The other day I fund a massage thing in a 1dollar store and turned it into this little robot, it’s not much but it is actuality my first C program done by me self, so I am a little proud of my little new one.
It is made from 2 modified micro servos for continues rotation, a sharp IR sensor for eyes and the 08m2 programmable chip from Picaxe.
I used 2 ball baring so the wheel shaft go true there an take the load away from the servo.
As long there is not thing in front of him he moves on, if he sees something he will turn left, if he comes closer he will turn right and really close he will back off and then move forward again.
And that’s it. hope you like it.
C vs basic Okay okay maybe Picaxe is not C but if you look at how you do the programming then it is all done by text. I was actually just so satisfied with my little program and thought picaxe was in the C family. please be kind to all of os new programmers an let LMR be a Place for all.
Thanks Frist of all thanks to all of you for the feedback.
To you Ladvien: I think it would be a cool project ,my first thought was some alien creature from the movie Men in Black put some LEDs and wipers on it and it is well under way.
Gunner and Birdmun: it can drive in a straight line but it is a struggle due to the angle, the wheels are actuality old foam Rc airplane wheels , maybe omni wheels would be perfect here! As it is now ,it’s like walking with wheels and gives him his personality;-)
Very nice looking and well behaved robot! I’m impressed that you fit all of the innards in that small a package - I always end up with more parts than space.
Thanks It was not a easy job, I was close to give up but I didn’t. I actually needed to remove the back of the 2 servo motors otherwise they wouldn’t fit in there. I also often end up with more parts than space, but on this built I managed
