fast documentation of hardware and software projects
For a previous project involving stepper motors, I wanted the microcontroller to remember exactly where the stepper motor was even after power loss. There wasn’t enough time to attempt it then, so I thought I’d try something similar now.
There’s a Robosumo competition coming up. The microcontroller chosen for the job was the PIC 18F14k50. The sensors being used are Sharp infrared rangefinder (to locate the opposing robot), and IR colour detecting sensors (to detect when the robot has reached the edge of the ring). All of these sensors give out a voltage somewhere…
