Hi all,=0D
 I am an master student in robotics and automation, and I am building a h=
exapod robot for my dissertation. Could you please give me any informatio=
n about sensors available for mobile robots especially legged ones. I kno=
w that there's a book around but I can't afford it. So is there anyone ki=
nd enough to tell me what sensors i could use and brief information on ho=
w to interface them (h/w & s/w interface) with 16f877 or at least any web=
 site giving such informations. The ones that I am currently using are si=
mple IR photodiodes (18 to 20 degrees) for object recognition, photoresis=
tors (LDRs), ultrasonic and I am bit confused about the type of contact s=
ensors I could use. A web site would be enough, but could u propose a typ=
e of contact sensors and especially a good Tilt or INCLINATION sensor. i =
am currently using a tilt switch which is off at 90 degrees. Imagine the =
robot to get an inclination of 90 degrees until the switch goes off!!!! I=
 guess there's no coming back from that state. Anyway any help would be g=
reat. Thank you guys.=0D

yours,=0D
