Can you Please teach me How to make a controlled Arduino Robot via Bluetooth by using an Android Device :D 

 

I found some Application in Play Store about the Bluetooth controller, it is called Bluebots ,a Bluetooth remote control for robot. (see below)

Hi everyone,

A few days ago, I tried to programm a picaxe microcontroller via the serial cable on my windows 7 PC but it gave an error like 'no hardware found on comm port4 ' or the same with 'comm port3' etc.. when I changed the serial port settings in programming editor software. If you are facing the same problem then this may be the possible solution (well it worked in my case).

While encouraging David C. To learn to program for something other than a robot, I realized I was being kind of a hypocrite. I enjoy building the hardware more than programming. Not that I don't enjoy programming, just that the initial thrill of seeing the the completed machine is kind of an experiential apex. Is that the norm? Is it kind of like that arty/techy thing we had a while ago?

I am getting one dirt cheap (less than the price of a Arduino!) All I know so far is it has a ARM chip and you program it in C# (sharp).

Sounds interesting, and more than a bit scary (anyone know C# so I can get help when I need it?)

Don't want to learn C (or for that reason the Arduino IDE)?

Could you make a small flowchart/block diagram of the program you want? Then (want) to change it into a running script?

ArduBlocks will do that for you! Translate your flowchart/block into a Arduino program and then show it in the Arduino IDE! Not only is this a great way to "model and test" it could also make a great way to learn to program scripts (then you know C!!!)

What type blocks does it have? Almost any you can imagine. Makes a robot control program fairly easy to write.

A few days ago I was going to try some programming in C using mikroC. So far I have been able to blink a LED...  mikroC is primarily designed to support the circuit boards MikroElectronica makes and does very little for the Arduino (and they plan on keeping it like that). It is still a great (but expensive!) C, just not one for the Arduino.

I know my new robot runs (and runs nicely) on a ZBasic chp, but I will always have a great fondness for the Arduino, the first microcontroller board I ever used. (I used the PICAXE for a while too.)

Right now I have been programming a Arduino Uno with C. I really like the MikroC AVR C from Mikroelectronika. I am using the free version (limited to like 4k, decent space for C programs!). The full version is kind of pricey.

I then use AVRdude (love that name) to send the resulting hex file to the Arduino non-volitile memory. Works great!

 

 

 

Below are the 6 sensors

s0        s1          s2             s3            s4             s5    

Will be writting an if  with if else statemnt for each condition

(0&&1), (1&&2), (2&&3), (3&&4), (4&&5)

(0), (1), (2), (3), (4), (5)

 

 

So I made my first attempt at a robot using my Arduino...

It can be seen here, so that I don't have to explain how everything works again: http://letsmakerobots.com/node/31357

Now my problems is the code. What I have so far looks like so:

 

 

#include <IRremote.h>

#include <Servo.h> 

 

Servo run; // servo for running hind wheels, continuous rotation 

Servo steer; // Servo for steering

int pos = 0;

int RECV_PIN = 11; // IR pin

 

ok i bought a pic kit 2 because i finally got some money 
i have the pic kit
mplab

what else do i need or can i plug it all in and try to program with it?
i only have one pic chip for now  soo i dont want to make any mistakes 

We at RobotBASIC are currently working on a RobotBASIC Robot Operating System (RROS).

The full RROS will manage almost any type of sensor allowing hobbyists
without an electronics background to build and program sophisticated
robots.  The RROS will probably be distributed Open-Source to allow
expansion and customization.  We will even allow users to share their
modifications through our web page.  The LIGHT version is requiring
sensitive coding that will not be appropriate for modification, so it will

I'm building a 4 servo biped robot, but I barely know any arduino. I just need a code for this bit to walk and then I could learn off that code for future robots. Thanks if you can help.

So I have a Sharp IR sensor connected to my Arduino, feeding to my pc the values of its analog input, via the Serial connection.

To do this, I'm using the Serial.write() command. I want to be able to read these values into processing, but when I use the Serial.read() command in Processing, the values it picks up are nothing like what the Arduino Serial monitor is giving me, and are unaffected by the IR sensor.

What am I doing wrong, and how can I get processing to read these values from the IR sensor?

Any help is appreciated.

It is working now, thanks to everyone who helped me out!!!

 

 

I am trying to make my servo work,but if I start my arduino, with code and servo attached, it just goes to one position and stays there twitching. Can someone help me?

second try

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone else has made their own PICAXE program transfer cable?

I had all the equipment to make one, 2.5mm stereo jack, colour coded wire, a usb plug and soldering equipment; so I thought i'd give it a go!

The connections for the PICAXE cable seemed very simple (having only Serial in, Serial Out and Ground) and knowing that a usb's connections were quite similar (Ground, Data+, Data- and Vcc) so I tried to match them up.

Hey, I'm wondering: If I have 2 Picaxe 28X1's that both have their own programming sockets, after programming them, can I use a male to male audio cable and connect their sockets, and send information from one to the other with serout commands? One 28x1 sends info to the other, no data is sent back, so only on serial line is needed. Is it possible, and how would I implement it?

I started with an Arduinno because I read about it in Make Magazine (so very recently). I am considering trying Picaxe, because it seems as though the programming will be easier and I do not have a strong programming background (read: Basic in 1984).

Two quick questions:
