Seedy the Robot!
Finally the robot is really coming together.
I got the display working last weekend. (An Osram 128x64 OLED), which was the final major untested component. I already got the quadrature decoding work. (And it can keep up with the motors at full speed.) The motor driver IC works, and so does the line sensor board; reading all 12 line sensors.

Also on the Robot front, I've been doing some playing around with the Maximum Robotics protoboard prototype. I just did some simple stuff, as with no solder mask it was getting tricky to get a lot of dense protoy stuff on there. This will be a great product though! The Mega164p/324p/644p are great processors, esp for robotics type applications. And this board is sized small enough to be Mini-Sumo legal. As well it exactly fits a standard Polycase box, making for really professional looking installations for those one off projects. So check it out. :) (Not a paid endorsement, I gave the prototype back so they could use it themselves some more.)

I picked up a few of these. (Ok about 40 of them) recently, and have been playing around. I know a lot of others have also been using them. So I decided to take one all apart, and look inside. Also I put up the documentation for the motor and gearbox for those that might find the information useful.
