This section gives some basic electronics and robotics information along with helpful links. I also detail a lot of my projects. For most of them I've included schematics. I use ExpressSCH for drawing them and ExpressPCB for designing circuit boards. They are a free package from expresspcb.com. You can download for free and get your boards professionally manufactured for very reasonable prices. Of course, with the final layout you could etch the boards yourself, but that's more hassle and mess than I prefer.
I have several projects I've completed or am currently working on.
- Sandwich - A line following robot built into a sandwich container. This project was from David Cook's "Robot Building for Beginners". You should check out his site at www.robotroom.com. He has a ton of great information and has written two books that take you from a complete novice through building advanced robots with microcontrollers and even aspects of machining parts.
- Monsters vs. Aliens - A project I helped a friend from work with for his daughters dance team. They wanted to build a robot from the movie whose eye turned from side to side and would have the iris change from blue to red light when a switch was flipped.
