Initialization of the Boe-Bot

Yeah! Exam is over and I can fully concentrate on the project works.

The second robot did not arrive in expected time, due to various reasons, but luckily it is confirmed that it will arrive soon.

The guide book come together with BoeBot kit is comprehensive, which make the robot initialization become a very enhancive learning process. I doing the initialization according to the flow chart shown in left.

The Subsystem testing includes write small programs for testing the microcontroller I/O, testing and centering the servos.

Assembly the robot kit is really a fun job, it's like dream come true kind of feeling.

There are some sensors included in the BoeBot kit can be used for navigation. Like tactile navigation with Wiskers, Light Sensitive Navigation with Photoresistors, also can navigate with Infrared Headlights.

For the wireless communication, the plan is to adapt to Bluetooth and all robots as well as servers are equipped with Bluetooth transceivers, so that within the wireless network all info can be shared.

The Localization implementation will be talked in later days.
