New Joiner - Saying Hello
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 4:04 pm
Hi All,
I just wanted to say hello and how useful I have found this site.
I am a retired electronics engineer. I got into 1:16 tanks last autumn when I was looking for a vehicle base for a Raspberry Pi project and bought a Heng Long Tiger1.
I used the lower hull for the Raspberry Pi project but was caught by the 1:16 Tank bug and upgraded the Tiger with a new hull.
After Christmas I decided that I would like to have a go at building a late version Tiger1 so started collecting parts, including another Heng Long Tiger1 which was a shop return. This is now coming along fine, albeit with a few compromises, but I am fast approaching the vexed problem of painting it, particularly the camouflage pattern:
Doing my research for the Late Tiger1 I came across this forum which has been really useful.
I am looking forward to participating in this forum.

.) However I am hoping that I can also use this to measure the distance travelled. The next stage is to change the program to see if I can get it to explore and map its environment.
