I assume thats what Flid is up to with his I2C based compass sensor.

Right :wink:

I think it would be good idea just give robots a simple couple of CdS sensors connected to A2D port so that you could locate a light source and walk towards it.

Or maybe with I2C camera from wiimote like i-Bot hack :wink:

When huno is walking forward, he drifts maybe 5 degrees to the left per step. I think i have seen similar problems in other folks videos on youtube, etc.

Anyone know if this is a basic-pose issue (i.e. i need to try harder), construction issue around one or more of his joints, or a motion issue (stride for one side longer than the other)?

Either way, I suspect the solution is to modify the stride motion to correct, and i may investigate changes to the stride to allow him to turn whilst walking anyway, but wondered if others had identified (and resolved?) the issue themselves in the past?
