Latest stingray setup

ratronic

Hi everybody - this is my latest setup for the stingray. It is operating from a usb joystick plugged into a laptop with a demoboard with a parallax transmitteralso plugged in. I modified the demoboard to be powered from the usb port so everything is run from the laptop battery (except the stingray). Tony B. came up with the idea for the dual pings. Although the quick video I show here doesn't show it avoiding anything, it will if the pings are turned on with the joystick. The stingray is being completely controlled by the joystick via rf between the stingray and demoboard/laptop. The next thing I am going to try (when I have the funds!) is to try to mount a network camera in front of the breadboard so itwill have eyes, ears and jaws! The stingray is running stingplay.spin. The laptop is running a robotbasic program called rfbot2.bas thats listed in the dat section of rf2.spin. The demobard is running transferpins.spin to transfer rs232 from pin31 to pin0 on the demoboard. Please excuse my poor robot driving as I can't even drive a car!

Great work ratronic! Looks great and your driving is just fine. After all - how many times have you ever driven a robot?

Thanks Whit - I have driven a couple of different bots around but I'm not as good as I once was!
