Hi Zhengrong,
I think it is possible. Your Handyboard has to give a pwm signal to your
gyroscope. The gyroscope lengthens or shortens this pwm and gives it back to
the Handyboard. I haven’t ever seen drivers for a gyroscope, so you’ll have
to write these yourself.
I’ve got another suggestion ( I haven’t tried it yet): if your truck is
never more than 80cm away from a wall(->indoor activity) install two
IR-distance-measure sensors on the right and left side of your truck.
Example: If there’s a wall on the left of your truck the IR sensors are
detecting the wall and they are measuring the distance to the wall to your
Handyboard. If the distance of the two sensors isn’t the same (maybe the
left-front sensor’s value is 98 and the left-back sensor is 100) your truck
has to steer to the right until the both IR-sensors’ values are the
same(left-front: 100; left-back:100).
You could use the digital Sharp GP2D02-Sensor or the analog Sharp
GP2D12-Sensor. Drivers and a tutorial therefore are on the Handyboard page
and at http://reality.sgi.com/barry_detroit/GP2D02_1.html .
I hope you’ll get your truck moving straight,
Jan
