Thanks alot 3v0, I am still in the design phase, but this project is a definate yes. I have finished my binary clock, fixed fusilli, and some other stuff too. This is now on the soldering board (ha ha that was a good one!
) Visit the site I PM ed you.
I was going to use that circuit for the body. Here is what the robot is going to do in order of importance:
1. Explore the target room and avoid obstacles.
2. Avoid getting stuck and keep from stopping.
3. When battery is low, find charging dock.
The charger dock will be controlled manually. This is where Fusilli comes in. Fusilli will have IR Sensors near its "ears" and it will seek the IR signal (rider). Fusilli will track the light or lock onto it and it will send signals to its body (the horse) and tell it where to go. The body will then go to the IR beacon while avoiding obstacles. I am going to get a part list and go from there. I will build the PCB first, using only CMOS chips. Everything else (the body) will be mounted to some kind of body. I want this body to be really nice, seeing how this robot will be reall cool. I will also need some kind of coaster, I was thinking of a ball bearing in some kind of casing. I took off the cover of a mouse ball and I will use that (I have about 20 ball mouses
)
How alike is C and C++? I was going to help my tech teacher get the class going by getting a survey and stuff.
I would rather use C though, maybe I could coax him out of C++, but seeing how he has programmed chips in Cars for 30+ years, that may be difficult
