Moving Toward Home

A project log for Blinky, the Companion Robot

Blinky, a robot, lives with you, feeds itself and will--when asked--report that you have been seen moving around.

Blinky now has vision and is able to move toward a "home" target.

The camera is connected to the motor controller according to the schematic below.

Here's what the top of Blinky looks like with his two Arduino controllers.

We're not approaching the target color in a controlled manner that would allow for docking--but stay tuned. The vision and motor sketches for the Arduinos are posted on this site.
