• Control method: RC as possible, autonomously controlled by onboard microcontroller

Hello from Russia.

On images i sent, you see only a prototype of chasis of my robot.

Then i was a child, me and my father go to see a film "Short circuit". After that i ask my father to build Johnny5.

Now, i think, i must do it self. Of course it will be not a copy of johnny5, but it will be a real fully autonomical machine.

Now i'm waiting a microcontroller and other electronic parts i need. I cant find those parts in Russia. But i find good on-line shop and after 2 months, i think, i finish my first robot.

Tracks and gears i buy on-line. The chasis, wheels, torsions - made myself. Material of chasis prototipe - PVC plastic

Than i complitly tested the prototype, i'll build my robot in final design. I need to testing all function first.

Sorry for my bad and poor english - i have no practice long time.

Today I'm tested the chasis in RC mode.

Wow, its moving!!! :)))

WHERE IS MY MICROCONTROLLER??!

Brothers, i choose Society of Robots Axon Microcontroller for use, is it a good idea?

My electronics parts came to me last week!!!

Axon II, SaberTooth 2x25A, Ultrasonic SRF05, small servo etc.

Now i was built main part of robot chasis.

Part with tracks and motors was modifed to. Now i need to programing my Axon...

...One problem - I'm very beginer and i'm not a C-programmist.

I install AVR Studio, Webbotlib, WebbotLib Project Designer ... but i  don't know what next? I understand how initialise all my hardware, but the main part is "the dark wood (or forest)" for me.

If anybody help me write any simple program  (you see what hardware i have) i'll be very glad.

Source code i trying to wrote is here: http://depositfiles.com/files/vb9ckv6s6
