Brain change 2. step

ok, so now i needed to connect the Arduino mega, with the old cpu socket.
I got the inspiration from  a site i find searching for "grau goes color"
He pulled apart a Tianchen TC-G158 robot. This robot is a cousin of the Supoman, using almost the same motherboard layout, so i started using his psuedo drawings, and most importantly i used this drawing as a basis seeing what my motherboard contained.
MY board was a bit different.. For one the cpu, while still being a 32pin STC12C5410AD, wasnt in a lqfp-32 , mine was in sop-32 package.
Mine also has an IR sensor pointed downwards, this being connected to another multiplexer, thats always pointed at the sensor.. i guess its a buffer or something
So i had to trace the functions, and heres my resulting IO list.
The sheet also shows how i linked it to the mega.
The mega then was powered, from the old stc's programming connector, connection pin 1 & 4 of the programming port, to the micro usb.
Then off to ardumover  to get some software, and off we went to start testing.

The support department

So I called the support department to get some support. I wanted it to go the other way around. No luck in doing that, no instructions or otherwise. But. He was interested in some development, and I thought I could use a new hobby. So I got an updated robot, an extra motherboard, a list of different arduino parts, a stack og lithium ion batteries and off we go

The beginning

So..I  bought a robot lawnmower, a supoman, called rotenbach In germany. And being me, I didn't think it did a good enough job. It didn't cut the entire lawn, in one go. It went the wrong way around the garden. I couldn't put the charging station Where wanted. And it gets stuck too often. Not nearly good enough so of course, ill hack it.
