I want to make a complex robot. To keep it simple right now I just want the
robot to send video, temperature, and altitude. Maybe even some other things
later on. I was thinking I can go digital or analog. When would you use
digital or analog? I would think that analog would be easier because all the
sensors and video would be in analog. But yet isn't it true that digital
would be much simpler for manipulating the many signals? The easy part is
getting the sensors and video to work, and then sending their signals to
another device. Doesn't a multiplexor combine signals? Is there anything
else that combines signals that I might want to use? What I will send to the
robot will be control signals for servo's and such.
I know I'm going to need to do studying to learn what I want to do. I just
finished reading two very basic electronics books. The books were Getting
Started in Electronics and Basic Electronics. Both are Radio Shack books.
What should I read now to help me reach the goal that I currently want to
achieve?
Lots of Thanks,
Jon
First of all keep in mind I'm a beginner. I would appreciate the groups help
in directing me for my project. This is something I have always wanted to
learn how to do. I think I want to make a carreer out of it.
From point A, I want to be able to take a video signal and other signals,
combine them into one, then send them out via radio. Then from point B
receive them, decode the signal, and use the video and other signals, for
whatever purposes I need. I also need to be able, from point B, to combine
other signals minus video this time, and send them via radio to point A, and
at point A decode those signals and use them.
I can see many steps and components involved in getting this to work, and
would highly appreciate the groups help.
Thanks,
Jon
