The Components

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

So for this entry I will explained about the components that I used:

• Roboduino Romeo

Romeo is an All-in-One microcontroller especially designed for robotics application. Benefit from Arduino open source platform, it is supported by thousands of open source codes, and can be easily expanded with most Arduino Shields. The integrated 2 way DC motor driver and wireless socket gives a much easier way to start your robotic project.

• Ultrasonic Sensor URM37 V3.2

This sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require you to perform measurements between moving or stationary objects. Naturally, robotics applications are very popular but you'll also find this product to be useful in security systems or as an infrared replacement if so desired. Sensor measures distance using sonar; an ultrasonic (well above human hearing) pulse is transmitted from the unit and distance-to-target is determined by measuring the time required for the echo return.

The URM37 V3.2 Ultrasonic Sensor uses an industrial level AVR processor as the main processing unit. It comes with a temperature sensor which is unique in its class. The sensor has unique three output mode (PWM, RS232 or TTL) which let it easy to adapt to most devices and applications. The sensor provides one channel servo control output which can be used for sweep function.

• Rover 5 Tank Chasis (DF055)

Rover 5 is a new breed of tracked robot chassis designed specifically for students and hobbyist. Unlike conventional tracked chassis’s the clearance can be adjusted by rotating the gearboxes in 5-degree increments. “Stretchy” rubber treads maintain tension as the clearance is raised.

Inside of the chassis are 4 noise suppression coils at the bottom and a battery holder that accepts 6x AA batteries (not included). It is recommended to use NiMh batteries as they last longer and have a higher current output than Alkaline batteries.

Each gearbox has an 87:1 ratio. The chassis can be upgraded to include four motors and encoders making it ideal for mecanum wheels.
