Stingray compatability

DutchBot

Hello all,

I finally managed to get my bot with the MRS1 roaming arround the house on 3 pings, nice! Time for some new tricks I guess, I already·received the Parallax Postion Controller kit (http://www.active-robots.com/products/parallax/position-controller-kit.shtml)·and would like some line following sensors also. I wondered if these parts are compatible with the robot control board in the first place? Seems the position controllers are but I'm not sure.

This is the line kit I would like:

QTI Line Follower AppKit
for the Boe-Bot ( http://www.active-robots.com/products/parallax/qti-line-follower-appkit.shtml·) Just says its for the boe-bot....

Thanks for any help!

Best regards,

Louis

Louis,

FYI, encoders and line following sensor are in the works for the Stingray.

Hi Chris,

bummer but thanks for the info. I already bought and received the wheelencoders. Guess I have to buy a boe-bot to go with it now.

Best regards,

Louis,

I think what Chris means is that encoders and line following kits are planned specifically for the Stingray. That does not mean that what you have could not be used - it just might be more difficult - for example coming up with a wat to mount the boards and adding a notched wheel for the senors to read. What you have is not uncompatable with the Propeller Robot Control Board.

Likewise the line following kit could be adapted as well.
