Noise Meter Challenge
The Big Brained Superheroes Club has issued a challenge to build a noise meter, and so I thought I would give it a try. Hence I looked up a web page at the arduino site for building a noise meter. … Continue reading
Weighing Robotics
Some weights that are interesting to know. Display has one decimal place, so that 442 = 44.2. The display does have a decimal point, but it doesn’t show at the angle of the photos. Sorry. This is an Uno R3. … Continue reading
Grisbot with Arduino
Here is a preliminary design of a dual tray assembly that can carry both an Arduino and a mini bread board: Here’s an underview, showing how it all fits onto the robot body: As is, the tray assembly can’t be … Continue reading
Programming ATMega328 with Arduino platform
In theory, it’s possible to program the ATMega328 while it’s off the Arduino platform. Simply connect the Rx, Tx, GND, 5V and reset pins, and you’re in business. Well, it didn’t work for me and in the process I realized … Continue reading
Using LEDs as Test Servos
I fully intended that I would complete all software testing before I removed the ATMega chip from the Arduino even once. However, as I test the software, I’ve had to swap out the ATMega chip from the robot back to … Continue reading
Programming the servo calibration procedure
Sub program, sub routine, function, procedure — it seems like every programming language has a different name for ‘blocks of code.’ Well, now I need to write a block of code for the servo calibration procedure. So first I drafted … Continue reading

2013: Year of the Raspberry Robot
My interest in the Raspberry Pi concerns its use as robot brains. I made the above chart to help me better understand where the Raspberry Robotics development process is heading. I’ll need an IDE on my laptop/desktop which can transfer … Continue reading
Robot Sentry Duty
Obviously, there’s going to be course error buildup. I don’t think encoders would help that much. I’m thinking of navigation beacons, like so: (Maybe infrared? Hmm . . . . )
The Naked ATMega
Why take the ATMega328 chip off its happy home on the Arduino to sit naked on a breadboard? Because Arduinos cost $22 while the ATMega328 with Arduino bootloader runs about $1-2 plus a dollar for the support components and a … Continue reading
Servo Center Location Test
It looks like the climactic scene in a monster movie, Arduino vs. Bot. In reality, this setup enables me to keep the ATMega328 chip on the Arduino while I upload test programs to locate the servo centers. According to the … Continue reading
