Hi all,
I’m building an Autonomous Ground Vehicle and it’s coming along nicely except I’m having 2 problems—One) I don’t know how to actually get the (rc) car to go from one place to the next—Two) I’m having trouble with obstacle avoidance
But right now I really need help with the GPS. I’m using the 66 Channel LS20031 GPS 5Hz Receiver from sparkfun to get the GPS coordinates, and the HMC6352 digital compass to orient the car. How would I go about making the car orient itself and go from coordinates “x” to coordinates “y”?
I’m programming with an Arduino mega 2560, and using the chassis of the duratrax evader ext-2. I’m using a traxxas 12T 550 dc motor with the traxxas xl-5 esc. I’m using the stock servo for the duratrax evader as well. The car also has 5 IR sensors (Infrared Proximity Sensor - Sharp GP2Y0A21YK) to help avoid obstacles.
If anyone can, please help me with this!!! I appreciate it greatly!!
Also, at any request, I’ll post pictures (if that’s of any help)
Thanks a lot!
