Electronics and robo bits

[Annubis]

Ever worked with a pic chip. My specialty is the pic16f84.

I like working with sensors, and DC motors. I feel like creating a sumo robot!!! HAHA! Who wants to collaborate?

Robot websites

I found a great robo site: Robots Dreams
Do you know any?
if you know any technology events, symposiums, or festivals in Tokyo, please post them here

OK! Fine! What about 555chip circuits? Anyone got any good ones... other than squencers, noise makers and clocks?

        call    DelayForBaudPeriod

        return

Interesting! What programing language are you using? It looks very basic. What is the purpose of the program? Is it just sending information through a PC's serial port? I prefer to stay away from any computer's umilical cord.

It looks like assembly to me... Could you give us a little more documentation on the variables?

I prefer to stay away from any computer's umilical cord.

It doesn't look like Intel instructions, so it's probably for sending stuff to a leg or something using a processor.

Here's a basic circuit, maybe a hitch to a project.

But it's only the beginning... anyone have any original ideas for 555 chips? I'll come up with more as time comes along. Feel free to ask questions... hehe.

Eheh, it would be fun to make a JRef robot.

 

[Annubis]

I agree... we should! Hehe! Maybe J-bot could be involved somehow.
