit binary will be finished?
Regards
Pieter
Anindya Author
I was thinking about compiling it last weekend but didn’t get time. Will try to compile tomorrow or definitely this weekend.
Tigran
Do you plan to publish a fresh version of php x64 and apache x64 today?
If not, I will be very appreciated, if you specify the ETA 🙂 Thank you very much!
Anindya Author
Yes, new version of PHP but not Apache. There hasn’t been any new version of Apache since 2.2.17. Will post 2.2.18 when it’s released.
I already compiled PHP 5.3.5 yesterday and will post it today after some testing.
Tigran
Thank you very much! 🙂
Walter
Seems the APC link is dead again.
Anindya Author
You can find APC 3.1.6 in the PHP 5.3.6 post – http://www.anindya.com/php-5-3-6-x64-64-bit-for-windows/. I will compile newer version along with the next version of PHP 5.3.

Hello, thank you for posting. I wonder if you can help me, I’ve been trying to install apc on wamp 2.2 on a windows 7 x64 to no avail. I see you have a lot of apc dlls on your downloads on mediafire, I can’t imagine why. Must all of them be installed, (obviously not), then which of them? I downloaded php_apc without memprotect and was able to select it in the task switcher on wamp, I also added the extension and the following:
[APC]
apc.enabled = 1
apc.shm_segments = 1
apc.shm_size = 64M
apc.max_file_size = 10M
apc.stat = 1
to php.ini, next, downloaded apc.php from http://svn.php.net, but my phpinfo() file doesn’t show apc no matter what I do, and apc.php says it isn’t running.
Alan

I’m using wampserver 2.2 php 5.4.3 apache 2.4.2 or 2.2.22, Compiler :MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008)
