Walking robots? that shit is HARD, you need accelerometers for that

Well they are very basic kits and programs we use at our high school but still...

I would love an oscilloscope, only way I know how to do frequencies is with math and pray I've soldered the resistors and capacitors correctly

555 timers have a very limited frequency range

Bro making the robot walk is fun

But making it do something like pick up things is harder

Depends if it’s automated or not to me at least

^^^

I knew people 20 years ago trying to make the chicken walker with PIC, serial 8 bit tech, 9v alkaline batteries, mercury tilt switches

they FAILED

No like programming it to walk

very very very hard

You're better off trying to make a blinking LED system

It was

One funny hack you can do is the LED traffic display system and change it into something rude and funny

That's very easy

I had a good robotics teacher

u know

I bet he taught you to use motor driver chips with very limeted amperage

Alright, @nielsapie has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

?

My teachers sucked, alll they did was just expect a robot from thin air

how

Did you built it yourself

Or they gave you the materials

If you can remote control a dc motor to go back and forth very cheap very easy I would love to know how because I can't get the threshold voltage to switch a pFET with a 9v battery

They gave us materials, but didn’t teach us ;-;

Alright, @nielsapie has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

I've got some good books

That sucks

So we basically had metal and wires

comooooo

why

i know how to code a robot some shiz through java

That what they have to teach tou

Alright, @nielsapie has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

at least, i can make a robot have controller input

Yeah, but I managed by making friends with a person who excelled in the class

baby steps, control a motor to change direction first with an H-bridge first

It took me 5 months to build it

aka i know how to make rc boyos
