4-11-2012

Today we took a test at the start of class.  Then we were free to work on our assignments.  I picked out the new robot I wanted to work with for rest of the semester.  It is basically a shell with two motors, and we will wire in the components.  We were given a Parallax HB 25 motor controller and a well as a Banebot motor controller.  Our assignment is to wire in and program them to each run one of the wheels on the robot.  During class I disassembled the ultrasonic sensor from the previous assignment and moved the circuit board from my smaller robot to the bigger one.  I then attached the wires I'll need onto the HB 25.  That was as far as I got today, but I brought home the robot to work on before next class.
