Getting Started Getting Started Congratulations on your purchase of a Seattle Robotics Society Level 1 Robot Kit! Here are suggested steps for getting your robot assembled and running. Read through the “Computer Requirements” and “Recommended Equipment” sections to be sure you have the materials you need. Compare your kit’s parts with the lists in the “Kit Contents” section to verify that you can correctly identify each of the parts in the kit. The sections after that work well as a tut

AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Assembly Instructions AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Assembly Instructions Preparation Identify the parts used in the AVR Robot Controller (ARC). Refer to the Kit Contents section for a list of parts in each bag. • Anti-Static Bag: everything except the QRB1134 light sensors. • Electro-Mechanical Bag: everything except the velcro, mounting squares, shrink tubing, and rubber bands. • Loose items: the battery holder, 4-conductor cable, and ribbon cable. It is recomm

AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Assembly Instructions Prepare Boards The PCB comes with a serial adapter and a programming adapter that need to be detached. First break the long line of holes. You might find it easier to break if you run a razor knife along the top and bottom of the line of holes. Then snap the two smaller boards apart. Finally, if you want, you can sand or file the rough edges smooth. Controller The control board has been designed with oversized holes to facilitate hand assembl

AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Assembly Instructions Small capacitors and LEDs The picture on the right shows the locations for: 8 - 0.1uF capacitors 1 - red LED 1 - green LED Orientation of the small capacitors is not important. Note that one of the capacitors (second from the top) will be under the microcontroller. Be sure that it sticks up no higher than the DIP socket (to be installed in the next step). You may need to bend the capacitor’s leads a bit to get it to sit close enough

AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Assembly Instructions Install Chips Be sure to inspect the board before applying power. Connect the battery pack to the 3-pin header next to the switch (JP13). With the switch in the on position (toward the near edge of the board) the red power LED should light. Now you can install the various chips. (Turn off power to the board first.) All chips are installed with the notch (pin 1) oriented away from the switch and voltage regulator (the notch is on the left sid

AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Software Tools Programming Cable The kit is supplied with material to make a programming cable that works with the BASCOM Basic Compiler or the AVRDUDE program (included in the WinAVR suite for C/C++ programming). BASCOM and AVRDUDE work with any third party programmer that has an Atmel 10-pin programming socket, so you only need to build the cable if you don’t already own a programmer. The programmer uses a male DB25 connector that plugs directly into a PC p

AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Software Tools Tool Options Free, high-quality tools are available for the Atmel AVR series of microcontrollers. On Windows systems, two popular options are the BASCOM (BASIC) compiler and the WinAVR suite of tools for C/C++ programming. Mac OS X supports the avr-gcc C/C++ compiler (which should work equally well on Linux and FreeBSD). The following sections each provide instructions for installing a compiler and downloading a simple program to your ARC board. Cho

AVR Robot Controller 1.1 Software Tools Double-click on “LaunchPN.bat” in the “C Samples” folder. This will launch Programmers Notepad with the path changes needed by the compiler and downloader. (If you installed WinAVR in a non-default location, you’ll need to edit this batch file.) While power to the ARC board is off, plug the programming cable into the ISP header on the board and the parallel (printer) port of a PC. (If you are using an AVRISP via a serial (or USB) port, you will need

Please refer to the chip data sheet (www.atmel.com) for a complete list of the fuse bits. The following steps set the microcontroller to the suggested state. If you are using BASCOM-AVR: Connect the programmer to your board as above, select “Send to Chip” from the Program menu to bring up the Sample programmer window. Click on th

Chassis Assembly Flip the top plate over. The screws will be visible, and the standoffs will be underneath (and you should have a hole in the lower right corner). Find this piece (the battery spacer), and hold it like this: You will mount this to what is the underside of the top plate (which is now face up since you flipped it over!) Stick the two mounting squares onto the battery spacer. Then, flip the spacer over and attach it to the top plate, as shown on the far right. The b

Wiring Connections Leftover Parts At this point, your robot is together and you’re probably wondering about those extra parts. They are used for Levels 2 and 3 of the SRS Robot. Here’s a summary. The hardware bag should still contain four 1” standoffs and eight 1/4” machine screws. They are explained below. There will be five plastic chassis pieces remaining: These two pieces are used to hold Sharp GP2D12 infrared distance sensors (part of the Level 2 kit). They mount on the front corner
