Wireless Remote Control of Power Wheel Chair 
This describes how to remove the receiver board from an R/C car and use that and the original transmitter to create Wireless Remote Control of a Power Wheelchair for about Twenty Dollars! Here's How on http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Twenty%20Buck%20Power%20Wheel%20Chair%20Wireless%20Remote%20Control&itemParent=304 Duration: 3.45 min. Views: 23 Rating: 5.0 Edge Detection On Converted Power Chair Robot 
This is part of the "Build a Robot From a Power Chair" project. Here we have added an IR Distance Detector and are using it to tell the Robot Power Chair when it is too close to a nearby object. This was done by erecting a paper "curtain" on the deck, then allowing the detector to be placed via double sided tape. This allowed me to use the conical view of the IR detector to even get around a corner. In the demo shown here, there is only one IR detector, I would prefer one at each corner. The control board is the same as in the original video minus the tape to hold it together. We've come up a notch to tie wraps, pretty classy. Build it at http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Build%20a%20Robot%20From%20A%20Power%20Wheelchair%20Part%20Two:%20Sensors&itemParent=302 and we move closer to ??? Duration: 1.22 min. Views: 36 Rating: 5.0 Build a Robot From A Power Wheelchair.wmv 
I bought a power wheelchair with the idea it was the best way to get cheap motors and a framework for a "big bot" that I could use to haul junk and do robot sorts of things. Learn more about it and "how to" do one yourself at http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Build%20a%20Robot%20From%20A%20Power%20Wheelchair&itemParent=294 My wife kept telling everyone I had a Power Chair - So I hurried up and put the thing under picAxe control, so my wife would now say I was working on a Robot - From a Wheelchair. Now it is an official Robot. There is more to do. I want to make a set of sensors. And I want to make a remote control. I want it to be autonomous, but I want to tell it what to do, and let it figure out "how." Now I have the base unit under computer control, so all the rest is adding fun! Duration: 4.02 min. Views: 591 Rating: 5.0 Build A picAxe 18M2 Five By Seven Display 
Application where picAxe 18M2 directly drives the dot in a dot matrix display. This chip can run fast, so we turn on the speed and you get a high refresh speed that let's the digits appear as if they are standing still. This video shows a couple of versions of the software. The non-flickering version shown at the start is actually what should be at the beginning. In my haste to put this video up, I kinda messed it up. The whole project and descriptions thereof are available, as usual at C What I Can Do http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Light%20A%205X7%20LED%20Matrix%20with%20picAxe%2018M2%20&itemParent=290 Enjoy! Duration: 3.10 min. Views: 102 Rating: 5.0 Home Built DIY Robot 
Uses PicAxe 18M2 to drive Servos for Head, and drive the inputs to an L-298 Motor Driver Board. I used a couple of heavy duty gearmotors like the ones driving the RFL Robot. With 8 cells of battery power, this little guy gets around on a charge. Like the funnest Robots, this one is Autonomous, it not only avoids objects, it looks around measuring the distances with a sensitive IR detector. After slowly prowling around, it will speed up again. The design is pretty basic, but the 18M2 provides both motor drive and servo drive independently, so there is a lot of program space and internal power to make this thing behave in interesting ways. Parts, instructions, and tricky items are available as usual at C What I Can Do's website. http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Build%20a%20Respectable%20Autonomous%20Robot&itemParent=286 Build One Now! It's easy and fun... Duration: 2.82 min. Views: 543 Rating: 5.0 picAxe18m2.wmv 
A quick video along with a short article on CwhatIcanDo.com describing the new picAxe 18m2 chip. I was in the middle of testing an 18x driving an LM-298 motor driver board. I had a couple of servos, and you know what a problem that is for a picAxe... So I blew out the 18x and found the 18m2 on the rev-ed site. They were talkin' about the m2 and what a great chip it was. It was! I ordered three of 'em from SparkFun and the Fun began. It's a pretty amazing chip. Not only are the "normal" timing issues gone, (You can drive a servo and do a PWM at the same time now. Better still you can actually run a process that lets your range finder feed you distance from object data so you can decide if you need to slow down when the walls get close. I'm putting together a fairly complete unit. Still looking for the perfect dogBot setup :-) Let's see what we can do with all this program space and extra data space. And those lovely 4 processes running at once. Already I can react to the IR in some imaginative ways. I'm still testing but... Duration: 1.27 min. Views: 443 Rating: 5.0 Trakr Spy Gear's Video Robot 
This robot is the best all around, lowest cost FunBot ever! I hate to sound like such an enthusiast, but it seems the people who put this bot together were secret Hackers. It's wonderfully programmable, while I haven't gotten in deep enough yet, It sure looks like this is going to be quite a bot to mod/hack. For a kid, I'll bet this is a top toy! I would have loved to have one of these when I was a kid. I'm looking at all the possibilities, and some of the promising improvements they could make, and it feels like were on to a solid robot base here. You'll see, there's even a website for those who are going to hack it. It isn't functioning yet, but the URL works, and there's a picture or two. Let's hope these guys have plenty of time on their hands to be more active especially on the documentation. I sure hope they do, but if they don't, no problem, I've already got mine, and I can already see how I can move the camera elevation remotely with a servo. If I can't get to the cpu in the bot, I'll put my own in. You can always use another processor around the house. Duration: 3.38 min. Views: 4994 Rating: 5.0 Lion Robot: Home Made Robot

