I want to see some Picaxe tutorials, as this microcontroller board is very popular!

I'd like to see a tutorial for solar powered robots. Renewable energy!

Elias, Google BEAM robots.

Hai I am new to this site. This site very interesting to see very good color combination I liked it very much topic is also very hot topic about robots I like very much robots. Lower labor cost is the reason often cited for off-shoring manufacturing jobs. So why would it be cheaper to use robots in India than in the USA? It's because only a fifth of the cost of deploying the robot is the cost of the robot itself. The rest of the cost is programming the robot, developing the tools and developing the manufacturing processes.

i vote for a programming tutorial because ive been programming for quite some time but want to figure out how to implement all i know into robotics

Actually a sensor tutorial would be useful, maybe a more detailed IR sensor?

Me too, although AVRs are clearly superior the little PICs can be handy.

Hey Admin, have you ever done voice recognition? It looks incomprehensibly difficult.

I would like an improved SMA tutorial. I want to build a very small robot with it.

I think if someone goes to the effort of hi-jacking a component for robot use, they should submit it. I plan on using the encoder wheel from my usb mouse for micro mouse next year. I was going to use the laser but the encoder wheel looks like a better/easier idea. Also, are all the tutorials located in place? I was skimming through this post and looking at all the tutorials which don't seem to be accessible from the tutorial section on the home page.

Hi

I want a tutorial on aesthetics and spray painting that would be good because I want to put camo markings on my spy robot

I would like to request a tutorial on how to build a BEAM robot from household electronics (I have almost anything in my house so the composition doesn't matter to me). Please

Arylic · « **Reply #223 on:** December 11, 2008, 05:34:28 PM »

I like robots a lot, i have been dreaming to make my on robots since like.....2nd grade. But i have zero skills at it. even the $50 robot seems complicated to me. So can you please make simple robot tutorials were there is no complicated circuits or any use of micro controllers and stuff. Just simple small robots which doesn't use expensive stuff. So i can work my self up.

Please it is a generous request.

a micro controller is what makes a robot a robot. what would this robot do

Farmerboy08 · « **Reply #225 on:** December 16, 2008, 06:10:49 PM »

Hi i was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to use a computer to control the robot?

Please and thank you

Armouralis · « **Reply #226 on:** January 09, 2009, 08:22:46 PM »

i would a programming tutorail that explains how the $50 robot is programmed

like what is a header file?
what is a make file?
whats a source file?

i looked at the $50 code and it is very complicated for a beginner to understand

a tutorial that explains how to program would be very helpful

(edit)
now that i look at it, on the vote, microcontroler programming is the highest now at 11%, so i am not the only one who wants the tutorial
thx in advance

hello
first of all i wud like to congratulate u on building such an excellent collection of text and tutorials on Robotics, bravo!

i want to build the $50 robot (doesnt matter if it costs more)
i saw the different functions u showed using the IR Rangefinder
i was wondering if it is possible if i wanted to build the same robot, but with multiple functions
suppose i want the robot to hav 2 modes of operation (using a switch or sth):
1. the object avoiding function &
2. the target following function

how do i do this?
do i need 2 different microcontrollers in this case, or can i just use a single 32bit one instead of the 16bit u used?
how do i write the program in this case for both functions?
plz lemme know soon...thanks

cooldog · « **Reply #228 on:** February 02, 2009, 06:16:08 AM »

you could put them all in 1 microcontroller and do something like

start up> object avoiding code> if (insert action here)> use target following code

Ro-Bot-X · « **Reply #229 on:** February 02, 2009, 07:38:48 AM »

Create functions for each program (ex. photovore, line following, etc.) and in your Main function just check some switches and depending on their configuration, run the specific function. This method requires at least 1 input pin from the microcontroller, if it's an analog pin, use resistors in series with the swithces and tie them all in paralel to the same analog pin. Depending on the resistor value, a different voltage will apear at the pin and you can use that to select your specific function.

i think that a new tutorial for everything that was in the poll would be good to suit everyone even though it does take time

How about a tutorial on C for us beginners, or at least recommend a book. I tired of PBASIC.

ysaid · « **Reply #232 on:** February 11, 2009, 02:25:34 PM »

admin,

could you, or someone from members, please write a tutorial on cell phone robot control, because it would allow vast robot mobility and relatively easy and cheap internet control - good for beginners.

there are a number of forum threads on using DTMF, but I believe many will appreciate a coherent tutorial. For example, there is little info available on how to send feedback from robot/sensors back to operator through cell network. Perhaps someone has experience with data transfer through cellphones and interaction with the robot?

Thanks a lot!

u got a point...
but I third the c tutorial thing...
(even though I know c++ pretty well)

How about a tutorial using two old cellphones for communication?

SmAsH · « **Reply #238 on:** March 18, 2009, 05:00:48 AM »

well first you get the first cellphone and dial in the number for the second cellphone and press the green phone.... lol im joking, what sort of data to you intend for it to send? im pretty sure this question has been asked and answered in the forums before.

dellagd · « **Reply #239 on:** March 18, 2009, 07:32:54 PM »

on the programming thing, go to www.cplusplus.com
it has basic c++ stuff, which can easily be used to write in c after looking at a few of admins codes.
