Following are URLs that provide information I used to build the Propeller based tablebot I demonstrated at the February 2008 Home Brew Robotics meeting. I simply modified my existing JIFbot by replacing its MICROCHIP based circuit board with the Propeller Educational Kit breadboard wired according to the discriptions contained in the following URLs. JIFbot already had two continuously rotating servos, power switch and 9.6 NiCd battery. I used a second 7805 +5 volt voltage regulator for the servos. The spin software is significant in that it contains a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller algorithm that makes for very smooth servo control.

Look for entry containing PID Following PEKbot v0.90.zip by Andy Lindsay.
