It is possible that there are those out there that may be as bad at 'C' as I
am, so for what is worth, here is my code that is working. My bot,
Rug-Runner, with HandyBoard, has been wandering around my house for about
half an hour now without getting into any trouble, except on a throw rug
which grabs the tail wheel.
Rug-runner is a simple bot using converted servos as motors, any reversable
DC moter will work. It has two bumper switches that switch a ground to the
bit when hit. The scanning Sonar is the Polaroid 6500 unit with standard
unconverted servo. See previous messages for hockup. Please don't flame my
code. If you can use some of it, good. If you can't, throw it away.
It you would like any explanations or other info about this code, please
feel free to email me.
Good luck to all, and have as much fun as I did. (am having)
Larry
