The Final MARV…
This is a shot of the completed MARV. In the photograph below you can see that the 12V SLA has been mounted as well under the top plexiglass.
The robot is now truly ‘plug and play’, and below is a shot of the modular ICSP cable, which is about 2 feet long,
Overall, I feel a bit disappointed that I do not have the time to implement on-board PID control over the wheel velocities, interface the quadrature encoder feedback with the QEI interface of the MCU or finalise the Linux Command Application.
However, this is all discussed in detail in my thesis and that takes precedence over a simple demonstration. C’est la vie, and here’s a final shot of the robot…
And a couple video clips of surface testing of the final demonstration routines - move along w1, w2, w3 and then spin on the spot in both directions and stop.
Smooth surface test:
Rough, cobble like surface test:

LOL...!...
Thanks to a tooth ache, I cannot sleep due to the constant throbbing and have been working through the night for 6 hours straight....that makes it 28 hours of working on the robot since 10am on the 22...
The subject title says it all. There really isn't much to report apart from the fact that all the hard work gone into MARV culminated into a meeting with my thesis supervisor and a simple demonstrati...
