Fusilli is complete! It works incredible! I couldnt think of a body for it, so i just taped everything onto the servo. Looks kinda cool. Fusilli can track light in a full 180degrees on its body. It can also track moving objects, aka a led torch, or whatever it may pick up. I am going to experiment with it and see if i can adapt it to go onto a future robot
D) , perhaps for tracking? Once Fusilli gets onto a good light target, it tries to even out the light it sees in both eyes. It doesnt awlays do this (due to how i tuned it, thereforeit will constantly move). I also built a dual H-bridge so it can be easily adapted for another servo for 2 axis of freedom head! I am going to do this soon! But it also will begin to oscillate very fast, around 200hz sometimes, and it is crazy! Very fun! Crazy fun actually! This robot is extremely buggy, it will track a object (as long as its bright) for hours then suddenly switch to some random object. Very confusing and scary to see it just stare at you for a hour and have it oscilliate.
Pictures!!!!!
1:The first picture is Fusilli as compared to macaroni (yes it is souperman, look at the "gotta love rippin off free samples thread" read the whole thing). It likes my microwave's lights.
2: Fusilli tracking the cameras flash (it is actually oscilliating back and forth about 1cm 200hz. So its pretty speedy!
3. Dual h bridge i pulled out of farfalle and a pretty flower tile of my moms kitchen
4: Fusilli's H bridge is specially designed to have its own 3v powersupply while its controlled by a input of around 1.5v to up to 20v. It is a awesome design and is the ultimate in small robots and servos without a Microcontroller
DONT STEAL MY FOTOS PLEASE
I may post the schematic up, but if you want me to, post your responses and comments below. If is VERY VERY FUN WATCHING!!!
