How to build robot-what to expect and things you should know


Like building a robot? Personal experiences, I can tell you that easy walk in the Park. And half the effort will bring you there. It receives Executive mechanical, electronics, programming (Internet technology), and perseverance.

When robots for the first time. It's a good idea to keep it very simple. This is because factors such as project timeline, costs and expenses, troubleshooting will be indefinitely. They are very well affect the progress of building a robot.

For the mechanical side, you will need to design the structure. The structure consists of individual components that make up the robot. Popular types of robots are usually of a vehicle type, or sometimes a more specific one; Robotic arm (the first project to perform challenging). Typically, the type of vehicles that have their own methods of robots, in this case, the wheels.

The wheels then driven by motors. Servo motors are used, usually for more precise control than their cousins ', ' DC motors and accuracy. What you should know is that you can control the amount of servo motors and DC motors ' only turn continuously clockwise and counterclockwise. That is how to move a robot.

You must then electronics to control these motors. To save money, you want to build your own ". Are made of a "microcontroller" and many other electronic (transistors, wires, etc). Think of the motherboard, electronics, like the brains for your robot.

As a result, you will also need to program the microcontroller. To do this, many people use programmers to load programs into the microcontroller. Otherwise, use the programmer to program the bootloader (hex file format), the first, and then in the future, you do not need programmer to load a program into the microcontroller. Instead, you can simply upload by using simple connection ("USB to serial cable, USB" cable "," USB "mini, etc.). Programming languages (c language, processing, Assembly, etc.) should be written first in the IDE (integrated development environment) on your computer.

Typically, the points listed above; Mechanical, electronics, programming should refer to you in the right direction and mood. Note also that it is the norm except for hundreds of individual project alone. As the engine typically is US $ 5-$ 40. Good luck.
