==Context==
This project is started to get something tangible to do with an Arduino. As I am completely new to Arduino and only fumbled around with a Basic Stamp some 5 years ago, I wanted to get started with an Arduino Pro Mini clone from the [[ElectronicaComponentenAutomaat]].
Main goals:
*Get started with Arduino
*Impress a 2 1/2 year old boy with a robot

==Miller two-motor walker==
Based on the [http://www.beam-wiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Miller's_2-Motor_Walker_Tutorial Andrew Miller walker], it consists of two mini servo's that each control two legs. The Arduino controls the servo's through the servo library. The one-chip logic controller from the Miller design is left out completely.

To add a little more fun, a voltage devider consisting of two LDR's is added. The stroke of the rear legs is adjusted depending on the voltage and gives the walker a slight [http://www.beam-wiki.org/wiki/Photophile photophilic] behaviour. I say slightly as the walker has a turning radius of several meters.

==To Do==
Build an assembly out of [http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X50PCS+Photoresistor+GL5537+LDR+Photo+Resistors+Light-Dependent+NEW&_nkw=50PCS+Photoresistor+GL5537+LDR+Photo+Resistors+Light-Dependent+NEW&_sacat=0&_from=R40 50PCS Photoresistor GL5537 LDR Photo Resistors Light-Dependent NEW] to give an illusion of bug eyes. Probably, only a couple of LDR's will be used on either side.
