PBP projects for R/C models

Another 'minor' problem. The new HPI Sprint has the steering servo mechanically opposite my older car. With this car steering right is smaller PWM pulses. Steering left is larger.

Soooo Things are working as they used to. My problem now will be getting a reaction time that is reasonable given the speed of the car. I have not taken it to a gym or outside. When I hold a big cardboard in front of the car it does turn. Soon enough? We'll see... I can slow down the wheels, but this is supposed to be a race car.

It worked better before I went in and to get my video camera. However, you can get the idea from this clip. There are still some mysteries with the HPI's new Electronic Speed Control SC-15.



Little by little....

I think the car is been autonomous enough and wants to escape now! Was very funny how it got away under the white car!

Keep up the good work Ken.

This afternoon I taped a two minute video in which my new HPI Sprint car ran autonomously around and around the inside of our garage. The radio transmitter was turned OFF during the whole episode. At no time in this piece did I interrupt the PIC control with the radio control. I was operating the video camera.

What do you think?

Very nice!!!
Almost looks like it was "thinking" after it hit something.

If I have recorded the checksums how can I know which version of code is on my PIC?

The PIC KIT 2 programmer has a READ button. Does that read the contents of my program memory and display for me to see its checksum?

I have not figured out on-line debugging. Actually I have not figured out a great deal of stuff in this system.

Yes, it will display the checksum after it reads the code from the PIC chip.

You could use the verify button. It will compare the file loaded onto the pickit from your computer to what it reads on the PIC chip. It will notify you of any differences.
