The Scribbler/Fluke
We currently have a fleet of five Scribbler robots, four of which are
eqiupped for vision. Each robot consists of a base unit for movement and
sensing, made by Parallax, and an extension dongle for bluetooth and vision
called a Fluke, made by Georgia Tech. The Scribbler/Fluke robots have the
following features:
- IR distance detectors for obstacle detection
- IR line sensors for line-following
- stall sensor
- light sensors
- two-frequency tone generator
- pen holder in center of robot for drawing lines
- various LEDs
- battery voltage sensor
- color camera
Setting Up
- Start Python or IDLE by typing python or idle at the
Linux prompt.
- In Python/IDLE, type from myro import *
- In Python/IDLE, type init(ID_number) where ID_number is
the number located on the back of the Fluke dongle on the robot (or on
the side of the bluetooth dongle if your Scribbler does not have a
Fluke).
