4Track - a printed mobile robot

[acidum984]

dunno why, but my favourite feature is joypad control!

btw, excellent versatility, very nice idea and performance.

And now, to the full automation and mobility!!!

Is this Arduino based?

[kepler5885]

@enticed2zeitgeist

It uses an atmega 328, and the design is based on arduino, but it is an independent board created by Itziar Lima, a student at my university.

@kepler5885 That's awesome. How much schooling is required to be able to build a custom board like that?

[kepler5885]

@enticed2zeitgeist

None! As a matter of fact I don't know of a single school that will teach you something like that. All you need is a bit of patience and lots of interest! Look up "standalone arduino" and you'll find a simple circuit with the basic components to make the microprocessor work without the arduino board. That way you can connect whatever you want to it and modify the rest of the circuit. Best of luck with your projects!

@kepler5885 That's fantastic news! I bet that would be a great way to really understand what is doing what on the board eh?! You've been a great help. Thank you!

Awesome! This is a rather basic, but interesting concept.
