Botball 3 David Cook's Robot Room: Robotics, Circuits, and Machining Botball 2 Robots, electronics, Robot parts, invention, circuits Robots, circuits, projects, designs, building robots, and links. On this page are some of the Robots I have built in the last 25 years. Also provided, are links to Instructables I have done, projects, robot parts, and other information that might be of interest to electronics experimenters, inventors, and those who are building robots.

Botball Telescope Mount Motor Control and Modes of Operation Our program consists of a few main parts. The main state machine controls the user inputs, while two separate functions calculated the local sidereal time and the elevation and azimuth of the desired star to be tracked. Other functions include control for the keypad and the motor. Initialization Code This code initializes all the variables used in the project code and resets all state machines to their initial states. The initial date variables are set to initialized to Jan 1, 2004, 12 midnight GMT. Timer0 Interrupt Timer0 interrupt is called every millisecond. Timer1 Interrupt Timer1 interrupt is called every 1/1000 sidereal second. Motor Control Code: We wrote our own code to that communicated with the motor through the stepper motor controller.
