Well I put this sucker together but not sure if the circuit is correct I made it from scratch but need to know if I got this right. I know I should have bought...
Let's assume that you're working with a bridge motor driver such as the L293 (sorry I just looked at the picture and you are.) The connections are all over the...
OK I looked again and realized that you are using an L298 controller, which make your circuit look a lot more reasonable. Sorry! L298 Pin Description Pin 1....
The logo contest has been a close race from the beginning... who'll walk away with the prizes? You've got until 12:00 noon EST to get your vote in and...
A big congratulations to our logo contest winners! Jon walks away with second prize for his submission JonTammy_Montreal. For his efforts, he'll be receiving a...
Does anyone know how to get the Robot Viewer on the web site to display AFTER the main part of the page has loaded? Right now it's just a JavaScript running...
I think you need the defer attribute: "When set, this boolean attribute provides a hint to the user agent that the script is not going to generate any document...
Thanks for the tip. It seems to work perfectly in FireFox, but not IE. Aparently this particular script DOES contain "document.write"s. IE ends up just...
I got a couple sample 16f84A's a while back. Where do I start to learn how to program them etc? How much can it cost? Is there a cheap way? what language or...
Thanks for the help. But I figured the damn thing out. The Book I'm using seems to have a typo. (took me over a week to figure it out!!) Since I'm somewhat new...
Jim, That's the very same microcontroller I got started with! The page here: http://samengstrom.com/elec/pic/index.html is a good start - it has the schematic...
I've just posted a build guide for a polycarbonate-and-aluminum robot on the website. The link is in the Resources box to the left of the main page. Feedback...
Hi everybody I never used Parallax chips, but this one seams very exciting; The "Propeller" chip That will be a chip with a lot of processing punch! exerpt...
... It definitely looks sweet... are there any datasheets floating around? I couldn't seem to find one on the site. Some questions come up about its design......
The datasheet is not available yet. I think it will be published May first. About the performance of the PROPELLER chip; This is from the forum of Parallax,...
I think you're right about the big changes this could bring, but only if it stays cheap... Processing power is already readily available, it's just the price...
Well there are several advantages to having multiple parallel processors especially for robots. For ex. you could have a couple of processors dedicated to...
Interesting points, Kristoph. I could counter-argue that a fast single-processor controller running a suitable realtime multitasking OS could achieve the same...
I read this article http://robomontreal.com/polycarb.php and have the ... Perspex is a brand name for acrylic sheet (Polymethyl methacrylate) - not ...
Thanks for the great info! I'll incorporate it into the guide ASAP. I had read someplace that Perspex was the UK brand name for polycarb, but upon further...
Well there are processors out there that are designed exactly for what you are describing, most notably, most Digital Signal Processors (DSP) have the ...
Your comparison to the x86 market makes some good points. I'll throw in my two cents from a console games point of view - don't worry I'll bring it back to...
Huh.. that's weird, I posted this yesterday, but it disappeared. Anyway, Robot Racing have put up some pics and videos of their April 28th Autonomous Racing...
Hi, That seems to be very interesting. I was kind of waiting for a proposition like that where we could gather to bring our interest and expertise to a greater...
Let's plan on having a small meeting later this month, shall we? Everyone welcome... sort of a meet'n'greet, find out what everyone's interests are, and maybe...
The Western Canadian Robot Games results are up on their site: http://www.robotgames.net/ No pics/vids yet, but they're presumably to come. It seems the event...
