| I think I am going to attach this breadboard to this Hoist/Metal Elements frame I came up with. |
 |
| Setting up a frame for attaching various stuff. |
 |
| Latest shipment from Robonor.no: 2000x resistor package 200x capacitor package 10x diodes (not pictured) Protoboard Standoffs Screws 20x F/F cables |
So far, the main parts of the robot is:
- 4-motor Rover 5 with encoders
- Dagu 4 channel 2.5A controller (credits to Dev Donkey for good pictures of wiring and setup)
- Arduino Mega ADK with TX to an Arduino Uno R3 (slave)
- Samsung Galaxy S2 with CM9 (planning to get some pan/tilt kits to mount this as a HD camera as well using it for it's CPU power & WiFi/BT)
DaguAREXX IR compound eye- Maxbotix LV EZ1 ultra sound sonar (good tutorial here) on a separate 5v circuit for minimum interference. I made a thread on the Sparkfun forum, lots of input there. Thanks guys!
- Linear temperature sensor + 2 simple temp sensors
- 16x2 LCD
- 128x64 LCD on separate 9v course (draws quite a bit of power, trying to avoid dip)
- Humidity sensor
- Dew point sensor
- 2x QRD1114 phototransistors (for rear proximity) (tutorial, same page as EZ1)
- 2x IR RX/TX transmitters
- 2x Dual channel 2A motor controllers
- Pan/tilt arm
- 2x mini breadboards, one of them mainly for buttons to control OS
- DFRobot Protoboard
Most of it has been up and running at some point, I am working on the OS to control everything. Lots of code to organize.
 |
| I'm trying to build some form of exoskeleton around fragile parts, like the LCD. It's not that easy, considering the pan/tilt arm has quite a bit of turning range and will easily crash into something if the controlling code has bugs! |
 |
| Here you can see the Dagu controller mounted beneath the servo too, as well as IR compound eyes mounted in front. |
