The Zinger is sold as a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) accessory and connects to the controller socket. For the joystick to be compatible with every NES game, it should pretend to be an ordinary NES controller. If that's the case, I'm in luck because...
I decided my ROV needed a robot arm when I original conceived it. First, I like the idea of my robot being able to interact with its environment. Second, since my kids are involved with the MATE program, I wanted a chance to investigate robot manipulators...
We did some coding to make legged robot Bittle walk over a gap that is 8.5cm wide. The distance between its front and back shoulders is only 10.5cm. The skill is available for download at GitHub. See here for more details,...
Visual Studio and C# in .Net was used to write a simple test program. An X,Y foot position is generated, converted to hip and knee angles using Inverse Kinematics and sent to the serial to CAN converter (spare PSOC actuator controller). These packets...
Robot 1-X R4The final revision simplifies programming by permitting a total of 6 pin headers or using 2 pogo pins, rather than requiring test clips. The solder mask is purple, matching the original Robot 1-X design. A total of 144 will be making their...
January 21, 2013: My friend Kevin, contacted me for building an advanced autonomous companion robot. The final goal is to make the robot follow you. This is the construction log page, with more content added as the project moves on. As this project continues...
Physical computing is a good way to spark interest in coding. While manipulating bits and bytes is what code is written for, a change from "0" to "1" in RAM isn't that noticeable as a change from 0V to 5V on a GPIO with a piece of electronics being attached...
One of the things I want my robot to do is to bring me beer when I'm retired and sitting on the couch. This involves the following actions: Drive to the fridgeOpen the fridgeLocate a bottle of beerFetch the bottleClose the fridgeDrive to meHand me the...
The chassis I used was the popular "4WD Robot Car Chassis", which is economical and practical since it has two platforms, 4 gearmotors, 4 wheels, and enough holes to mount the devices of our design. ...
For another - still to be announced - project I created a robot leg housing a small 9g servo. This looked promising and I started wondering if one could build a whole robot arm this way. Basically having little boxes containing servos that are connected...
The above video shows the first tests of 6WD robot in my room. This robot is able to carry a load of several kilos very easily, on the video it transports 8 bottles of water equivalent to 12 kg. The robot can also easily overcome various obstacles...
In this tutorial we will learn how to program the robot to run in a single direction continuously.Step 1: Electrical ConnectionsFirst make sure that the robot is assembled properly and all the electrical wires are connected properly. The Vin and GND...
I constructed the mind control robot using the Mindwave EEG headset, Arduino UNO and a motor controller (SN754410). I read the brain activity of the user using the EEG headset. I constructed the robot using the Arduino Uno and the motor controller. The...
For the robot controller, I'm planning on basing it off an esp32 to make use of the easy to implement wifi communication and its memory and processing power. The standard esp32 arduino libraries already have examples for making a wifi server, using the...
