Sorry about TYPO - I mean Navigate...
I'm trying to get the Robot to go from the Lounge room corner to the kitchen - stop for a time period then go back avoiding obstacles along the way. I'm after a way to achieve this using ARC.
One idea I had was to use the recorder but that doesn't work - too much data. Another way is to script him along whilst using the ping obstacle detector (not sure you can do that). Anyway, I'm really keen to achieve this. If there is a cloud example or a series of EZ-B script commands I would really appreciate the example.
Thanks 
Thanks for the headsup Hazbot
HI Hazbot
Just got back from my holidays and been catching up on the forum .
Chechout this robot and nav program it may help you .

Its very informative hope it helps.

PS your bots been eating his weatabix m8 woow hes grown
If we could make a map of the site using a ping sensor with a servo mounted for rotation would be great. I think we would need rotary encoders on the wheels to provide reliable data of the robot position. Also we need a calibration conrol to coincide with the ping sensor in angle showing the software and the readings were correct. I suppose it would be a great challenge level programming and mathematical graph above convert sensor measurement data to a simple drawing table. But it would be a fantastic breakthrough in robot navigation. The idea is that the robot walk forward while the ping sensor moves left and right taking distance readings.

HI R2
Please see above link . that guy has already done it . we have just got to convert it to EZ-B . and bingo there is the mapping nav program we all need.

Wow thats my idea bought to life as you say Steve_C we just have to get it to work good spot
@winstn60
Yes like r2 said we need encoders so we can rotate 90 degress and scan in front and save the result to the map array . All the programing is there, just need to intergrate the sdk.

PS Have you checkedout the other features of his bot . some good stuff there.
Brilliant find Steve.
I love the idea of the robot using ping to calculate his movement forward and following a map. What I like about using ping is your not relying on light as you would with a camera, the robot could move around in the dark. If one of us could come up with the EZ-B adaption of this thing it would make our Robots totally awesome and my dream to have Bob come over to the kitchen for my morning weather and traffic reports when I get up for work could come true.
Lets all get behind this and see if we can come up with a working template we can all use. Thanks everyone for persisting on this one - we are almost there .

If you use the mood routine as well he may tell you to "get your own traffic report" . and go back to sleep
