    Ultrasonic Range Finder

    I am doing a project for a robot and i want it to be able to sense walls and move back. I thought of doing this with an ultrasonic range finder, but after looking online, all the circuit schematics i can find for it are too complicated and/or require programming, and i can't programme. I am...

    School Project: Robot Vacuum Cleaner

    I know I will be using batteries, but I haven't yet figured out the self-charging problem, however, at the moment it seems too advanced as it would need the robot recognising where its current location is, and where the docking station is, calculating the route etc. I will not be going that deep...

    GCSE Course Work Project - Robot Vacuum Cleaner

    Thanks. I will use the serial module as it is automatic. But, i still have some questions ( i am beginer in electronics, so don't know too much), what is 0XFF, H-DATA, L_DATA & SUM? Where will they be used, for example how will i be able to program it, with what software?

    GCSE Course Work Project - Robot Vacuum Cleaner

    Thanks for the replies. One of the things that i really need to clear up is the ultrasonic range finder circuit. A website suggestion would be helpful too; i have researched on it and can't figure out where to start making it.
