Stewie IV solving maze from different corners and displaying the maze on a monitor using wireless transceiver, then displaying the fastest path after mapping entire maze.
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.
What kind of sensor did you used?, and to send the wireless information to the FPGA circuit what kind of transmisor did you used?

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