Thanks to all of you with suggestions on robot projects. I think I've got one nailed down. The snag I've run into so far is that I need to find a cost-effective way to give my robot limited vision. I need it to do a 360 degree scan of its environment, read the sensor at set intervals, send it to and A/D converter, store the values in a RAM memory, then analyze the values to get a rough picture of its environment. Basically, the final result needs to be an array of values that reflect the surrounding area where the value will give the computer an idea to determine where objects in the room begin and end. This is a crude method and prone to error but I figured the other option was to do a scan at two different places to get a binocular view. But that would require a lot of trig functions, not easily implemented in 6802 assembler language. If anyone has done a similar problem I'd really like to hear about your results. -BOB
