He's Alive! (Again)

Indeed, I had a power problem - but not only that, I also had a coding problem and it has taken me weeks to figure out how to proceed.

I completely disasembled the bot several time and finally figured out how to power each servo motor independently because a single 9v didm't provide enough power to move three motors and the sensor.

Then I went back to the simples version of my code. In this version, the ultrasonido sensor is not yet live because I just wanted to get everything actually working before I try to manipulate it to do specific actions.

Next Steps:

• walk forward
• detect an object
• look left then right
• determine the best course foward to avoid the obstacle 

But for now, I feel this sense of relief that I can finally move forward with new code as everything is functioning. 

Meet BB2A.

And here is the code for this iteration. 

#include <Servo.h> 

Servo frontServo;

Servo backServo;

Servo neckServo;

int centerPos = 90;

int frontRightUp = 72;

int frontLeftUp = 108;

int backRightForward = 75;

int backLeftForward = 105;

int lookLeft = 15;

int lookRight = 90;

void moveForward()

{ 

frontServo.write(frontRightUp);

backServo.write(backLeftForward);

delay (125);

frontServo.write(centerPos);

backServo.write(centerPos);

delay (65);

frontServo.write(frontLeftUp);

backServo.write(backRightForward);

delay (125);

frontServo.write(centerPos);

backServo.write(centerPos);

delay (65);

} 

void sweep()

{

neckServo.write(centerPos);

delay (125);

neckServo.write(lookLeft);

delay (125);

neckServo.write(centerPos);

delay (125);

neckServo.write(lookRight);

delay (125);

}

void setup() 

{ 

  frontServo.attach(2); 

  backServo.attach(3);  

  neckServo.attach(6);

  } 

void loop() 

{

     moveForward();

     delay(150);

     sweep();

     delay(150);

}
