to mark as completed Mini Monster Boe Bot
This is my first robot and first time using a microcontroller. Electronics is easy for me but programming is another can of worms. I would like to thank all the guys in the Parallax forum for answering my dumb software questions. They have excellent support. Rather then re type everything I am including 2 links to the Parallax forum finished projects section. Everything is pretty well documentted if interestted. Also a short movie clip. I am new here and like the international ideas here. Many of the parts were used or laying around my electronics workshop. Alot of the wiring was fabracatted from old computer frames. Amazing what you can do with an old erector set and alot of basement engineering.
The more you learn, the more you find you don't know. It is neverending. Confucous 550 BC
