L.I.R.P. is a robot that uses LED's to indicate operations.
It uses two IR rangers, IR proximity detectors, and 2 bumper sensors.
each sensor has related LED's. Right and left proximity LED's show
you when something is seen to the right or the left. servo LED's
indicating servo direction. 5 LED's that show the IR rangers output
while following a wall. Each of the 5 LED's show what "range" the wall
is in. each bumper has its own LED's that show when it has touched
something. It also has a 10 LED bar graph to show light levels.
This is a very fun robot to watch and I am at the current limit of the
OOPIC controllers voltage regulator. I have used every I/O line on the oopic.
this robot uses alot of the power the oopic has. this is my third robot
and I think its turned out pretty good.
