EDGE AVOIDING ROBOT USING 8051(iBOT)

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Edge Avoider Robot is built using the IR based Line Detecting Module. The modules are connected in front of the iBOT so as to detect the edge early and take proper action in time. The distance between the sensors is also maintained greater that the width of the iBOT considering the turning radius of [...]

Getting Started With TRIC

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

In this article we will learn how to Create Projects, Edit Source Files & Compile using TRIC…
STEP 1
To create a new project file select New Project from the Project Menu. This opens a standard Windows dialog box asking for project file name. Generally its a good idea to save different projects in different folders. [...]

ACCELEROMETER WITH ROBOT USING 8051 (iBOT)

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Accelerometer is a device which is used for measuring the acceleration and the tilt angle of any body over which it is mounted. The output of an Accelerometer IC is in terms of variable voltage linear to the acceleration or the tilt angle. So accelerometers can used in lot of applications as two wheel balancing [...]

WALL FOLLOWER USING 8051 (iBOT)

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Wall Follower using iBOT or 8051 is built using TSOP based infrared sensor
module. The Right module is used to detect the wall on the right of the iBOT.
Wall follower application can be built with only one module, but we are using
the other sensor to avoid obstacle in front of the robot. The Right module is
connected [...]
