Wow – its only been a couple of days since I posted the schematic and already a question. Basically its asking what voltage regulators am I using. My input power comes from a 7.4V pack of lipo batteries, usually about 300mAh capacity, I need 5V for my motor encoders, and 3.3V for the rest of [...]
Not too surprising but I managed to nearly ignore my micromouse obligations for a whole year. Then again I graduated, have a job, moved house a couple of times and am only now able to say I’m settled! So, new years resolution is to get this mouse going again, I have new designs that I [...]

And here is the data from that run: The todo list is as follows: Retune controller (there is some nasty overshoot and the control signal itself is oscillating) Calibrate the speeds – left and right wheel have different speeds (:() so [...]
Very bad video quality – but the mouse moves: Will get a better camera in on Monday, but yay it moves. This is a very basic movement – accelerate to ~20% maximum speed, stay there and start to decelerate after 1s. It moved very roughly, 0.5m in 1sec, making its theoretical (ish) top speed about [...]
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 [...]
