It has been a long time since I last posted. Since then I have made virtually no progress on the droid body, but instead, I have plunged feet first into tinkering with a custom remote control system based on the R2 Builders R-Series controller.
I'm hoping to use two Arduino UNOs - one for the controller and and one for the transceiver. I have a Wii nunchuck for directional control and two Xbee RF modules to get the two Arduinos talking. I even think that I have formulas in place to manage a holonomic drive (not yet proven). I have thoughts of adding a 2.8" LCD display with touchscreen that will give the driver extra input and output options. This is still a work in progress, but it has been exciting and engaging to tackle.
If I actually get it working, I'll make it available to the public domain for anyone else to use with their sentry droid.
