The goal of the project is to create a robot that will follow a black line on a white sheet of paper and solve a maze created out of those materials. The project also included a list of specifications that were to be followed. These specifications are: The maze will have black lines, 1/4 to of an inch in width on white paper The maze will be

no larger than 10x10 feet. All paths meet at 90 degree angles Dead ends and loops possible Robot must fit in a 6x6 inch square Must be able to operate without a power cord Designed to finish a maze in the fastest possible time. Choose PIC18F2525 because it has multiple CCPs to allow for multiple pulse width modulators, it has _ analog inputs in case they were needed, it is compatible with the compiler software on our computer, didn`t care about a very fast clock speed Used analog sensors because they can be used as digital sensors and require less code to implement. The sensors used include the emitter and the receiver as one part (didn`t have to worry about the emitter and receiver working together). A switch is used to turn the robot on or off. When it is on it is connected to a power supply of 4 AA batteries with 1. 5 volts each for a total of 6 volts, this is considered the unregulated power. Unregulated power goes to a 5 volt regulator. Regulated power runs to the PIC, the H driver, the RJ11, and the 4 sensors. Unregulated power runs to the H driver as well. The robot decides its direction based off of the outputs of the four sensors. The robot has 4 different states, and they are: Forward, Left, Right, and Turn Around. The state priority is in this order: Left, Forward, Right, and, lastly, Turn Around. The four sensors are placed close together at the front of the robot. Each sensor has a corresponding LED that lights...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
