Subject: [alt-beam] microprocessor for a six leg walker
I'm currently working on a six leg, solar powered walker and have been
considering using a microprocessor for taking care of high level commands
and decission making. I am using traditional beam circuits to take care of
the walking and balace of the bot but I'm planning on using a microprocessor
to take info from touch sensors, light sensors, sound sensors and IR
obstical detectors and then make decissions based on the sensor inputs and
control the direction of travel.So, I would need around 15 I/O and sufficent
memory for a program, and since I'm using solar power I would like to stay
below 5 volts. I've looked into basic stamps, but would like to know if any
one else has any experience/info/tips on what type of microporcessor would
be best for the job. thanks
