Welcome to alex.orbitalspuds.com
Also Alex's private webspace.
As you would have seen if you frequent my site, I have been a little slow at making any progress on this website. If you looked carefully you will have noticed that I have added some rough work in the electronics section. What that means is that I have been busy working on some electronics which will soon be posted here. So here's a heads up on some projects I'm working on and will soon post information about:
- Learning Bot - This will be a small 3 wheeled robot which you would physically teach a path by driving it like a toy car, and then it will be able to retrace that exact path on it's own, also some data processing will also be done, so it will modify the path in certain ways, it will be able to go backwards and forwards, etc.
- USB Interface- I have recently been interested in using the USB protocol rather because of some of it's advantages such as speed, and the bus power. I will write code to interface an Atmel microcontroller (not sure which one) and a USB device like a mouse or joystick.
- Robotic Arm - Once the above is done, the next step is to design and build a robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom all controlled using a joystick.
So if you are interested in any of those things, you might want to check back here once in a while and see what changed.
