This is my first version of my Arduino robot
I have only got a Arduino board a month or so ago so this is my first real project
this is very simple robot, there is 2 motors, a servo and one IR distance detector.
the IR distance detector is stuck to the top of the servo so it moves over a 10 degree radios and if any thing is within 30 cm of the robot then it turns of one of the motor so the robot rotates.
After posting reply on Youtube, D'OH!! .. Just read you're using an IR emitter/detector for the proximity detector. I've used a pair of stationary IR LED's & 3-pin IR detector/receivers with a Parallax BOE-BOT, Even replacing the Parallax Board-Of-Ed (BOE) with the Arduino Duemilinov, to perform the same program. (simple code translate from PBASIC to Arduino sketch.)
I'm attempting to rebuild an old VEX robotics platform, using the Duemilinov as the brain/heart, and now just recently read about how to decode the VEX RC receiver (If only I could find which box I stuck the transmitter?) to the arduino. It uses the VEX Ultrasonic detector, but heavily thinking of changing it to the Parallax PING)), to cut down on the number of pins.
