Today was a short video. But things are evolving. Keep up !!!

Again, great piece of engineering.

Thanks, but right now (I am ahead about 2 weeks) there are some serious problems that seem insurmountable. First one had to do with a "random" time delay which I cover in the next video. Currently, controlling the motors reliably has been very troublesome, so bad I rewrote all the code for velocity and position control and changed out all the motor control components with no success. Going to be a tough couple of weeks ahead to get the next video made! Cheers! Chris

@@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut In contrast to the common believe I'm convinced that computers are non-deterministic ;-)

@@GM-el2zb LOL I agree!!! I used to have Cats while growing up, I think Cats come back in a second life as computers. Most of the time they are great and wonderful things, then suddenly when you least expect it, hell unleashes a fury in them like no other and your week is ruined! Luckily this morning I found something in my code that may have been a "nasty cat" problem. First test I did after fixing it was great. Now I got about 3 days of testing ahead of me to see what else it messed up. Feeling good though, fist positive direction effort in over a week (my vacation week on top of it!). Cheers! Chris
