Arduino Autonomous Robot

This is a repost of a previous project. I am still working to get the older post back online from when we upgraded Wordpress.

The robot was basically built using a Parallax Boe Bot chassis. Rather than using the Basic Stamp we added an Arduino with a proto shield to control the robot functions.

You can use any type of chassis for this project. The robot moves about using a ping sonar and IR sensors to avoid running into any objects. As you can see in the video, it was a bit thrown off by our kitten. We added additional items such as a wireless camera that sends audio/video back to our TV. Read more »

Arduino Workshop Photos

Arduino Workshop 21 Nov 09

Arduino Workshop 21 Nov 09

Saturday turned out to be a great day for working with the Arduino at Wild Goose Creative. Although we missed the OSU Football game (but we already knew they would beat Michigan!) we had a great turn out. I was actually surprised at the amount who showed up on the big rivalry game day! It seems like the Arduino is catching on in Columbus.

I have added some photos to my Flickr page from today’s class. I need to start taking more photos at these events. I tend to forget to bring a camera with me :(

Future classes are being planned and I will update with a schedule as soon as it is ready.
