I don't know a good upload service and used the first one google showed me. Do you know a bether one which u can recommend?

You could always have attached it directly to the post under the "Additional Options..." menu item when writing your post.

You might want to try Fritzing, It is a great breadboard centric layout system for creating electronic circuits. It can also be used for basic PCB design. It has a circuit diagram layout you can use as well. Best of all you can publish your fritzing files and other people can make suggestion and modifications directly to them.

Code:

        servoSpeed[roll]= inches/10;
        servoSpeed[pitch]= 2 * inches/10;
        servoSpeed[yaw]= 2 * inches/10;
        servoSpeed[Boo]=  inches/10;

If they are all to be the same speed then the code needs to be ...

Code:

        servoSpeed[roll]= inches/10;
        servoSpeed[pitch]=  inches/10;
        servoSpeed[yaw]=  inches/10;
        servoSpeed[Boo]=  inches/10;

although it might be quicker to calculate it once and use it several times

Code:

        int Speed = inches/10;
        servoSpeed[roll]= Speed;
        servoSpeed[pitch]= Speed;
        servoSpeed[yaw]= Speed;
        servoSpeed[Boo]=  Speed;

Cheers Pete.

OK so post the code you have to control the speed of the servos and the code for the ultrasonic ranger and i can look at knitting them together for you  in the way i described before.

Cheers Pete.

OK so first off what Ultrasound ranger are you using.

have you actually got it wired up to the arduino.

Cheers Pete.

     OK so it sounds like you have already answered your own question.

      If you can vary the speed of the servos by altering a delay in between the setting of the Pulse width that sets the position of the servo just link this delay to the results from your ultrasound sensor.

     You can use the map function to map an input range from the sensor to an output range that fits in with how fast/slow you want to move the servo.


Cheers Pete.

do you actually mean Servos, generally these are thought of as the thing that is used in RC projects and their speed is not normally controlled but their position is with PWM and is maintained using an internal closed loop feedback in the servo itself.

 I can help, what is your budget.

Cheers Pete.

Hello,

Looking at your requirements I believe that I can help you with this.

I have sent you a PM with my details.

Cheers Pete.

OK .... so ...

We have two frequencies going on here, and some confusion as to the requirements of the "baud" rate.

The interface speed of the GPS is the baud rate, the rate at which it sends messages is the message rate, the two are not really inter dependent unless you are expecting to be transmitting data at 32 baud

So even if the messages are coming in at 10Hz unless there is a VERY good reason why not then they can also go out at 10 Hz independently of the baud rates.

The very simple serial repeater posted by Rob will do what you want, all you have to do is extend it to have the number of ports you are expecting to repeat to and specify the pins you are intending to use for the soft serial library. Most NMEA sentences are quite short and will not require buffering but can just be squirted directly out.

If you need more guidance with the coding just shout, I am sure there are plenty of people including myself who can knock this up in 5 minutes for you.

If my understanding is too simplistic and you do need to be throttling the NEMA message rate then it all gets much more complicated.

Cheers Pete.

You just read from one port and write to another, probably 20 lines of code

Code:

setup () {
   Serial1.begin (115200);
   Serial2.begin (9600);
}

loop () {
   if (Serial1.available())
       Serial2.write(Serial1.read());
}

Make that 8 lines

Rob

You may want to add the lines that define the pins used in the softserial library too

@ Peter Baines for your INformation , I was able to work all the stuff out myself and have no problem now, What I was trying to depict is the possible hardships that may occur while you implement the stuff!

Excellent news .................

Nothing quite a satisfying as figuring it out for yourself is there ?

Now that you have all the answers i guess the cost of development now comes down 

Cheers Pete.

Hi .....

I am not really understanding what you need the money for.

If you are doing it, software development costs nothing . Most people who develop commercial software here on the forum develop it first and demonstrate its merit and then try and sell the finished product. I can frequently be found here selling my services but i would not ask a client to invest in my services without some proof that I could deliver also.

Try telling us why you need the money and exactly what you are trying to develop.

There are a lot of CNC control programs out there in the freeware world already.
What would we get for or 20 then we cannot get for free.

Best of luck with this.

Cheers Pete.

Surely a single gyro will do the job central to the 4 legs.

The leveling algorithm/movement would be the same as a quad copter.

In fact this is just a quad copter project with a bit of a twist in the propulsion systems ..... or am i missing something here

Cheers Pete.

I guess the problem you have here is production costs. The per unit cost can only come down f you are going to be ordering very large volumes of these devices.

How many do you think yo may be requiring per batch order.

The design is not problematic, the hardware is out there if yo are prepared to make compromises on functionality over cost.

I have sent you a PM with my details in it.

I take on start up projects from time to time and an old good friend of mine was working on the water issues in Africa before he died a few years ago and so I am willing to donate my time to help.

Cheers Pete.

Hello Folks,

I am a Welshman living in France and working with Arduino and ATmel CPUs. I am looking to try and get a user group together for winter meetings and collaborative projects. I run a small B&B in the summer and so my time it limited but after September i have lots of time to dedicate. I speak some french but would not call myself fluent. Perhaps this group could serve as a language exchange also but with a theme of Arduino development.

If you are interested then please drop me a PM.

I have also been thinking about running residential programming/hardware design workshops from my B&Bin the winter over a weekend.
If anyone thinks they would like to help to organize these than also lease drop me a PM

Cheers Pete.
