That sounds good, but what do I use to drive each beacon, (e.g. send out the coded IR signal and sonar ping). Using a full blown microcontroller like the handyboard for each one would be incredibly expensive and wasteful. I only need a controller (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: optical mouse as sensor?

Hi Scott, You should consider taking the mouse appart and hooking up directly to the sensor. Most (all?) optical mice use sensors made by Agilent Technologies (formely part of HP). The early mice used the HDNS2000 sensor which had a PS/2 mode and a (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The problem with IR is that it tends to get everywhere, reflecting off of surfaces etc, so it's hard to triangulate. May I suggest a related but different approach. Make your beacons out of hybrid IR/sonar transmitters. The beacons will periodically (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am beginning to design a handyboard robot that, for starters, can navigate around a room. The idea is that it will travel to objects whose coordinates within the room are predetermined and interact with them. I plan to do this by triangulating the (...)
