(w/ Video )First Arduino Robot, Light Seeker
@ May 17, 2011
Seek Light
Cost to build:
$75
Time to build:
3 hours
URL to more information:
- Actuators / output devices: Tamiya dual gearbox & track/wheel set
- CPU: Arduino Duemilanove
- Operating system: C++, C
- Power source: 6x AA batteries
- Programming language: C++, C
- Sensors / input devices: LDRs x2
- Target environment: indoors/outdoors/small areas
This is a simple Arduino Light seeker. It has an Arduino Duemilinove on board. It is powered by 2 AA batteries for logic( with boost converter), and 4 AA batteries for the motors. I used a Tamiya treaded robot base, but anything with skid steering will work. Well documented and Code here on Instructables. Please check it out.
I finally got around to posting a video!

Pretty Well
The robot works very well and was very accurate when tracking light. I made the robot last year and I recently rebuilt it to post an Instructable. The robot has now evolved to a robot with bluetooth control and is now expanding with a camera for many features like color tracking and such. I am too young for a youtube account, But with the help of my dad, I'll try to post a video in the summer.
