The Great Line Following Event
January 14, 2010 by kcroboticsMarch 6th 2010 Meeting
January 11, 2010 by kcroboticsOur next meeting will be March 6, 2010 at Science City.
This will be the second of our hands-on meetings using the Arduino. Last meeting Vince showed us how to load the development software and how to load programs onto the Arduino. This month we will demonstrate how to capture information from line sensors and how to drive a motor controller. These will be the essential skills to develop a line-following robot using an Arduino. If you have an Arduino please bring it along with a laptop. If you don’t have an Arduino you might consider purchasing one. The demonstration will use the new Arduino Duemilanove, and the Ardumoto motor shield from Sparkfun. The discussion should be applicable to other Arduino’s and motor shields.
We will have a build session sometime between the March and April meetings. The build session will be a special meeting for members that want to work on their line-following robots in a group environment.
We need a volunteer for our April presentation. Please consider sharing your knowledge.
See you next meeting.

January 2, 2010 by kcroboticsWe have had trouble keeping the web site timely with the activities of the club. The Forum was just not really working. I did not want to move to a content management system like Joomla because it requires a lot of design, upkeep and has a rather sharp learning curve. So we are going to try the blog format.
Hopefully this will keep people more informed about the clubs activities.
