RobotBASIC & Basic Stamp Projects

Hi All,
·
We have created two interesting projects that you may like to see.
·
We have prepared an article (may be published in Servo Magazine), and a
corresponding video:
··············· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwvspYFXJMM
·
The video demonstrates a very interesting Robotic Vision project using a PC with
a RobotBASIC program that acquires images from a webcam and in response animates
a humanoid robot (puppet) actuated with servos synchronized via a multiple-servo-controller
board from Parallax Inc.(www.Parallax.com). The RB program is downloadable from:
········ www.RobotBASIC.com
·
We have also prepared another article and a corresponding video:
········ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxqlTaJy31M
·
The video shows a very interesting project that illustrates how you can use a
RobotBASIC programmed PC to create sophisticated· control projects that would
be impossible to do using most microcontrollers.
·
The project shows how you can integrate Graphical User Interfacing along with
Simulations and Hardware I/O control combined with complex mathematical algorithms
to accomplish PID real time control over a physical model (and simulation) of a Satellite
Attitude Controller.
·
The project utilizes Distributed Processing techniques that integrate the PC and microcontrollers
to realize Multitasking and Parallel Processing to create an overall controller that emulates setups
you may only expect from high-level research projects.
·
The RobotBASIC program on the PC communicates with various Basic Stamps (BS2)
to acquire Quadrature Encoded position information and to actuate PWM motor control.
·
The project is detailed in a PDF file that you can download (along with all the necessary RB and
BS2 programs) from www.RobotBASIC.com.
