Stewie IV Micromouse Maze Solver Extraordinaire

What kind of sensor did you used?, and to send the wireless information to the FPGA circuit what kind of transmisor did you used?

[billsisback]

The sensors that detected walls were simple IR pairs--IR LEDs and photo-transistors.  I used XBEE transceivers to communicate with the FPGA.

maervellous..did you build the mappig software?whta type of software you use?is it visual basic 6 or visual C++?can you reply to my profile please.thank you.

If by software you are referring to the monitor display, then it wasn't done with VB or C++. The monitor is driven by an FPGA functioning as a stand-alone computer without an operating system. The FPGA hardware was written in Verilog, and the software is C. I used an Altera DE2 Dev Board, which has a VGA port/driver for development applications, such as this. Stewie's code was written in C as well. The robot brain is a PIC4620 and the development was done in the MPLAB environment.
