Comming to grips with arduino, bootloaders & ISP...

kariloy's picture

Here's the deal, I'm building my first robot & I have an Arduino One board, but I've realized that the board is too pretty for me to use up in my current (and first) project and besides it would be a waste.

My first thought was:

Well, maybe I can pull out the ATmel chip on the board and stick a blank one there, upload the desired code there, take it out and follow some breaduino tutorial to build around it.

Understanding servos...

Well, I'm trying to learn servos so I'm toying around a micro servo 9G.

I'm using an arduino one board and the following code:

 

#include <Servo.h>

Servo neckServo;            // Define the Servo object

void setup()

{  

  neckServo.attach(10);     // attach the servo on pin 10 to the servo object 

  neckServo.write(90);       // "favorite" default position

}  

 

void loop()

{

neckServo.write(0);

Semi-loose thoughts from a total begginer

I'll be using this blog entry to kind of introduce myself, and gather/organize my thoughts and plan my way into making my first robot but also receive any advice that might be given to me.
