Every time I watch the space invader and those cool space wanderer that landing on the moon and wandered around it, this made me felt excited.

If you never tried to create a house wanderer by yourself believe me, this is fun experience.

What to make one for yourself?

No problem but you needs to prepare these materials first:

• PIC18F6722 Dev Board and CCS compiler as main brain,
• Bend Sensor for feeler whiskers,
• Servo act as a turret wave for better view,
• SRF05 Ultrasonic Sensor for detecting the wanderer movement distance,
• HM55B Compass works as a direction/guide for wanderer,
• L298 Motor Controller to control the two motors,
• Wheel Watcher Module function as odometer (distance measure meter)

For the body, there are often woods (any types of woods) used but if you have a better alternative, you can still use them (highly recommended those that use the recycling materials) for the main materials.

Below here are some of the pictures of the works:

Enjoy the wandering moment! [read]
