Autonomous BRAT waterbottle search and destroy Project!

Post your inquiry on that thread. I’m curious as to what you mean.

robot dude, i don’t suppose you have an image taken by a camera for us to compare the image made by the GP2D12 do you?

No sorry, Laurent did it in France. The image is a conversion of distances to gray scale. The GP2D12 is creating a 3D image. It’s really just artistic as the distance values from the GP2D12 do not have a linear response.

checked out the link to the original thread. that is amazing. there have been heaps of us using the GP2D12 sensors at uni for projects and everyone i showed the image to was blown away. i never knew they were so accurate!

I am planning on building the Brat with autonomous functionality. While reading about the processor AtomPro at Basic’s site, I came across the ARC 32.
Can the ARC 32 be used in place of the Atom Pro 28 (BAP-02) ? If so, can this be an option when ordering the BRAT Autonomous kit ?

I did read about the code differences which seem manageable.

Any advice, suggestiosn etc., are welcome.
TIA

The answer is yes, the Arc32 could be used. Note: I have not looked at the Autonomous program for awhile, and it might need a couple of tweaks to convert to the arc32. Things like which servo connects where. Also since this program uses HSERVO command which is based on clock speed and the Arc32 runs at 20mhz where the Bap28 runs at 16mhz, a few constants would have to be updated…

As for ordering information. Probably someone from Lynxmotion should answer. My answer would be simply to order the Kit without electronics, plus order the Arc32. I would also check to see if the electronics holder is included in the kit if not, may need one of them… May need some standoffs, … Again maybe they have an easy way to simply state it in the remarks…

Kurt! thanks so much for the quick answer. I was a bit confused as ARC 32 was listed under the servo controllers rather than the processor section at Lynxmotion. I have requested Jim @ Lynxm to help me with a list of materials to build a humanoid based on the Brat and he has promised to reply! May be he will see this post too.
