Friday Night Robotics – Wild Thing

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Sunday, June 28th, 2009

This actually wasn’t on a Friday (Friday I was making an iPhone app), but rather Saturday. :D

Since the Sanguino requires too many female headers (which cost money, and I don’t have any), I decided to switch up to the Arduino MEGA. It fits in the box that is already there, so it is all good.

Originally I thought that the Wave Shield would work on the MEGA, but it turned out that it didn’t. What I ended up doing instead, though was using one of the MEGA’s extra Serial lines to send a command to another Arduino to start playing music (on the Wave Shield).

I used my iHome speaker thing that I bought at Walmart for $20. Pretty good value, and it’s purple.

It was pretty fun. However, I only used the motions that I created a while ago when MANOI’s knees were broken. A blog post is coming shortly about the previous FNR where I fixed the gears :D

I even attached a wild duck to MANOI’s head for the occasion:

Here is a video, it is not too good:

See, the problem in the video (when I had to shake it) was that the TX line to the SSC was loose. It does this from time to time. Especially after switching boards!
