I show you how easy programming a servo can be. ]] http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1016 http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1016 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EDT [CDATA[ In this robot moth building video pod cast, I am using two sharp gp2d12 IR range finders and the ADC (Analog To Digital Converter) to create whiskers on our moth robot. When done this week we will have built a bump and turn robot. ]] http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1014 http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1014 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EDT [CDATA[ In this robot moth building video pod cast of we add in speed control with Pulse Width Modulation. Now the Pic Microcontroller can adjust the speed of our motors through the L289N H-bridge. ]] http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1010 http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1010 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EDT [CDATA[ In this robot moth building video pod cast, we connect our L289N motor controller up to our bot board with a Pic 18f4331. After downloading our code we are ready to have our robot moth move. ]] http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1008 http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1008 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EDT [CDATA[ In this robot moth building video pod cast, we add a motor controller to our moth project. This will drive our tracks and be controlled by our Microchip Pic microcontroller on our TechGeek Bot-Board ]] http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1007 http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1007 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EST [CDATA[ In this robot moth building video pod cast we start to build up the base of the robotic moth by laying out the internal components. We need to decide where we will put the h-bridge motor controllers, Pic microcontroller on our Bot Board the servo, sonar and infrared range finders. ]] http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1006 http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1006 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST [CDATA[ In this robot moth building video pod cast we select a base for our robotic moth. Select wisely for the rest of this project will be based on this selection. ]] http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1005 http://www.TechGeek.com/subpage/index.phtml?topic=986&item=1005 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST [CDATA[ Robot moth building video pod cast, Jim describes the project outline for building a robotic Moth. ]]
