Pic Circuits
The biped walker project serves as an excellent introduction to robotics and microcontroller programming. The structure, made from 2mm plywood, allows for lightweight construction, which is crucial for the walker’s mobility. The two RC servos provide the necessary actuation for movement, enabling the walker to mimic bipedal locomotion.
The core of the system is the PIC16F84 microcontroller, which is notable for its ease of programming and versatility in various applications. It features flash memory, allowing for easy updates and modifications to the code without needing to replace the microcontroller. The programming interface for the PIC16F84 can be established using simple circuits that connect to a computer or a dedicated programmer.
The project also incorporates a bar graph display, which consists of multiple LEDs that can visually represent data, such as the status of the walker or other parameters. This feature enhances user interaction and provides immediate feedback on the system's performance.
In addition to the walker, the project encompasses a temperature recording system that integrates a thermistor for temperature sensing. The thermistor’s resistance changes with temperature, allowing the microcontroller to read and process temperature data. A serial EEPROM is included to store this data, enabling long-term monitoring and retrieval of temperature readings.
Overall, this project not only demonstrates the principles of robotics and microcontroller programming but also provides practical experience with sensor integration and data display techniques. The combination of hardware and software components offers a comprehensive learning platform for individuals interested in electronics and embedded systems.A small biped walker made of 2mm plywood.
