GENERAL OPERATING
robot that follows a light, for example from a flexo .
This proposal shows how you can build a robot that has a well-defined behavior (going to an intense light source), with very few electronic components, and in a configuration that is easy to build and understand.
When the switch is activated, starts the motor powered at 1.5 volts, as it closes the circuit where it is. Also closes the circuit to 3 volts fed controls the second motor.
When it reaches a large enough light to the LDR (LDR) transistor (Darlington pair) is set to be live by the collector and therefore is operated this engine as well.
WIRING DIAGRAM
essential components are the LDR LDR and NPN transistor
4.2. The electronic circuitry.
To mount the electronic circuit there are various possibilities. Perhaps the most interesting is on a printed circuit board designed for this specific circuit, among other possibilities.
By way of example shows a possible circuit mounting on a printed circuit board designed for this purpose.
This figure clearly shows the tracks (paths of copper) and circle the place where they connect the pins of the components soldiers, all viewed from the side where the tracks.
printed circuit boards are two sides to the bottom (side track) and the top (component side).
Components.
- A double switch, that is capable of opening and closing
two circuits simultaneously. In our case a double switch.
- A LDR is the sensor that detects light.
- A diode
- A resistance of 1 kilo ohm.
- A variable resistor of 10 kilo ohms.
- A Darlington transistor TIP 120.
- A battery for two 1.5 volt batteries AA size.
- rigid or flexible cable connections. Macaroni
- shrink.
- Connection terminals (terminal block).
- pieces of plywood or plastic base to make a switch and limit switches with antennas.
- adhesive Velcro strips.
- perforated plate or printed circuit board to
How do you make a PCB?.
b) carried out a design on graph paper tracks the face of real size, which corresponds, of course, with the circuit diagram.
c) The design is passed onion.
d) Cut a copper plate for printed circuit boards to size for the previous design.
e) Stick the onion design in printed circuit board cut.
f) mark the sites of the legs with a nail and hammer, eye does not hit very hard, just dial.
g) Draw the design again but now in the printed circuit board with a permanent marker. They usually work very well Edding 3000 model.
h) Prepare a dislución of 1 / 3 of hydrochloric acid solutions, 1 / 3 of hydrogen peroxide of 110 volumes
and 1 / 3 of water. This solution is a highly corrosive acid, therefore we must take extra security measures such as use of special gloves, tweezers,
ventilation, etc.
i) plate is inserted in the acid. All copper corrodes least that is protected by the painting with the pen. Acid is removed and gets into water.
k) takes the indelible paint with a cloth soaked in acetone.
l) minitaladradora was drilled with a drill 1 mm holes design.
m) components are welded to their respective places, the eye must be borne in mind that the design that I'm giving you is the face of slopes (see below). This welding is done with the soldering tin and tin.
In the copper plate after scoring with a marker edding 3000 circuit tracks you miss an acid.
The acid is composed of:
- Aguaoxigenada of 110 volumes in 80 ml water
- normal H 2 O in 80ml
- hydrochloric acid in 80 ml
In the copper plate will be 16 holes with the mini -drilling, using 3 terminal blocks for engines and the RDA.
also be used: LDR resistance, 2 motors, a diode, a transistor tip 120, a resistor and a potentiometer 1Kohm 10K. Once made
holes and inserted the components in the corresponding site, they will be soldiers with tin.
This is the tablex with idler wheels and semi-mounted with the plate:
The plate is securely in place and the circuit works perfectly except for one track that made contact and had to scrape copper ua track played with other which made the plate failed.
The engines are mounted on the tablex and only need to mount the battery, the idler and the integrated circuit.
The tablex is cut and you have the motor and idler connected.
need connections with the other plate and the mounting plate tablex.
