Talk:Cheesoid
- interact with the fridge for cheese status
- interact with the petrol pump for petrol status
- it needs to know where they are to go and talk to them
- the status needs to be stored and needs to be set - Xino at each?
- it need to be able to read the status from the fridge and the petrol pump - what sort of interface? IR remote control?
Petrol status
- just a number!
Cheese status
- many cheese types - each with use by date
- Primula status is "in tube"
Motor skills
- get motors from post office - DONE
- simple test circuits with 12V battery and driver ICs
- http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Labs/DCMotorControl
- datasheet: http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/IC/SN754410.pdf
- PWM for speed control - a two motor library perhaps with feedback loop via rotary encoder?
- mounting the motors and designing the axle couplings
- building the wheels : nearly done - some tweaking and securing to do
- building the plastic chassis - what's that display board plastic material called?
- milling the plastic
- strong enough to carry those batteries? !!!!
- battery mount - where?
- perhaps move to 2x 6V - keep it flexible
