Here's the latest project status:
The mechanical portion of the design has been roughed
out. I'll be posting some drawings when I finally get my
webserver up and running.
The electronic portion of the design is still early in the
research phase.
Looks like I'm going to be using Broccoli18
(or trying to) to do ICSP for the two
PIC18F8720 microcontrollers.
I'm a little confused about the Accelerometers. Not to sound
totally clueless, but, where are the leads? I guess I
have some research to do!
It also seems like I'll need to brush up on my PCB
fabrication techniques. Hopefully there's been some new
and exciting innovations to the process (i.e. "less
painful methods") since I last made a PCB. If anyone has
any insight or recent experience that would be helpful, I
would appreciate hearing from you.
I currently have the following parts:
- Two PIC Microcontrollers: PIC18F8720
- Three Futaba servos: FP - S148
- Two ±1.5g, High Precision, Dual Axis Accelerometers: ADXL203CE
- Two ±2g Dual Axis Accelerometers: ADXL311JE
(Tray of 50 FDK Stepper Motors: SMP20-2008- A.) Sometime this year would be nice!
