[Yaaarc] Re: Yaaarc Digest, Vol 48, Issue 9

[Janet Plato]

The JanBot is a simple, inexpensive robot used to
help folks get started in robotics.  The basic 
idea is to use double-sided sticky tape to mount
a pair of continuous rotation servos to a protoboard
and then add a low end PIC to it.  

The parts list is here:

I think Erik made a class sheet with some sample
code on it, I need to get a copy of that and
post it.  My long term plan is to provide 
documentation and training on it so that people 
can get started in robotics with a minimum of 
fuss, but it's been several years and I have 
not done much with it, nor have I maintained
the documents well.  I moved to Wisconsin for
a job and have not done much since.  The main 
page for it will always be my web page, noted 
above, but if I do anything noteworthy I'll 
update the wiki.

If anyone has code samples, photos of real
Janbots or anything else, please send them
to me and I'll work on posting them.

Thanks for expressing an interest!

Regards,

Janet Plato
