hey man wats goin on,i seen ur robot an i thought it was kinda cool,but im having problems making a obstacle sensor to actually controll my robot that im making,thought u could give me a couple pointers on how to make a sensor an how to connect it to controll my robot,thanks....
@JAMAICANJAKE86 Assuming you are programming a microcontroller "brain", the reactions will be based in the programming -- e.g. program to take a reading from a distance sensor, followed with if(read_dist > xx) {all stop(); look_left(); take_readingL(); look_right(); take_readingR(); if(readL > readR) turn_right(); else turn_left();} //loop... if your bot is completely analog (no mcu) then digital sensors (like buttons/switches) cleverly connected will be your best bet
@luketorpedo when you're ready to smash that pic into seventeen pieces take a look at the Arduino, then take a moment to see the Arduino[.cc] website and all its documented and referenced glory
Way ahead of you buddy! Got a few videos up experimenting with them already. I'm still using the PIC, but only because its a reliable signal generator.
Only thing that bothers me about arduino compared is the fixed inputs in conveniant pin locations, such as analouge mixed with I2C, also the issues with some library combinations as it has been said that there are problems combining software serial and servo libraries.
@luketorpedo i just took a look at the libraries -- looks like the servo library uses a timer which i could see causing crazy, so just keep em off the timers and you should be worry free. also replace softwareserial with newsoftserial (which will be softwareserial soon, so no need to rush)
May I ask you a question ? How do I make a motor controlled by a cpu, go faster, and have its own power supply, but having it only feed the motor ? The motor receives 1,5 V to move, but it's too little and the result is a slow motion forward, the max votalge is 5V, max RPM 3000. I thought of making a simple gate, using either a PNP or NPN transistor. I'd appreciate it, very much. Thank you for your time !
@94thts nope -- PIC16F886, 2 simple DC motors with 90° shafts, 1 servo, and about 32 cents hot glued to the front for balancing -- the sharp IR is correct, though, and a Duemilanove is a good guess with the rest of my videos being around it :P this was before i learned of the great ATMega328, though
@grey09wolf666 wow i am so sorry i just now saw this comment, do you still need help with it? if so send me a message and i'll help with whatever i can
I jus realized there's a sound sensor, that detects distance through sound i assume, at its head and it turns left and right to see if its clear and its only initiated wen it comes across an obstacle
servo's actually got an infrared sensor that does just that. there are ultrasonic sensors, though, that are much more accurate but a little more expensive [ Infrared Proximity Sensor - Sharp GP2Y0A21YK vs Devantech SRF10 Ultrasonic Range Sensor ]
OOooo thx verymuch for info and part numbers i am hoping my store wud have it too. Can u post a complete list of the parts u included in ur bot ? I am very interested in making a bot but i am a noob at knowing wat microcontroller i shud use.
thats so cool!

Nice work. I'm having a go at fiddling with PIC myself, but the damn things are hell to program.

@luketorpedo i agree. i've since migrated to AVR's

Arduino duemilanove, 3 servos, and a sharp IR rangefinder, am I right?

@mnash123 Sir, could you send me an email about the materials you used and how it is made? I might use it on our little science project. :)
