components that I'm working on at this time -
So these are a couple of the parts that I'm working on. As mentioned in the original bot post, these are the camera side of things. I'm just waiting on parts(arriving friday!) before proceeding with this gear.


--[Areas that I'm going to be focusing on]--
-Steering setup
I've got some old rc gear that is just sitting around, I figure I can use it to control the steering. Servo mounting shouldn't be an issue as there appears to be plenty of room. The original setup used a single motor that would essentually had a small load and kept the wheels it either the right or left extreme. it auto centered with a dual spring setup that were against a center poll.
-wiring up the ir sensor.
need to add the wiring and a bracket to be mounted on the shell of the bot.
-testing comm system between multiple 08ms.

This is the test setup I was using I will be doing more work on intercom when I wire up the sensor.
Working out functionality and flowcharting of controls for the communication.

the camera set is really
Yep, it came on the spy
Yep, it came on the spy car...in the past couple of weeks I've been taking it apart bit by bit. The video transmitter was the trickiest to remove as I had to desolder the (12)pins which I really hadn't done until now(at least not multi pin components).
I used a desoldering suction thing...interesting tool....
I've managed to trace the circuit wiring and am waiting for some components to test it off of the main circuit board.
The receiver was a bit easier as it was mounted on a plastic case and had 3 wires that attached to the main cb.
