Week 8

After complete the mechanical part last week.....
Now it is the time to continue the software part for my robot..... 
Software is like the engine inside the car.....
If the car have not engine, how the car can move????
It same goes to my robot...
It need the circuit to give the instruction to the mechanical part working....
I use the ARDUINO software for my robot!!!!!!

This is the steps for the software part:

Step 1:
- Design the ARDUINO circuit by using the DIPTRACE software.
- Convert the ARDUINO circuit to the PCB circuit.
- Design this circuit in the schematic circuit after that convert to the PCB


Step 2:
- Print the circuit on the OHP paper by using laser printer.
- Stick the OHP paper on the PCB board. Make sure all the paper surface close to the board.
- Iron the circuit on the PCB board until all the black line of the circuit stick on the board.


Step 3:
- After iron the circuit about half and hour, let the circuit cold for a few minutes.
- Pull out the OHP paper on the board, carefully during pull out the paper and make sure the black line stick on  the board.



Step 4:
- Etching the circuit in the acid



- The PCB board after the etching




Step 5:
- Scrub the black line on the PCB board until got the gold line.

Week 6 and Week 7

WEEK 6

After done all the task week 4 and week 5, the robot has the problem..... 

This picture show the robot's leg is not stable...

This robot it can't to move properly because their legs like that...





How I solve the this problem is design back the robot and change a few material to get the stable robot to walk. 


Step 1: Telephone holder
- Change the telephone holder to this shape


Step 2: Servo motor
Zip tie them both in place using the hole that I have drilled in step 2




Step 3: CDs
-Zip tie the CD to the motor in such way that the motor is at the center of its rotation point and the two outer holes are perpendicular to the telephone.





Step 4: Bolts
- Tie the CD and servo motor with bolts at the center.




Step 5: Robot
- This the result after make a changers on the previous model of the robot.
- The robot is more stable and can walk like usually



WEEK 7

This week, I have complete all the mechanical part on my robot...

For the next step is continue with the software part and the circuit for my robot..
