SUMO AVENTURE

This blog is intented for the documention of my development of a SUMOBOTS

Here's a Kamiakin HS SUMO

I'm beginning by trying to connect to the ATMEL8 chip using a usb device.
Presenlty I'm using the following test interface:

ATMEL AVR USB using Gentoo Linux

This entry is intended to document my development of an Atmel AVR Atmega8 USB interface using Gentoo Linux.
I've installed "avrdude" and the avrusb utilities. Here are a few links:

AVR DUDE

I'm presently using a protostack.com usb interface and a protostack development board.

This is my current error:cwc@tma ~/avrdude $ avrdude -c usbasp -p atmega8 -U flash:w:test_leds.hex

avrdude: error: programm enable: target doesn't answer. 1
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.


avrdude done. Thank you.

I'm going to check my solder job on the dev boards.

TC4424 WITH H-BRIDGE

After a lot of trial an error and a suggestion from David Cook. (http://www.robotroom.com/)
I got the h-bridge to work with a TC4424 Chip.
I'm using the parallel port on a computer
running Fedora Core 7. I also run the code from my laptop running
an up to date version of Gentoo. I'm using gcc c now to talk to the chip.
My next goal is to write some code to control some motors from the
RS-232 port. ciao cwc
