Little 8 copy

This will be my first robot with a board. But I have made a RC boat made out of Styrofoam using parts from RC Helicopter.

Brought motors and wheels from: Pololu.com

Brought the Pix 8 motor board, switches, serial cable,7805 Fixed Voltage Regulator at: www.techsupplies.co.uk

Brought the 9 volt connector at radio shack.

Now the wait is on.

I had to cut off the platic column on the motor to install the wheels. Then I used super glue to mount the motors to the wood. Dimension of phatform is 3 inches long x 1.5 inches wide.

All other parts arrived.

Here, you can see the that i mounted my 5v regulator on the bottom of my robot. (Made phatforms to big)

Hopefully you can see my wiring for the switches.

Since my back phatform was to large to copy the original Little 8, I just my mounted the Picaxe 8 board on the back and used the front as the battey holder.  The front phatform dimenions are (3.5 inches long x 1 inch wide)

After adjusting the code fritsl posted, I finally got it to work. Now I going to rewrite the code, so when the left switch is activated it will turn left and same for the right but turn right.
