On the breadboard, build two bi-directional motor control circuits (also known as `H-bridge`) circuits. These circuits will control the two DC motors that drive the wheels. Each circuit will have two wires from the Arduino (one for forward, one for backward) to control the circuit, and two wires from the single DC motor that it is controlling. You

should test your circuits to ensure you can control both motors in both forward and reverse directions. Here is a sample Arduino sketch you can use to test the motors. Edit the code to check each motor and direction, and double-check the circuit for any motor that doesn`t behave as expected. Here`s the schematic circuit diagram of one QRD line sensor connected to the Arduino. You will be wiring two of these, so your robot can tell whether it is on the line, off a little bit to the left, off a little bit to the right, or completely off the line. Now test that both QRD1114`s are operating correctly, and sending a proper signal to the Arduino. Here is a sample Arduino sketch to test the circuits. Make sure you are getting a good range of values from both sensors between light and dark. Make a not of the highest and lowest values you get from each sensor. You will use a value half way in between these for your "cut off" or "threshold" value. This is the boundary value we`ll use to decide if the sensor is seeing the dark line or not.
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.....
