Gps data he he!

So with some shameless leveraging of some code I now can get data from the gps module back to my laptop via the arduino environment! Now I need to wire in an hbridge, plug in the truck base, and write some code. Hooray!

Mobile platform coming together

So the car has been stripped and a particle board base has been attached. Now I need to get coding to see if there is anything I can get from the gps for guidance.

And so it begins...

I got my parts from SFE and fired up the blink sketch on the arduino last night.

Today I am working toward getting NEMA strings passed back from the gps. To do that I need to wire things up.

To wire things up I had to clip the connector and attach some heftier gauge wires.

Coffee on a Sunday!

The best part of the weekend.

Making Beer

So today I still do not have the Arduino nor my GPS for the Spark Fun autonomous vehicle competition. What is one to do? Clean the garage? Nah, instead brew up a nice porter and keg an ale. I've indefinitely postponed the Beer Db project after buying Beer Smith. It simply does a far better job!

Andy has an idea!

Trying out this mobile blogger. Hope to use it to document my SFE robot dev.
