Light Navigation on the Boe Bot!!!
I got my Boe Bot from one my friends, Joey, and I've been trying to find ways to get it to explore the house on its own. I chose light navigation, but seeing as i didnt have a photoresistor, I ended up using two solar cells from a few of those cheap garden lamps we had lying around that were broken, (last summer I backed over them with ridin mower....oops), and found indoors it works suprisingly well for navigating purposes.
·And since the cells genorate electricity when lights strikes them, I found that there is not a need for all the supporting components, such as caps and resistors, that the photoresistors did.
Only problem is that your BS2 program will require alot of tweaking to get the settings just right for the solar cells you may have.
Hope everyone enjoys trying this out [noparse]:)[/noparse]

The Boe Bot will sit still until a shadow passes over it and then it will try to find a light source and resume sitting still once again.
Hope everyone likes the mods I did [noparse]:)[/noparse]
