Hi all!
On my blog here you can folow the progress of my roombot.
For now, I just need a robot that moves on the outside of the room and always turn right if possible.
I want it to work with the ultrasound sensor.
For the rest, I really do not know what else I need to buy.
One or two servo's?
Witch microcontroller? (If i need one)
Later on Roombot, there will be 4-6 sensors on, so it must be able to upgrade the bot with them.
Can you guys give me a tip/start?
Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the
Hi, thanks for the comment.
I know the whole picture is way to mutch in the beginning.
That is why is will try first to just build a robot that can move.
I saw some robots here, and plenty can avoid obstacles, so I thought it would not be that hard to upgrade sutch a robot to keep moving next to the wall.
My experiences with electronics are with my school (I studie engineering in Belgium), In a team we had to build a squashball machine. I was responisble for the electronics. The machine had to automaticly shoot at two hights (so the electronics had to change the angle each time a ball went off).
That is all at this moment, but I will chose computer science as my lead course and electronics as my minor course. So I will learn mutch in school too. (Already had a course about electric circuits (Ohm-law, opamps, DC, AC,…))
At school we used MPLab (with a microcontroller disgend for students (accelorator on it, leds showing if the pin is active, resetbutton,…)
Once again, I know that this robot will not be build in 1,2,3. But you have to get a goal I think, so that is my goal.
First thing I need to do is build a robot that can move and avoid objects.
Then I need to program it, that it can follow the wall.
Ow yes, this RoomBot have to be used on my studio, there is only one room. So navigating in a house and define a room is nothing i should worry about.
