''robot based on microcontroller''

[mohammed elzaq]

i have to do project ''robot based on microcontroller''
so, please help me to take adecision for the jobs of this robot.
if you supply me by circuits , please do. '
thanks

you can make a line follower. its really simple in construction and you just have to control two motors and get data from a simple optical sensor. then you can add improvements to the design like bumper switches and proximity sensors.

you can get alot of info for such a robot. just google and see for yourself. the EPE magazine did a great series on robotics this year. you should check that magazine.

but whatever you do, dont copy the whole design. try to make something yourself.

i hope that helps

hiii.. i want to do a project based on microcontroller fr final year. can u help me..

Help you in what?

Select a project?

Selecting a project should be your choice and the challenges that follows it, make it more interesting.

I recommend you come up with a project. Btw, you are lucky if you choose your project. In most universities the project will be offered and you should do it. Many universities now a days do similar project again and again? what is the point?

Did you benfit anyone? Ok you learn how to copy a project and do it? or learn the concept?

But i recommend doing a Project which is new using old concepts is ok, but try being creature and innovative that what give you fame and reputation.

Best regards,

Hesham Ismail

help compile

anabody can help me to compile this to hex program language. i don't know how to compile this language and what software use.

It looks like PICBASIC or PICBASIC Pro
**broken link removed**

 

[aladdin83]

anabody can help me to compile this to hex program language. i don't know how to compile this language and what software use.
end

this program is written in pic basic and the compiler looks something like the one in the following website,

PICBASIC Programming &mdash; Evolved | Proton Development Suite

but the free compiler they have doesnt work on all types of uC's so you have to figure a way to change the code to a similar language like C and then you will find more free compilers for C to upload the code to your ucontroller

robots using microcontroller

please help me to make the project

Hi Abhijeet.roy

You can take a look **broken link removed**. The tutorial helps you build a robot (from scratch) that drives to a light source.
