Hi everybody

For now : go straight and go left for a while, its eyes are missing !

  • Control method: Planned autonomous
  • CPU: Arduino Duemilanove
  • Power source: 9v for all
  • Programming language: arduino/wiring
  • Sensors / input devices: Planned SRF05 Ultra sound
  • Target environment: indoor flat surfaces

First step

I use cd box for the wheel.

for the chassis, i bought a cutting board at ikea (the plastic is easy to cut and drill and strong enough)

 

The only thing i build with my hand is the servo mounting bracket.

And it was not so easy : I used a very old PC to find my material ; I cut into some aluminium parts and drill 3 holes

So it takes me an afternoon to make 6 usable the servo mounting bracket. :wink:

look at this one :

the next steps to do :

- find a caster
- use the SRF05 I bought
solder the row PCB Header Plug on it to plug
find the way i mount it on a servo

- create the code ; so my robot really will be autonomous

Here’s a caster that looks

Here’s a caster that looks pretty good. And it’s way cheap.
