Autonomous rover robot with Arduino card as controller

[mushu5t]

I think the IR sensor scan speed is a bit too slow and it should track the obstacle until it clears it. (90 degrees IR sensor facing in either direction.)

[Mindstorms3]

Nice robot! How long did this take you to make? 

[colinu1701]

Can you post the code again? The links on your site don't seem to work. I'd be really interested in what you're doing to analyse the data from the turret.

[nlassabe]

I use an digitilPin with digitalWrite function. I dont use pwm for the sensors. There is the webpage will all the detail in the information part of this video.

[mrdude32riley]

I cant exactly tell but do you have the Servos connected directly up to the Digital PWM pins for the arduino? If so, did you have any problems pulling to much current through your arduino?

[bos4t]

Enjoyed your post and the work you put into this little rover! Look forward to more!

[Virtualmix]

Congrats, it's a beautiful bot :)

[AKSoapy29]

This is freaking awesome!

[KrissTheSavage]

Looks very nice. Great project.

nice show,,,

why not use front steering wheel

[pdutube]

I think it's ready for Mars!

[joeyflip8]

sweet robot

[nlassabe]

you could find all the informations on my home page. See the description of the video.

1 IR, 1 Ultrasonic Ping ;)

@Kidwithnovids it's PING)))

[manchiald]

i decided not to build a robot and just grow weed.... much easier.

[NickBell10]

ur a retard manchiald

[HUNTERTMAXX]

ya i think thats how it turns

[raccoonnyc]

excellant

[manchiald]

imma make a robot that has a house and his job is to "keep the lights on"

by dragging leds with solar cells out of his house in the morning then putting them back at night...

it will also have to lock its gates at night before it goes to its charger.

when he's not working he will just be scared of loud noises and run into his house for a few minutes.

it will also have a lil camera on it along with a blue tooth transciever so that i could use it to look around my room when im gone

[dnggy]

i dont think ive ever used a listerene breath mint pack for a housing of the eyes or sensors

[vline09]

lol creative tho!

[ZwolfZki]

Nice

[porche3r]

is there a tut for this things

[nlassabe]

There is a link to my homepage with some informations (see the description of the video)

[skierplaterandy]

very well done. this really shows the power behind the arduino series chips.

[nutterireland]

great robot very smooth , thanks very much for posting its a great help for me .

[nutterireland]

the link is dead cant find it , any hepl would be great .

[nlassabe]

Could you send me an email at lassabe on gmail ? I will send you the link. But the page with the informations on the robot works for me...

[nutterireland]

great job can yo post the code

[nlassabe]

Yes the source code is on my home page. (see the description of the video)

[jfarr245]

What type of motor controller are you using? I'm building a robot with 2 servos (pins 9 & 10) and intend to connect to a Sabertooth motor controller to drive two gearmotors. My problem is figuring how to connect between Arduino and Sabertooth. Which pins on arduino? And how code it?

Any ideas/suggestions?

[nlassabe]

I never used gearmotors or sabertooth. But I think it should easy to control your board with arduino. Do you have any entries on your controller? Could you connect numerical or analog entries from your arduino to your controller ?

May be you could program your Sabertooth to be controller from the analog output of your arduino.

[inventormaker]

looks like the scarab from halo 3 except with wheels

[McClover]

looks like you have some kind of servo or motor problem. turns to the right slightly.

[nlassabe]

The problem from more of controller than the servos. The controller is not perfect... and could be certainly improved. In this video, the robot turns more often on the left, except to the end of the video, but this from the obstacles, sensors and controller.

[SethTheArab]

What kind of wheels are you using? Having trouble finding wheels that size that are servo-friendly. Thanks.

[nlassabe]

These wheels are not servo-friendly... It was difficult to adapt them. I used hubs and wheels from lynxmotion.  You can find all the detail on my webpage.

[lroy12]

this is awesome. I am working on my own robot. Are you using 4 AA batts? its hard to see in the video

[nlassabe]

5 AA rechargeable batts (1.2V) for the servo and a 9batt for the arduino.

[biquillo]

nice!
