First Real One...

Well folks,

Here's another entry based on Fritz's great code. One goal I had was to not have anything soldered directly to the main board. Instead I installed another board for hard connections and to allow me to expand in the future. I am thinking of this as a great, solid test bed for additional sensors and experimenting with code.

 

 

 

 

A nice, simple base running on good ol' Fritz code

  • Actuators / output devices: 2 GM3's, std servo
  • Control method: IR remote and full auto
  • CPU: Picaxe 28x1
  • Power source: 4AA Pack/ 3AA Pack
  • Programming language: Basic
  • Sensors / input devices: IR and FR05
  • Target environment: indoor

This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://community.robotshop.com/robots/show/first-real-one

Nice little bot! If the vid

Very nice!!! I like how you
Very nice!!! I like how you mounted everything with the thought of expansion and updating!

Very nice work and I have a question

Do you build you own "L" brackets for the front spockets?

Thanks,

I did indeed make them, sir…

Yup,

But really they are just some angle iron… I used 1x1x1/16" aluminum angle. There is a little hardware store here on Cape Cod that has a pretty nice rackof different aluminum pieces -Square tube, round tube, angles and barstock, it is wicked expencive bu when you only need a little it is worth it. It drills like a dream and you can cut it with a regular chop saw (safety glasses!!)
