All, I posted this question over on the Mark III forum as well: for what applications was the Sumo11 board developed? For the applications of line following...
Richard, When I designed the Sumo11 I had three main goals, Mainly I wanted the power of the popular Handyboard in a size that could fit on a Mini-Sumo. If...
Dan, All good reasons. I am not familiary with the Handyboard - as you say, it has always been pricey. I have been thinking about building a 3d Mark III and...
I ordered the Sumo11 kit and now I need to find an application! I recently purchased the CMUcam and I was thinking about BOT ball. I looked around over at...
If you have IC 4.3 there should be a CMUCAMlib.ic set of files that provides init and track functions. Be sure you get the CMUcam manual for the camera...
Perfect! I do have IC and the files are there. I may have to make some changes for the newer camera but that shouldn't be too difficult. I also have to work...
My SUMO11 is in the mail, presumably, and I am already daydreaming about version 3 of my botware. Has anyone ever hooked an ethernet card onto a SUMO11 (and...
I am not sure what your skill level is for board development, but google "HC11 ETHERNET" for some HC11 IP projects. UDP appears to be the preferred protocol....
Or look at the offerings at Rabbit Semiconductor and build an expansion board using their chip and stack for communications. ... google ... daydreaming about ...
First, the Sumo11 went together quickly. Single board mode works as does IC 4.30 from the GUI. The analog, knob and servo tests all work when the program is...
The SUMO11 will run the currently loaded program starting with the void main() function each time it is powered up if one is loaded. The base libraries do not...
Dan, I noticed on my new Sumo11 that the servos are premodified. In fact, the controller has a pot accessible from the rear end (as mounted). I am curious...
Richard, These servos are a new thing for me, the adjustment may not be in the best place for a Sumo robot. I liked the idea of being able to supply...
Richard, Both the Sumo11 and the Handyboard use the same servo driver routine I believe. If you have an unmodified servo(that is a positioning servo rather...
I modified the test program such that the knob would set the servo values and I display both the A/D value ( knob() ) and the servo value ( 20 * knob() ). I...
These are the values I obtained by direct measurement of the servo pulse width using IC on the expansion board. /* Servo Motor Speed Constants */ #define...
Hi, Seasonal Greetings to all. I have just completed the main board and chassis for a Sumo11. I bought the optional GP2D12 Sensors, but I am unsure how they...
Typically, they are mounted vertically with just a lower screw; the one holding the scoop to the chassis. In the MiniSumo Mark III instructions it is...
Robert, Thanks, 2480 vs 2500 for the center point (stop for full rotation servos) sounds close enough. I suspect "fast" for full rotation occurs before the...
Jim, Exactly; 2500 plus or minus 1000 sounds right. I'm not sure that RPM has any relationship to values. Just looking at the wheel while I was testing I...
John & Dan, Is there a resolution to this problem with the IC program crashing the machine? I get exactly the same results - in fact, my system got so crossed ...
I suspect the torque difference with the PWM motors is they are running on raw battery voltage rather than the ergulated 5VDC to the servo ports. A fully...
I'm not sure that the batteries are part of the difference. On the Mark III the motors or servos both run from the quad AA battery pack. One way to find out...
OK, now I have 2 chips with 'permanent' errors in EEPROM after IC crashed. By 'permanent' I mean that HCLOAD will not download the motor test code in Single...
Please elaborate on the nature of the "IC Crashed". Is ths always on the second attempt to load the pcode? or is it an error resulting from a user program....
Same story as started in message 267. I took the version of MiniSumo from the files section 'Sumo.ic ' (Program That Crashes) as it is fairly complete. I...
I thought I would try the Config Regs feature in HCLOAD. Mind you, I have no idea what the bits should be but... I set them all! Following a reset I can now...
Dan is on vacation right now according to a previous post.I am not sure whether the eeprom should be in use at all with the NVRAM on the Sumo11. I suspect a...
