I don't think you would need GPS at all. All you would need is some sort of "wall detecting" circuit that would detect the wall on both sides of the car which...

Greetings all, Anyone out there have CCS C code for the Devantek CMPS03 compass? I am trying to modify the code on their site but would like to see what others...
If I'm not mistaken, for speeds above 100Khz the I2C routines have to be modified to add a delay to permit the lowly PIC (Go AVR!!!) on the compass to catch...
Hi Jim, ... I'm not sure whether it is applicable or not, but I've got a GNU GCC code example on my web site for this compass. You can find it here: ...
I have a project that uses an Atmel 2313 interfaced to an ISD4004 sound chip The chip is addressed using SPI I have not used this before has anybody used SPI...
For any CCS users who are interested, Ted L. has given me the simple CCS C i2c functions answer. I have to say that this is 10x smaller than any other code...
We did a survey at one of our Robothons and, out of about 100 people we asked, zero of them found out about Robothon through the posters. Since we are getting...

Very cool! It reminds me of the wire muscles that Jameco sells. I would imagine that these polymer types are a little stronger. Have you, or anyone else,...
It's been several years since I played with them, so things might have improved. Transition from rest state to altered state(?) can be very fast, as in...

I didn't get a response when I asked if anyone wanted to put on a FIRST and/or FLL display at Robothon. This is a great opportunity to show some positive...
What's the best freeware C compiler for MSDOS these days? I need to write a simple program to convert some file formats, and I need the executable to be able...
I found especially interesting that their USB ports operate in host mode- so it should be possible to plug in cameras and other devices, providing a device ...
... That Turbo C compiler by Borland was, and still is, excellent. It's perfect for when you just want a program to run, and you don't want a bunch of crap. ...
... I can see that you are a beginner in robotics, like me. What type of motors does the car have? Probably DC gear motors. To tell the speed of the car, you...
... Hi Soose. One way is to use an analog comparator chip. This chip takes in an analog input (from the CdS cell) and compares it with a "reference" voltage...
