Hello, sorry for the English!
This is my first programmable robot called W.S.T.R.1.3.
I built this robot purely for experimentation and also because it was something I had always wanted to do!
The tracked vehicle is the well known Catweasel.
I modified the insides of the Catweasel to take other drive motors because I was not happy with the plastic gearwheels and the amount of noise the drive produced.
It also houses the drive motor batteries.
The drive motors are controlled by an MD22.
The upper part of the robot is all aluminum and houses the controller, some of the electronics and a battery for them.
The upper part is also easily removable for maintenance and upgrading.
On the very top I mounted a steppermotor with an SRF08 and CMPS03 which gives the robot an ability to scan 360°.
MD22, SRF08 and CMPS03 are connected to a C-Control I v2.02 via an emulated I2C bus, I have provided examples in the download area.
The robot is not really finished yet and future upgrades I would like to do is add wheel encoders for measuring distance and maybe an SP03.
One problem the robot still has is that it will not detect objects close to the ground, I am still working on this.
