Belated - Thank You !!

Mr. Peter Oakes and Mr. Mark ?? mcb1:

 

THANK YOU for responding to my CALL for Assistance.

 

My six year old Grandson and I are greatful for your

help in our effort to build his first Mobile Robot Design.

(His design, Grandpaw is just "Fabicator").

 

A Robot, made of wood, standing 4 Ft. tall and controlled

by an old junk R/C T/R interfaced to the UNO R3 which

controls L/R Motors for propulsion. Rudder channel turns off

Left or Right motor for steering and Throttle channel is PWM

ANDED with Rudder for forward speed. PVC Arms move up

and down using elevator channel. Head turns left and right

using aileron channel. (Still working on previous)

 

All "Home Built" under his direction. I am hoping to give him

the introduction to Math, Engineering, Physics and Chemistry

I was fortunate to receive as a child living next door to a "willing"

professional electronic  engineer !!!.

 

Thanks again,

 

Beau Palmer, BSEE

Senior Engineer

Telecom Transmission

(retired)

    Hi Beau,

     

    You might want to go over to the Maker Shed website.

    They have a lot of ebooks, tutorials and ideas about making.

    Both you and your grandson can find lots of ideas and help from their staff.

    Nice to see the flame being passed on.

    You did right by trying and then asking when stuck, there are too many here whom don't try and expect someone to hand it to them.

     

    I'm sure you both got pleasure from it, and will lead to more.

     

    Any pictures?

     

    Thanks

    mark
