Main Board Regroup

Posted on January 31, 2010Updated on October 3, 2017by adminCategories:Robotics

I am starting to have problems with my underpowered x86 board I had already.  I kind of hit a wall when going further on the integration of cam for vision processing.  Even though the cam is recognized by USB port, the driver stack in Win2K does not handle the cam (I had tested it in …

Pan-Tilt and Video Figured Out….

Posted on January 18, 2010Updated on December 13, 2017by adminCategories:Robotics, Sensors

After much trial and error and success with PWM and the neck servos (Hitec), I found I was having problems getting the servos to work together using basic pulse width in the Arduino code. Each servo worked perfectly when singled out, but trying a pan-tilt at the same time caused servos slamming to the ends …

Std Servo and Accelerometer Communication

Posted on January 8, 2010Updated on October 3, 2017by adminCategories:Robotics

Part of my steps to get the different parts to talk to each other is a basic action/reaction workflow.  With all this tinkering, nothing ever works out of the box!  I soldered header pins onto a 2-axis accelerometer (Sparkfun) and hooked up to my breadboard.  I had two Hitec HS-81 servos for the neck of …
