Welcome to my Summer of 2004 website!

This is the webpage of some stuff that I have done for research here in the Engineering Department of Swarthmore College with Professor Erik Cheever and Simeon Realov '06 during the summer of 2004.

Prof. Cheever decided to create a robotic head system for didactic purposes for teaching incoming Engineering students how engineering projects are created. Thus, with this plan, he implemented some ideas on how to create such a system. The work shown below are the results of his ideas, our implementations and work.

Below are some PDFs of the schematics of our work. If you cannot view PDFs on your computer, you may need to download Adobe Acrobat.

Animated Head Board, v.1. This PDF shows the schematics for the first prototype of the board. This board had some problems with it that were corrected in v.2. The problems that we had were mixed up wiring between common voltage (GND) and VCC (+5 V).
