Hi all,
Finally I found a group with similar interests, can’t believe that there are no formal groups outside of uni’s, or am I looking in the wrong places?
I am a software developer; based in Sydney; by day, and build robots out for world domination by night… unfortunately that last bit is not true… yet.
I am currently working on a 4wd autonomous bot for the RoboGames, Magellan event. I was aiming for the 2008 event but work and some personal commitments prevented that; things are on track for 2009.
A quick overview of Renoster
Lynxmotion A4WD1 chassis
4 Lynxmotion GHM-15 Spur Gear Head with quadrature encoders
4 HB25 motor controllers
Custom ATMega32 based controller
4 custom I2C based quadrature decoder boards
5 SRF02 ultrasonic sensors
Via Artigo
And all the other little odds and sods that go with it, gps, web cam, LCD, servo controller etc.
It still has a long way to go, mostly software.
I am looking for people interested in helping or building their own, I need ideas, help, crit etc. I will share my source, and designs, I have a few spare bare PCB’s for the custom components.
If you are interested let me know.
