 Cybot came on
the market as magazine: every few
weeks new parts of the robot were delivered by mail. Soon after
the start people world wide started modifying the robot. The robot
should be programmable after about 1 1/2 to 2 years! Being
not so patience I removed the pre-programmed uprocessor and added a
Basic Stamp 2 to the robot. The basic functions like line following,
object avoidance and light following remained available. I also added a
IR tranceiver being able to control the robot with my IR RC. The Basics Stamp (and the software that comes with it) is very user friendly and gives an easy oppurtunity to get into uprocessors. The big disadvantage of the processors is their price (although the software is free). The Cybot magazine still is on the market, however since the big 'hype' is over no technical details are presented here. If you're are interested in this details you can email me. |

the IR transceiver (Parallax IR Buddy pair). This is used for IR RC
control of the Cybot.

processor board with the RS232 connector for programming and
communication with the PC. The PCB looks a bit messy but just a few
extra components were added. |