Duration: 0.90 min. Views: 66 Rating: 0 Build A Robot Easy and Cheap 
Great weekend project, uses a commercial box, two continuous motion servos, two "head" servos, batteries and beeper. This model has minimum functionality, but is expandable to larger picAxe chip for larger memory and more "curious" operation. Easy and simple to build and program uses mostly servo commands to create a pretty cool looking robot, similar to the parallax Boe Bot. Lots easier to build. Details on http:/www.cwhaticando.com. Build yours now! Duration: 2.72 min. Views: 16546 Rating: 3.909091 Put a Modern Scare Crow in Your Garden 
This is a scarecrow designed for modern times. It is solar powered, uses state of the art mylar film with holograms that throw light all over your garden. I have two of 'em in action in my garden and they make a rustling sound while shimmering. Birds and bees like to avoid 'em. Thus, a modern age scarecrow is made. You can make one too. Another great project from CwhatIcanDo.com. Duration: 7.33 min. Views: 502 Rating: 5.0 weekend project: low cost robot - RumbleBot Under picAxe Autonomous Control

Motorola's Droid advertises itself as a "DROID" which can do work for you. But what about using the DROID as a control center - The Brains, so to speak, of the Robot?

Using Motorola Droid to visit a javascript page on ilysa.com/car.php. While I apologize for showing it jumping around the screen - I didn't mess with it. So it jumps, but it shows the potential for robotic control via simple javascript commands embedded in a web page. So would a Droid make a good Central Robot Control potential? You'd have to develop an app, but it does seem possible. Can you use all the available powers of the Droid to directly drive a motor controlled base via the serial port? Answer is most likely YES. Can you create a segway-like two wheeled bot that depends on the built in compass, GPS, and camera and accelerometer to make the robot work? I dunno the answer yet, but it's gonna be my next robot project to find out! Duration: 0.97 min. Views: 1114 Rating: 5.0 Virtual Robot Plays Online!

Mute it. Based on picAxe IR outputs. Works for Sony, others, you have to experiment... Wear the darn Mute Button... Yeh, just hit mute and the TV sound goes away. Low current runs for weeks on a rechargeable battery. And I love mine!!! Dontcha just hate it when the TV commercials are super-compressed with some high-pitched "pitch agent" yelling about this and that and if I don't have one of these, I'll have no life... They are so noisy I find myself yelling, "Mute! Mute! Who's got the clicker??? Mute it!" That was then. This is now. With my trusty muter at my side I can shut down the noise whenever I want.

Put a simple motor controller with an IR detector on this old R/C model, the Tumbler. The picAxe motor drive is a simple picAxe 8m motor controller. It uses the IR detector to drive pin 3 (Interrupt) on the picAxe chip. This makes a controller which I can use to test out various bot configurations, as I buy up the local market for used robots and R/C toys! I found a source for these broken toys at between two and four dollars!

A very simple robot using two gearmotors, a picAxe motor controller, An IR Detector, a battery pack with switch built in, along with a piece of wire and a plastic bottle cap. Wrap the whole enchilada in tape, mount the motor controller and IR detector and you have a cool little Bot Bot style Robot in less than 5 minutes. Reminder: Some of you are forgetting to make sure you have picAxe 08m chips. If you use an 08, there are no interrupts. You can write your own code and instead of using the interrupt, you simply loop through and check to see if the IR is triggered (It thinks it's a high), or better still set a flag that is checked a lot.) This won't work as nicely as does the 08m solution on CwhatIcanDo, but you can get your robot running!
