Programming :S

By Flaminada

So I'm trying to build the Start Here robot. I'm just playing around with the programming at the moment and have got a tad stuck on it, at first it wouldn't rrecognise the USB cable but I fiddled around with it and after a while managed to get it to recognise the USB connection and loaded the programe:

(Solved!) Low current from Arduino Output (Arduino Start Here robot)

By ignoblegnome

October 4, 2010

EDIT: LED problem solved thanks to RobotFreak. I forgot to set the pins to output mode using the pinMode command. As RobotFreak points out, the Arduino sets all pins as inputs by default. I added a For loop to set all the pins to outputs, and everything worked great.

void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
for (int pinindex = 0; pinindex < 14; pinindex++) {
pinMode(pinindex, OUTPUT); // set pins 0 to 13 as outputs
}

I've been planning an Arduino version of the Start Here robot. Today most of my parts arrived from SparkFun. This bot will be based on Ro-Bot-X's Arduino Shield for building robots.

Starting with .NET Micro Framework

By RobotFreak

August 15, 2010

My current project is a start here robot with .NET Micro Framework using a FEZ Domino board from GHI Electronics. The FEZ Domino is pin compatible to Arduino, but has more processing power (ARM7 core with 72MHz clock), 3 UART, 2SPI USB host and micro SD-Card support.

After building some Arduino based robots I think it's time for a change. Before I start build the robot itself some testings were needed to find out if the FEZ Domino is a worthy successor for the Arduino and can I use my existing Arduino shields.

My very first attempt at robotics

By g_code

November 6, 2009

Its my version of the "start here" robot.

Its a Picaxe 28x1 Microcontroler driven 2 wheel robot that is guided by infra red sensors.

So far I have a box of wrong parts. An Assempled Picaxe 28x1 using a single 330 ohm resistor instead of the yellow chip.

The wheels were made by myself and mounted on a Tamiya Four speed double gearbox assembly.

All My photos can be seen on my website www.izars.com/robo

I will be using a GP2D12 ir sensor which is not recomended.
