Digital Media Project

Last Friday I was finally able to finish assembling and building the Robot Kit. The soldering was the most challenging for me. I find my hands aren't very steady when I want to do something that requires precision, such as soldering wires onto the pins of the motor shield and the terminals on the two Gear motors.





I am quite happy about it so far.

Programming
I have tested it using a test sketch/script using the Arduino environment.

Here is a video of the Arduino robot using the test sketch..

I Had to modify the code as it wasn't running very well.. Essentially, I was unable to get most of the code to work (I am currently looking into why) so had to strip most of it off in an effort to get the basics working. Currently, all it really does is spin in each left and right directions in an endless loop.


I Uploaded it to my youtube account because I couldn't do it on Blogger. Sorry for the bad quality, used my old nokia 6500 to record
