The Million Dollar Furby: We can rebuild him. We have the technology. Continued from the previous Instructable where we excised Furby’s primitive brain , it’s now time to replace it with something greater. This Instructable will detail how to install a new microcontroller in place of Furby’s old brain, making him into a fully controllable robot puppet.

Essentially another tutorial involving controlling DC motors. In this post I’m going to first alter a robot arm I had built previously from a beginners kit so that it can be controlled from Arduino. Then I’m going to write a series of posts on different ways to control the robot arm using Processing and other things. You should be able to

Goals Hello all. I hope to please share a little robot that I have just finished building. There are many Ping Boat, perhaps with a tutorials and display less so without pretension, will illustrate what I could do. I gave myself the goal of realizing a robot that avoids obstacles, hence the use of Ping,
