In month of March, i've decided to begin the construction of a robot.
That's my first robot project, it's not achieved, but all parts are assembled.
I've begin the robot on a note-pad, with a pencil and an eraser, i've switched to a DAO software to make a plan.
I've made all the parts of the chassis and the tower for the ultrasound sensor.
I've bought for this robot :
-Aluminium flat bar
-Ball-caster
-Screws and rivets
-Arduino Duemilanove
-Ultrasoud sensor from Devantech
-RP02 motor kit from Devantech
-Ni-Mh battery 12v-4000mAh
-Little breadboard
-Resistors (pull-up I2C)
-Many wires and plug
-Switch
-10 A fuse
I've programed the robot to avoid objects but the code is buggy.
When the robot go to a corner, it is not able to exit.
First Step, the chassis.
Made from aluminium parts i've cut.
Second step, making tower for detection.
Made from aluminium corner :
Third step, mounting circuits.
I've mounted the circuits with insuling tape for testing the program :
And finally, i've mounted the circuits cleanly :
Fourth Step, testing the new robot :
I've made a video of the first run of my robot :
