Wide Skill Spectrum by Building a Robot

Feb 202013

These valuable learning materials are partly derived from Robot Builder’s Guide of Fred Martin, the course notes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Wide Skill Spectrum by Building a Robot

When you build a robot, you are dealing with Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic and Computer Technologies with the Interfacing.

The improvement in the Wireless Communication, Low Power Hi-Speed Semiconductors coupled with compact gigabytes of Flash/HDD may help build a Creative Robot with a smart brain.

Sections Cover -

Basic Mechanics- Describes basic mechanics, friction, and simple machines. Basic Electronics- Introduces the concepts of charge, current, voltage, and components. Circuit Board Data PCB and Schematics too.

3 axis stepper motor driver using a single RS-232 port

Stepper motors translate digital switching sequences into motion. They are used in printers, automated machine tools, disk drives, and a variety of other applications requiring precise motions under computer control. Unlike ordinary dc motors, which spin freely when power is applied, steppers require that their power source be continuously pulsed in specific patterns. 3 axis [...]
