Battery Charger Docking Project

Hello Team,

Well I'm diving in on this project. So it's sink or swim. The discussion thread for Automatic Battery Charger Docking is still open for those who wish to keep brain storming on the topic.

We decided that it would be better to start a separate thread when someone started their build on this project as each one will probably be unique for each individual's home or tastes in design.

I know Fred is doing one Home Base Finding Design Using A Ir Beacon Idea

And I think Technopro is working on one at Ir Autonomous Home Base

So kick back, grab a cup of coffee and try not to fall asleep:D I decided to put down all my thoughts and plans on this subject and work through a scenario (tailored to my home) to help me understand just what will be involved in all this. There will be a bunch of scripting to accomplish this (Rich are you available to assist?) and lots more hardware issues I'm sure. I will en devour to post schematics and pictures as time permits.

Please...please, everyone who dares to wade through all this project, let me know your thoughts and criticisms. Poke holes in my theories, help brainstorm, whatever. All comments are welcome.

AutoDesk make the best though. What do Adobe make? Can't say I've ever come across anyone who uses adobe for cad, just AutoCAD or Vectorworks.
