Journal 7: Stardate 10.11.2012

By looking at the modules on the tinker kit website, I’ve found what I needed. For my robot project I proposed, obviously I’ll need servo motors. The micro servo motor might serve me better but that’s just a thought. An LED might be nice to indicate whether the robot is receiving commands or is powered on at least. A joystick would be optional in case I think about having the robot be controlled manually. Originally I meant for it to be autonomous but whatever works. An accelerometer would be helpful for the robot as well, since it would help that it knows when it upside down or not.

That’s all I can think of at the moment.

  1. Gabby B. says:

    If the robot does end up upsidedown, do you have something planned for reorienting itself? Will it rock itself, perhaps, till it gets up? Or will it scream like an armadillo to be reoriented?

  2. Unless I can figure out how get the legs to bend backwards to pick itself up, I have no idea. Put I’ll probably try write some code for that “alert” sound if it does happen.
