The project goal is to build a battery powered azimuth and elevation antenna positioner, using inexpensive hobby servo motors and gearboxes, for portable operation. This project allows portable satellite tracking is done automatically (operate hands-free).
This low cost distributed motion controller system consists of two units: a USB-CAN converter and a dual axis controller. The USB-CAN converter uses the PIC18F258 and a FTDI FT245BM USB interface chip to translate messages between the USB and CAN buses. While PIC18F458-based dual axis controller is kept busy implementing servo/stepper trajectory and PID calculations […]
The Papilion which is mean butterfly in latin is control system for a simple two-wheeled, differential-steered robot based on ATMEGA169. The hardware consists of the AVR butterfly kit, a chassis which is made of aluminum, the two servo motors and a battery holder (providing 6V), a servo power switch and a little board for connecting […]
The SNAKY project goal is to build a robot moving around using the same crawling principle of a snake. This ‘fun robot’ is made with a set of thirteen articulated sections and the angle between each pairs of sections is driven by a servo motor (so twelve motors), simulating the muscles of the snake. Each […]
