basically the robot has 3 IR emitter-receiver(t-shop) ; front, right and left of the robot. I have done with building the IR part using a 555 timer and also have them calibrated by changing the intensity of the IRs.
The robot has two motors to control its movement. And i've also basically finshed the motor control part with the use of a BJT H-bridge. But now i'm having problems( actually no idea) interfacing the IR receivers outputs with the motor control.
Basically i want the robot to follow the wall at a certain calibrated distance and turn according to the wall and avoid any obstacles in its path. and i have to do it without using microcontrollers (its a project's limitation in the uni)..
I'm thinking about using some combinational or sequential logic to form the interface So any help is highly appreciated.
measuring your output current @ sensors, as well as input current needed to switch bjt's, should get you going, odds you will need a resistor between them
What dose the wall look like? You should be able to do this with analog circuitry but every varible would need to be hard wired. My 1st thought would be to use a "beam" robot light following circuit. Andy
