Little Drum Machine - Writing his own music Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 83 seconds Little Drum Machine is now a lot better at finding interesting things to drum on, and he's coming up with his own beats rather than playing pre-scripted drum patterns.

Little Drum Machine - Motor Test Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 23 seconds A work-in-progress shot of my new project. I liked the Yellow Drum Machine so much that I decided to make one for myself. This is just testing the motors.

Little Drum Machine - Almost Done Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 70 seconds He's mostly complete. Eventually I want to add one more drumstick up front, but for now I'm working on refining his navigation and drumming code.

Robotic Arm - Step 2: Flailing Around Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 34 seconds My second step in writing software to control the LynxMotion L6 arm with an Arduino Diecimila and the Pololu Micro Serial Servo Controller. Running through a set of scripted motions, but the motions happen way too fast, which sends batteries flying. Fun, but needs work.

Little Drum Machine - Ready To Rock Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 8 seconds Now he's got a "bass drum" too. Time to start coding the drumming routines. See the rest of my robots at http://letsmakerobot s.com/user/101/robot s Related: arduino, electronics, letsmakerobots, pololu, robotics Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

Little Pic - Trapped! Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 15 seconds I decided to build a robot from parts I had lying around. The result is my version of FritsL's 'Little 8' robot. Mine is based on a PIC 16f690. Doesn't do much other than scurry around and run into stuff.

Little Drum Machine - Rocking Out Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 11 seconds I hacked a little sound sampler circuit board, soldering up wires to the button contacts so that the microcontroller can trigger the recording and playback. Now LDM can record his beats, play them back in a loop, and jam along with them.

BullyBot - Shooting Blanks Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 24 seconds BullyBot's movement, aiming, and shooting are working, though he has no sensors yet so he can't actually find anything to shoot at -- all he can do is wave his gun around wildly and shoot up the place. But that's pretty fun too.

Herpe Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 22 seconds Herpe is a curious-yet-skittish -puppy-bot. What he's SUPPOSED to do is seek you out and drive up to you, but if he gets too close, he backs away in fear. In reality, he's a bit of an idiot.

Robotic Arm - Step 1: Manual Control Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 32 seconds My first step in writing software to control the LynxMotion L6 arm with an Arduino Diecimila and the Pololu Micro Serial Servo Controller. I'm reading the values of 6 potentiometers and updating the joint positions to match.

BullyBot - IR Detection Testing Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 22 seconds Testing the IR detection circuitry that BullyBot will use to find the other robots in the room. The detector is still too sensitive -- needs to be more directional.

Robotic Arm - Stacking batteries Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 22 seconds A bit more complex motion. The arm picks up two 9V batteries and stacks them, then unstacks them and puts them back in their places.

Robotic Arm - Stripped servo gear Posted by: cowgod77
Video duration: 18 seconds Oops. A rounding error in my code resulted in a stripped servo gear in the wrist rotate servo. Guess it's time for an upgrade to metal gears...

Jezus it don't do anything

Good stuff, what language did you use for the coding?
By: cowgod77. on 23 Apr 08, 18:07:20
Thanks. It was probably 5 hours' worth of work to build it, and another few hours to develop the code.
By: phorcep. on 23 Apr 08, 07:01:26
Nicely done, how long did that take to build and calibrate?
