C-52EVB Robot Controller
The MiniBoard is an embedded system based on the Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller, which is widely recognized for its versatility in robotics applications. This board is equipped with various input/output interfaces, allowing it to interact with sensors and actuators effectively. The design includes a robust driver circuit that facilitates the control of motors, essential for the movement of robotic systems.
The C-52 Evaluation Board (EVB) serves as an additional platform for developing robotic applications. It is equipped with features that support the integration of various sensors, particularly for line-following tasks, such as tracking black tape. This functionality is crucial for competitions where robots must autonomously navigate predefined paths.
In a competitive setting, participants are encouraged to build robots capable of following a line, utilizing the capabilities of the MiniBoard and C-52 EVB. The challenge not only promotes technical skills but also fosters creativity among students. The incentive structure, including a monetary prize and a social gathering, enhances engagement and motivation.
The circuitry of the MiniBoard typically includes power management components, signal conditioning circuits for sensor inputs, and H-bridge configurations to drive DC motors. The inclusion of these elements allows for precise control over the robot's movements and responses to environmental stimuli.
Overall, the MiniBoard and C-52 EVB represent a significant step in educational robotics, providing hands-on experience in circuit design, programming, and system integration for aspiring engineers and hobbyists.The MiniBoard, a Motorola 68HC11 Robot Controller board designed by Fred G. Martin, also uses this driver. The day after, I then decided to prepare the page describing how to use C-52 EVB as a robot controller board. I asked my student for competition, build yourselves robot that can track the black tape. Prize for the winner is 100 US$, with a bit condition that the winner must pay for a big party at Soi Jinda`s Somtum (Papaya Salad) shop.
And one of the competitor is me. I thought the rule should be conceived roughly by students and technically by me. The picture on that day will put here soon. 🔗 External reference
