Pffuh. That has been a long time since I've been able to
proceed on my project. Anyway. Finally got the nerve to
order myself some distance measuring sensors: two Sharp
GP2D02 (digital IR distance measures) and two SRF04
Ultrasonic range finders. Pretty cool stuff. I have placed
the GP2D02's on the left and right of the vehicle to detect
proximity to walls. The sonars I put in front. So I got
some software to write. For the GP2D02's I got some
routines of the net, the sonars I liked to do myself. And:
it works. I wrote this little assembly program to send a
pulse and count the time till its return. Amazing, huh? Now
I can build myself a true wanderer that doesn't run into
walls. I'll put the stuff on my website for you to see and
comment.
