That's the semi auto pilot I'll be doing first of all...

Some gyros and accelerometers will do...

Still I wait for that samples from analog.... hope they get here so I start working...

Anyways, I soon as I finish my exams, I 'll be working on it...

Cheers,
Lefteris

OK guys , I'm done with my exams and will start writing my article on July 1st ( i have a contest on june 29th )

what have you guys done so far?

benji · « **Reply #152 on:** June 23, 2008, 04:21:10 PM »

actually not much,, i still have a week to finish my exams

airman00 · « **Reply #153 on:** June 23, 2008, 05:51:28 PM »

ok so next week I'll send out a reminder to start

Hey Benji,

I'm somewhat experienced in programming... I wouldn't mind pitching in.

welcome to the team!

Sorry, didn't understand how to interpret your post, the link to your soon to be book threw me off. Am I on the team?

benji · « **Reply #157 on:** June 24, 2008, 03:56:35 AM »

hey photray , you can be one of the authors sure, just tell us what you are willing to write about
the book is called THE BOOK OF ALGORITHMS
so clearly you should write about an algorithm and a sample code implementation.
and you have to show how the algorithm can be usefull in a robot,,
you can still read this thread for more information
the main idea of the book its that we'r trying to make a second level tutorial in robotics
as we have the admins 50$ robot tutorial for the beginners
so we'r tryin to write about a little more advanced algorithms

i actually would recommend someone to write about PID and how to implement it on a robot,,as many questions are asked about it

airman00 · « **Reply #158 on:** June 24, 2008, 06:08:05 AM »

the link I sent you describes the project that is detailed in this thread. And yes you are on the team if you write an article. The guidelines for writing an article is on that page I linked you to.

Hmmm, well, you'll have to give me some time. Things are somewhat busy this summer so I'll see what I can do. No guarantees.

I have already partly done a maze flooding algorithm that can be included in this project when finished.

Its the maze solving part of this tutorial - http://www.societyofrobots.com/member_tutorials/node/94

harry, if things are ready show em to airman00 for checking

Hmmm... PID is pretty diverse. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I do know PID control algorithms are mostly used in large-scale process industries. I'll do some research for now.

But, I was thinking. What about a small section of the book that's a crash course on straight up programming? Although yes, it's assumed the reader has knowledge on programming before reading the book it'd be useful. I could write a huge article on C or C++ if you'd like. I'm much more a programmer then a robotocist, maybe this isn't the work for me

benji · « **Reply #163 on:** June 25, 2008, 04:56:56 AM »

id still urge u to do pid

and its not only in nig industries no, it can be used in robots (arms)

airman00 · « **Reply #164 on:** June 25, 2008, 06:20:35 AM »

we definitely need someone to do PID

hazzer123 · « **Reply #165 on:** June 25, 2008, 05:31:40 PM »

i could try to do it, but i wont be able to whip it up quickly, i have tonnes to do at home.

I have just made this flash app which can be in the tutorial when its finished. Here it is

Only Proportional control works at the moment.

When finished it will have all 3 P I and D, and some preset constant values which will demonstrate situations explained in the tutorial.

Whattdya think?

airman00 · « **Reply #166 on:** June 25, 2008, 05:49:49 PM »

nice work hazzer

I want to learn flash now , any tips or links for helpful sites?

benji · « **Reply #167 on:** June 26, 2008, 01:42:55 AM »

nice flash,, try to complete it and if you make a good explanation of how the PID works it would be awsome
you still have nearly a month till the 1st of august,,
if we can have some more intresting articles to be added and people cant get it ready till 1st august then
airman,,how about lettin it be on 1st spetember ?
i dunno, i strongly recommend this PID stuff

hazzer123 · « **Reply #168 on:** June 26, 2008, 02:15:04 AM »

Getting something done for the 1st of August will be impossible for me. 1st September is better.

For flash - there are some good video tutorials on lynda.com for flash. But if you are familiar with a few computer languages then after looking at a couple of source codes on the internet you will have no problem just diving straight in.

photray94 · « **Reply #169 on:** June 27, 2008, 01:52:41 AM »

I guess I'm not much of an expert in this field, so I'm not going to try to write a professional or even sub-professional article for your book. Trust me, you'll thank yourself. Lol, I hereby quit the team I never officially joined, sorry!

Kohanbash · « **Reply #170 on:** July 03, 2008, 05:27:58 PM »

Airman -
Is the book still on?

airman00 · « **Reply #171 on:** July 03, 2008, 05:32:37 PM »

ye for sure

I just got another contest due July 13 .... so it;ll be a little slow. I'll still be available to review others and arrange the compiling , etc.

what have you guys done so far, I;ve done nothing but outline my tutorial

airman00 · « **Reply #172 on:** July 08, 2008, 09:41:21 AM »

July 8th.......

I have some progress to report
I wrote up around 2 pages so far on line following using IR sensors algorithms

anybody else get anything done?

benji · « **Reply #173 on:** July 08, 2008, 09:47:08 AM »

not much,, still workin on my hexapod, it should be ready for action next monday
,,if no oe started yet i guess we should make it the first of september,,

all right , fine i guess

I have to work on that instructables contest anyways . Do you know if the winner is chosen by votes only or by judges as well?

Kohanbash · « **Reply #175 on:** July 09, 2008, 05:45:28 PM »

I wrote a draft last month... But I still have to go over it and make it readable.

Private Reid · « **Reply #176 on:** July 12, 2008, 07:21:28 PM »

i don't believe it !
It's actually all coming together !
Nice work !

airman00 · « **Reply #177 on:** July 17, 2008, 11:31:01 AM »

dudes we need more people writing articles!!!!

anyone gonna volunteer?

benji · « **Reply #178 on:** July 17, 2008, 04:04:53 PM »

airman is right , 5 articles is pathetic,,we need folks to write ,,and write good stuff

airman00 · « **Reply #179 on:** July 17, 2008, 05:40:48 PM »

I volunteer to write color detection and obstacle avoiding articles

thats a total of 7 now....

keep on volunteering people!
