Post by: gaurav.p on June 28, 2009, 09:42:06 PM
hello ,
i have a doubt tat weather can i make a robot semi autonomous like it will be autonomous when working and at some point when i wish to control it by laptop or an RC transmitter ,i could do tat .well if this overambitious type of bot is possible then please let me know.

if you are thinking about r/c have a look at this tutorial on remot controlling a robot

if you had a spare channel you could have a transistor switch a relay that would switch whether the uc or receiver is controlling the servos?

Relay is kind of brute forcing it... might be better to have the UC constantly polling the receiver data, and if the receiver says "go autonomous" then the UC will ignore the data until a "go RC" message is received.

UC means microcontroller.

And looking at you start-post it looks like you have little or no experience in the field of robotics, so I'd suggest you start with the 50 dollar robot and then move on from there.
