'BOB' V2.0

Step 5 Turn The Hardware Into A Working Robot!

Here's the code for BOB. There are a lot of comments in there to help understand what is going on. There's also 'commented out' code that either isn't being used, or is used for debugging. The code section that handles the ultrasonic rangefinder readings was made by another author; I got it off the Arduino site. Credit to that section goes to that author.

*IMPORTANT* : I have found out that in order to view the code, you have to open it in a word processor (Microsoft Word, Notepad, Wordpad, OpenOffice, etc.). For some reason it defaults to being a 'Windows Media TMP File'.

FYI: If I right-click on the file; select 'Save Link As..'; rename file 'BOB_V2_0.pde; I can open it by double clicking, in which case it opens using the default association you have set on your OS; or in the alternative, open your favorite editor (Arduino sketch or, in my case, Microsoft Visual Studio ultimate with the Visual Micro plugin (see http://www.visualmicro.com/). Works like a charm.

I was hoping for better commenting/documentation as my preferred method of code proofing is to simply read the comments for an overall understanding. In this case, however, the code is very simple, so no biggie.

I really like this design schema and may "borrow" some of the ideas for my own project. That is what is so great about these instructables!

Are you using an arduino uno or duemillonove? or is it an old NG or something?
