Welcome dGPS!

Hello everybody!

It's been a while since I've posted on here!  From Dexter Industries, they brought out their new GPS Sensor! We have been beta testing this for maybe 2 months!  I have a couple of ideas on how to test it :-)

1. Robot that goes around in the snow


2. Robot that draws a specific points (depending on what coordinates are)


3. Maybe a robot that will track a line on where I've gone (like a real GPS!)

Well, it's snowing over here right now, and it's about 20 degrees Fahrenheit (about -5 degrees Celsius), and I wanna make a SLEDDING ROBOT!  Maybe just a simple tracked robot that crawls in the snow!

The podcast is coming off at a slow start.  I can't start recording till about December 4th.  So, I'm just perfecting the script right now (since all of the news that I HAD written is now old news).  I made that promise that I will post it BEFORE Christmas, and I will try my hardest to make it that way!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Another datalogging experiment - GPS

Well...I made a new datalog experiment using the beta version of the Dexter Industries GPS sensor!  I logged the latitude, longitude, velocity, and heading, all with just one sensor!  It was about a 25-min. drive.  And, the sensor tracked us all the way from point A, to point B.  Here are some graphs for you to see:



It may be kind of hard to see, but by looking at these, we can see a few things.  First, we can see that I was traveling mostly North and East.  Second, we can see how many left and right turns I made.  We can see where I stopped and was going.

Thanks for looking at my website!
