I understand I haven’t been active in this blog, but I have been having some major personal issues which has been hindering my ability to put much effort into my work. Although this hinderence is still present, I am attempting to become more resourceful with the time I have between class and work (not very much, unfortunately). As I may have implied by random post-and-delete messages, I cannot wrap my head tight enough around programming to get any decent progress through any project. Recently I started learning C# and that is coming nicely, but I am still strugling as it just feels uncomfortable (not getting into detail, but I have already tried different forms of programming including functional programming).
So what I would like to bring forth today is the fact that I am working on a new electronics project. I am trying to re-engineer a basic controller (transmitter and reciever) circuit which will give full analog control over an radio controlled vehicle which origionally had its guts ripped out many years ago. The following goals are what is to be desired as the outcome of this project:
1) Analog Speed Control (Forward and Reverse)
2) Analog Steering with Feedback
3) Wireless Communication (Targetting IR Communication)
4) Battery Powered, Semi Battery-Effecient
I will post specifics and images later on when I get a bit more time, but so far I can say I am progressing. It also helps that I have people in my electronics class which are interested in the final result, which is nice to have actual encouragement. I am determined to complete this project within the next few weeks.
