eYandron 2 - The aimless wanderer

Second robot in the eyandron series, powered by an Arduino this time, and fully autonomous.

 

Has the same chassis from the older bot, with a sensor added on the front.

 

Motors are controlled by an L293D (part of an old PIC development board)

 

Miniature pan-tilt assembly made out of two miniservos to aim the sensor. (see video#2)

 

Coding with Arduino is so much fun, I experimented with several codes, and the video shows a program running a "random delay" algorithm.

End result: One lazy, shy and disoriented robot that roams around without a mission. (see video#1)

Roams around via ultrasound
