So important parts to mention are that the Bluetooth module was from sparkfun.com and is not currently available (although there are many similar [...]
The mouse I have been working on up until now has been quite a complicated design as it was the technical part of my MEng Cybernetics degree. So now that’s all over its time to make things a bit simpler and aim a little lower – this is after all a hobby and I can’t [...]
As its exam time I have been carefully avoiding revision with a mix of counterstrike and micromouse work. New PCBs are 95% ready to be ordered and so my focus has turned to the controllers. After implementing a fixed point maths system for the controller (10.5bits signed for those who care) and ziegler-nichols tuning the [...]
Buttons are cool, so are menu’s. So with the help of a button, a few leds and a dspic I have a menu system (also note that this is blocking, the idea is that its used to start / stop the robot, so the robot does not move while the menu is active), first lets [...]
Today was a very unproductive one. Slept in, managed to do nothing till 2, then spend hours trying to work out why something had broken on my mouse – it was me, it was running 4 times slower because I put the line of code to tell it to run 4 times faster in the [...]
