Hi,

Great job!. I'm also building my first arduino robot and I'd like to ask you a question: where did you get the platform to install the ultrasonic range finder?

Thanks a lot.

@robertoasturies it's the sensor panner from Robotics Connection. It came with one of their kits, but it's also available separately. Since youtube won't let me post anything like a URL here to my OWN post, go to roboticsconnection -DOT- com and click on the store link and then the sensors link. You'll see it if you scroll down a little.

Great first run!! Could a GPS module be added as well..so it had a specific target in mind? And use that somehow so it could turn left instead of right in some instances? :) :) (I just did Hello World in Morse Code on my Netduino Plus)

@Dichotomousgal Thanks :) On GPS: I don't think the resolution is high enough, plus this is an indoor robot, so probably not. There may be other things that can be done with, say, RF signal at the target and onboard netduino path finding (you'd have to code that) to find the way to the RF beacon.

Congrats on the Morse code. Did you follow Scott Hanselman's tutorial on that?

Thats Cool!! I am using the same platform too

@K3RR0N120 Cool. Have a video of your robot anywhere?
