Dino’s new project this week is a Propeller development robot:
This week I decided it was time to do a project with the Parallax Propeller chip. I’d heard all kinds of good things about this MCU and since I have all these Roomba parts laying around my shop I figured it was time to build another robot. I wanted a robot platform that I could experiment with. One that could easily have other sensors added in the future. I had a Propeller MSR1 control board on hand which is perfectly suited to this purpose with it’s 24 IO pins and on board h-bridge. I also had an extra Parallax PING sensor to mount on my robot and a couple of those wonderful Roomba drive motors to move the thing. Next I needed a chassis to mount everything to. I had a plastic enclosure leftover from the Laser Ranger Finder project that was perfect. Now that all my parts were gathered together, it was time to get building.
