Happy robot fun
Oct. 1st, 2012 11:32 pmBeetled off to Brighton for the weekend, which was something of a curate's egg.
'The quantum thief' is really jolly good, isn't it? I hoovered it up in half a day spent in some hotel rooms and a slow train back to Bristol.
Right now I am hacking on interrupt code for t'Arduino, because obviously there has to be a dead stop followed by swearing when yon robot hits something.
Although. I wonder if the logic might be better the other way up? This stuff's hard, but fun. Moderately simple problems in very constrained environments. Or at least, the responses-to-the-outside are constrained. The outside world isn't, which is also part of the fun.
I am also very glad that I pulled the 'wiring loom' from some horrible old PCs. Plenty of muti-pin headers on long bits of wire.
