Hi Chris.

I am currently taking BEng and may i know that what is the usage of your servo? Is servo driver nessesary? Thanks for your reply.

I was just wondering if I could get a schematic of your robot. I am new to robotics and I think it would be helpful in my trying to figure this stuff out.

Thanks

Hi Chris,
We are 4th year Mechanical engineering students assisting the US Army to develop a hexapod robot with Reconnaissance capabilities at a specified “target” (in this case “Home Base”). Your robot has inspired us to go with the polulu IR transceiver route. We would greatly appreciate if you could assist us with the Hardware/Construction aspect of your design with either more pictures or a schematic.
I can be contacted at ss10@umbc.edu

Thank you for your time and help.

Hi! This is great. Actually, you inspired our project.

Problem is, how can we know if the robot is indeed at the base? I don’t understand why the code you posted checks if ALL the receivers are below 500, and if so, the beacon is NOT found? Are you saying that if the robot found the beacon, ALL receivers will output HIGH? Please email me if you have the time. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
thank you for this post. It’s really helping with my final year project requirements. If you don’t mind can you please email to me all the circuit connection?my email:suhaimirosti@yahoo.com.Thanks a lot.

If that thing can find it’s way back home again I wish it would teach my stupid dog to follow him.

hi chris,
i’ve read Pololu IR Transceiver pair datasheet. it stated that this type of sensors produce digital output. so, why u connected this output pins of sensors to the analog input of microcontroller? are this sensors produces analog output? i’m confuse rite now..

@Guillaume

The robot looks great. Sorry I haven’t been monitoring comments as of late, but I’m finally getting back to work on electronics experimentation and I’m working on some posts. I have unboxed everything and have set up a great workbench with all my parts and what not.

The robots look really nice. Are you writing up your project experience anywhere, or would you like to? Send me an email: chris at robotishappy.com.
