After a lot of messing about with other stuff, Primus is now back on track and has the basic motion code written and installed. Movement within the maze is possible with steering off the walls to prevent collisions; fixed size moves and in-place turns are functioning; forward error detection and correction is working.

Well, it has taken a while but I have finally got the motion control properly underway. Code details will follow shortly. In the meantime, you can see the beast move on YouTube:

The sensors are a critical part of a micromouse. Primus uses six infra-red reflective sensors. Here is code to test that they are working.

This is a fairly big jump. With the LEDs and buttons tested, it is time to add the main graphical display, made from a Nokia cellphone display. Also, there is the main system timer event.

After a bit more thought, there is now a new set of pin assignments for the Primus micromouse, along with a corresponding schematic.

It seems I made a bit of a mistake in how I thought the dsPIC could drive its PWM module. Consequently, there will have to be some changes.
