A simple robot under construction "Robin v1.0"

A Simple Robot Tutorial

"ROBIN v1.0"

(On request by some friends).

I am making this robot completely on request, for the purpose of making Simple tutorial for making your own robot just for beginners (Note: not an expert level one, just a simple one for beginners , anyone can make it in simple steps . And coding is also not complex.) It will be based on simple AGENT PROGRAM (A.I)

Once I am done with this robot, i will upload a complete tutorial for making this robot on my website and blogs.I found a small broken toy car which had perfect tires , so decided to break it and decoded to transform it into a small robot.


This robot has no sensors , I call it as “robin v1.0” , in next robot I will add an IR [Infra red ]sensors and make it as an object detection and it will be “robin v1.1” , for now lets begin with our “robin v1.0”

I will use simple D.C motor and pic18f4550 microcontroller. Pic18f4550 is one of my favorite microcontroller because of its USB features. [to be very frank u can use 555 timer too to make my robin v1.0 , but since you cannot code a 555 and microcontrollers gives more degree of freedom to code, so I will go with microcontroller , plus u can code it the way u want it.] In My next version would be Robin v1.1, v1.2 where i will use Sensors and some complex motors like . Stepper motor and Servos. {PWM}



More details coming Soon

Keep reading, Thanks

USB Demo Interface Development Board (PIC18F4550)

USB INTERFACE DEVELOPMENT BOARD 

  

This is a USB Interface development board that I have made based on www.microchip.com forums , I made board to find a way to control my stepper motor or my relays and DC from computer laptop.

So I had to finally use microcontroller as SERIAL PORTS are not available in Laptops.

And as there are no LPT in laptops so USB to serial converters cables don't work.

Please follow my website for more.

Robot based on USB (PIC18F4550)

Robot based on USB (PIC18F4550)


Hey friends , sorry for being late , I was very much busy in my works and I was really finding it hard to manage time for blogging as I had my exams and I was working on some websites .

Here is my latest work,

Its a robot based On USB Interface , I have not used any stepper motor in it , but some high torque LOW RPM motors did job for me perfectly.

The robot is controlled with pic18f4550 microcontroller, the pins are interfaced with uln2003 and then finally to l293d (hbridge).To generate more controls i used some logic gates like AND and NOT gate .The firmware is programmed in MPlab.
The 360 degree camera view is provided with a kinda robot arm mounted with camera , which can provide view in both x and y plane.
The other features are motion detector,IR object detection, laser ranger , and also included a small blue ray laser to bust small things like balloon, tapes etc etc etc etc etc. its connected and controlled with USB, for the moment is wired but it can become completely wireless by adding just an extra wireless hub .
All controlls are generated with .net c# (visual 2010).

I am currently working very hard to prepare a detailed tutorial on this robot.
I will be posting then soon to my website
