Want to delve a little deeper into a microcontroller’s internal workings without becoming a masochist?
This project is for you. Originally built as a training robot for a lecture series conducted by the Dallas Personal Robotics Group it has since been featured in MAKE, Volume 29, and has proved to be an excellent introduction into robot building. The robot’s controller is an AVR ATTINY microprocessor. It perceives the world using sensors made from low cost and easy to obtain discrete phototransistors and IR LEDs. Tiny Wanderer’s code employs a programming construct called a state machine to govern its behavior. Our parts kit contains all the electronics that you need to build the Tiny Wanderer.
Please note: This kit does not include any of the laser cut parts from the build. You can laser them yourself, cut them out by hand, or pick up our complete kit which includes everything!
