Solutions Cubed is proud to introduce a new arm of our business. DroneCare Inc. Drop off your kids any time and our specially programmed drones will ensure their safety, track and record their every movement, and eliminate any would-be threats to their well-being.
DroneCare Inc. "Relax, we've got your kids in our sights."
Coming soon. TeenCare, with new anti-pregnancy programming.
Here's the same design, but without the Arduino clone. Just the dual motor and quad servo controls.
An Arduino compatible controller with the ability to control 2 DC motors, read 4 servo pulses, and output 4 servo pulses.
We've linked to our online store via the Facebook application tabs (right hand side under our banner image). Please have a look.
For robots that don't have wheels.
We're testing some boards in the lab today. An engineer's job is never done.
Playing with SketchUp during our week off to design a robot chassis.

Built a train set for the kids last year, and the motor controller is still going strong.

Here's the Arduino shield test board we developed to test Arduino code on our open-source breakout modules. Sping-loaded test points and wire jumpers galore.
Should be posting some Arduino code for this module in the next day or two.
Our first 5 open source hardware modules went up on our web site today. And our second 5 units finished preliminary testing earlier this week.

One of our engineer's found a Tomy Omnibot 5402 in his attic from his childhood (promo video http://youtu.be/3SHW_JksR-o ). What should we do to upgrade it?
We received the open source hardware module PCBs. They look pretty good. We're using board edge castellations, in addition to through hole mounting, in case people want to surface mount the modules.
Today we're laying out a PCB to test some UDT-455 photodiode-amplifiers. They'll interface to a PIC32 Ethernet starter kit from Microchip. We're going to try to use the DMA in the microcontroller to create a fast ethernet analog-to-digital converter.
We're producing 10 open source hardware modules, see more on our blog. http://solutions-cubed.com/open-source-hardware/
Amongst the laser, power supplies, motor controller, oscilliscope, and other expensive tools for this project is the most useful of engineering items. A decade old solderless breadboard.
Build big, really big...

Here's the SketchUp diagram of the plate that holds the servos and carries the hinge mechanism. This will be used for the cleaner rev3 version of this design.
1/2 of the 4-wheel deployment prototype. Needs a lot of work, which is why I started using SketchUp for the design.
We received this photo from Tony Ellis, who is using our Motion Mind 3 controllers on a robotic chassis prototype. This looks pretty awesome.
