1/19/14 - Outdoor testing to follow a hexagonal path. Direction is determined by HMC5883L.

1/18/14 - Arduino Uno is replaced with a Mega.

 

1/6/14 - Digital compass is operational.

 

1/3/14 - GPS is relocated to the outside of the body.

 

 

 

12/30/13 - A GPS with LCD is done.

Initial outdoor test showed the longitude, latitude measurements can vary by up to 10m.
Therefore, the indoor movement is not practical. The 2-1/2" Du-Bro wheels are good for driveway and parking lot navigation.

 

 

 

Autonomous waypoint navigation

  • Actuators / output devices: 2 DC gear motors
  • CPU: Arduino Mega
  • Power source: 7.4V Lipo
  • Sensors / input devices: GPS, sonar, digital compass

GPS in a tin box?

Bit confused , i’d have thought that a GPS system inside a tin box with no external antenna would be almost as practical as a chocolate teapot ! , or does it normally run with the lid off ?

There is a window at the top so the GPS can see the sky.
