Geobot 2
For evaluating outdoor navigation, movements, and sample collection.


Above: The head rotates, lights with a dozen different combinations of lights,
PID drive is working well, robot sound effects are in place, and now we are adding a tripple axis magnetometer for
navigation.

Here is the latest
      on the Geobot. All testing and operational functions have been
      now added to the base firmware, including the following:

      
1. All motor controller
      and PID functions are now represented by driving speed and direction
      routines.

      
2. Head Lights
      are function controlled to select any combination of colors.

      
3. Head rotation
      via servo drive is done and working great.

      
4. All robot sound
      effects are easily accessible by function calls to the 232 interfaced
      sound controller.

      
5. A charging connector
      was added.

      
6. The magnetometer
      is in place and ready to wire to the sensor PCB inside.

      

        

          
 
          
 The
            Geobot shown here during indoor tests. The magnetometer mast
            and sensor dome is installed, and the wires run into the tower.
            This is the same unit used on the Plant Watering Robot and the
            8 pin controller chip is allready to use once I add it to the
            inner sensor pcb.
