Guard Dog Robot Project

I`ve got my new parts

I hooked up the MD25 controller and it worked “out of the box” with my lib written for the MD23. No changes , except removing the jumpers to enable I2C mode , as the new version also features serial interfacing via the same pins..

A little thought is needed in order to decide the placing of the SRF-05 sensors , my dual-axis accelerometer is very light weighted , ( which is a good thing ) the IR Photoreflectors will be added in the base of the robot so it will not fall from stairs , and maybe able to follow lines using purely hardware operation ( i.e. the onboard PC being switched off )..

Finally with the IR receivers plus IR leds I plan to make the robot be able to respond to remote control commands , and being also able to switch on/off electronic appliances ( TV , Aircondition , w/e )

All i need now is some spare time , cables , and maybe a new soldering iron ;P
