Sounds good. A portable spotlight
That seems the best so far. I have some light sensors.
The teacher has an open 150watt incandescent bulb and an extension cord. Hmmmm....
Try again,
The teacher has a portable roadside emergency light. He or she runs around the gym, the toy cars follow. Maybe the gym lights need to be dimmed.
The fact that TOY cars have bang-bang controls ought not to inhibit the PIC control code.
I like it. Why won't it work?

What is this thing americans have about this fish?
Maybe the culture is different, but I really cannot understand it.
Anyway as a project has fun!

Always wear safety glasses while programming.

Oooh well, I did it I guess!
I was watching another thread and answered this instead off. The other had a video with a talking fish....
Sorry!

Justification of my robocar project
The New York Times published this article last weekend about a car made by Google that can drive itself.

My 32bit Whackers arrived today
I received two 32bit Whackers today.
Can I attach them to my PICkit 2 Programmer?
Will the following get me started?
http://www.schmalzhaus.com/UBW32/
New project. 1/10 scale toy car bang-bang controls. Follow the bright light code. Three PHILMORE 10807 photo cells sticking out the top where the taxi sign belongs aimed - depending on the10807's reception pattern - forward, leftish and rightish. (I image 45 to 60 degrees from straight ahead.)
If the car can see the light at all, then it can follow it. If the car can not see the light it must turn a 360 until it finds it.
I see this as the HELLO WORLD of a teach-the-teacher robocar professional development seminar. Maybe I'll use the new Whacker because it has embedded development code. Maybe the PIC16F887.
Your thoughts?

Yes, jumper J5 will accept your PicKit2, so you can program the device. You should only have to do this about once. All other upgrades of firmware can be handled though the StickOS, using the USB cable.I received two 32bit Whackers today.

I hadn't noticed before, but it looks like it is preloaded with some other "language". I think you are better off with StickOS though. So I would dowload it from here: http://www.cpustick.com/downloads/St...v1.80c.elf.hex and load it into the UBW32 with your PicKit2.
And follow the StickOS documentation, located here: http://www.cpustick.com/downloads/stickos.v1.80.2p.pdf
All above located on this site: http://www.cpustick.com/downloads.htm

Are you sure your pickit is plugged in right because it should be verifying the I'd. Mine was verifying air, so that's why mine has that waring
