Re: Range finding/sensor advice

Hi, I've been working on a project simular to this.

My large scale project is to make a system for autonomous vehicles to use sensors to make autonomous decisions.

First I needed to learn some stuff and try things out. So for the past 2 months every day for about 6 hours my professor and I would meet at Barnes and Noble and work on an autonomous vehicle. So we set out to do a small auton vehicle first. We came up with lets try to make a vehicle that could drive to a light, and follow if it moved. At first I was planning on making my own vehicle but after exploring options I found an rc car from radio shack that would work. Heres a link to the car H2 Car.

So using pic chips and electronics we built our own driving boards and hooked them up to sensors and its working pretty good now. We made H bridges and used op amps and did alot... If you have any questions about how to do anything with the sensors or code email me at FirstJerseyKid@comcast.net. Im programming my car in "restricted" assembly.
