Hello all. I just came across this group today. I am in a senior project group at the University of Houston College of Technology. Our idea is to build a robotic fertilizer that will fertilize a square or rectangular space.
We plan on interfacing a keypad and LCD screen with a microcontroller for interactivity with the user. We also will need this microcontroller to be able control the motor so the device stops and turns.
None of us have worked with a microcontroller before, but we know C and Assembly.
Do any of you know what kind of microcontroller would be best suited for this task? And also what kind of motors best interface with microcontrollers...motors that could carry a 45 pound bag of fertilizer.
Thanks a lot, Blake
