How about a self-balancing robot: http://www.tedlarson.com/robots/balancingbot.htm There are many pictures and videos at that link you can feel free to use. All the balancing on the larger robot is done using a PIC18F452, and on the smaller one it is a PIC18F252.

Hi. I am looking for a couple of "show cases" where a PIC was used in a fun and simple way. Two that comes to mind are Rob Hamerling's "Christmas Candles 2002" project and Herbert Graf's "CarMon" project (maybe not "entry level", but nice anyway...). Any other simple projects that comes to mind ? It's nice if there is some web page with a few images of the finished project that I could print on a OH film. Note, I'm not going to "use" the project as such, just show them as PIC examples. I'm going to talk for 12-20 min in a second grade technical school class, and try to get a couple of them to run a PIC-based project. The project will at the same time be an evaluation of using PICs (or rather microcontrolers in general) on this level. So the emphazis is on *what* you can do, not *how* you do it. None or just a few technical details. Nice/fun images are better then techincal details. Any ideas ? Best Regards ! Jan-Erik.
