A new video showing some of the current capabilities of my chess playing robot. Built out of an extended Lynxmotion AL5A Robotic Arm in combination with a personally developed python library to give movement and coordinate instructions. The library PyLynx shall soon be available on http://flx.me

First Test of working guns/cannons on the X-BRAT project. Notice the small ammo hopper that was sticky taped on falls off at the end. This video is not meant to show shooting accuracy only that the guns are now working.

More to follow!

In this video three teachers from around the country built a simulated manufacturing cell using a Lynxmotion robotic arm and a Fischertechnics building kit. The cell contains a feeder, a welder, and a robotic arm with an electromagnetic end effector.

The cell was built by PLTW CIM teachers Joel Collins from Iowa, Wayne Ward from Tennessee, and Neil Werne from Indiana.

This is another itereation of the Lynxmotion Rover robot using a CMUcam2+ and Basic Atom Pro microcontroller. You can see it has improved tracking abilities now however it still looses track of the object on occasion. Future improvments will be for Rover to scan for the object with both the pan/tilt head as well as spinning/driving looking for it’s target. Will also get improved speed when I upgrate to 12V battery.

I am trying to interface a lynxmotion single line detector (schematic http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/data/sld-v1.pdf ) with an AT89C2051 MCU. The sensor has an output line called Signal which is High/Low depending on whether the sensor is on black or white. However when I connect it to the MCU, this is always read as Low. The sensor is not faulty since I have got lots of them. Do you have any idea as to why this is not working? What should I do?

Assuming that you have the sensor connected correctly to power ground and out put and that the uC and sensor are using the same 5Vdc supply…

Make sure that the pin on th uC(micro controller) you are connecting the sensor to is configured as an input. If the uC pin is an output and is outputting a low it would sink the sensor signal pulling the sensor output low and lighting the LED. If the LED is always off then the uC pin may be outputting a hi(5VDC) which would keep the LED off.

You would have to program the uC to configure the uC pin as an input

EDIT: Disconnect the yellow wire from the sensor that is currently connected to the uC input pin and verify that the sensor does worl with just the red and black 5VDC power connected to it. If it no longer works when the yellow wire is reattached to teh uC input pin then you are confirming where the problem is.
