Friday Night Robotics – Adventures with ATmega328

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Friday, December 5th, 2008

During the week I was testing various things and shields to see if they worked okay with the ATmega328. The wave and motor shield worked okay, but the WiiChuck library did not.

I don’t even think it’s a problem with the new avr-gcc or the board- the code for the shield is made for Arduino 0012, whereas the WiiChuck library wasn’t. Lots of people have problems with Arduino 0012, it has so many bugs compared to Arduino 0011. :(

My plan is to have two Arduinos going: the 328 would be controlling the SSC-32 and the Wave shield. It would listen for input, maybe a few numbers, and move the robot accordingly. The numbers would be sent from the other Arduino, which is using the WiiChuck code.

I can actually expand on this idea more and get another few Xbee Kits and an Xbee so that the two Arduinos could talk wirelessly.

Here’s a picture of when my ATmega168 flew under a cabinet-thing =) :

Oh yeah! I’m getting a Sanguino with super shipping, so it should be here really soon! :) Thanks E.V. =) =)

(Then I’ll have to re-think my robot AGAIN! Hahahaha)
