How to Build a Self Navigating Robot

How to Build a Self Navigating Robot

This is a detailed tutorial on how to realize a robot starting from scratch, and giving it the ability to navigate autonomously in an unknown environment. All the typical arguments involved with robotics will be covered: mechanics , electronics and programming . The whole robot is designed to be made by anyone at home without professional (i.e. expensive) tools and equipment. […]

8 Channel Programmable Timer

8 Channel Programmable Timer

Introduction I have been using Microchip’s PIC range of microcontroller for my projects since 1993, and have done all my programming in assembler language, using the Microchip MPLab IDE. My projects ranged from simple traffic lights and flashing LEDs, to USB joystick interfaces for R/C models, and switchgear analisers used in industry. Development took many

USB to Serial TTL

USB to Serial TTL

For some of my PIC projects I need a serial (RS232) interface to print some messages on the screen of my computer. I still have a desktop computer that has one RS232 interface but nowadays most computers have a USB interface instead. You can buy devices that convert – TTL – RS232 signals to USB
