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
