My Robots and circuits!
The upper portion is for my robots, some custom designed, other tooken out from the internet and books.
The lower portion is for my circuits, which may be my Binary Clock, 555 circuits, or etc.

KALSABER v1.0
KALSABER v1.0
Krumlink's Autonomous Light Seeking Advanced BEhavior Robot v1.0
DESCRIPTION
SABER is my finest robot yet. It has a light tracking head on the top, with 2 sets of sensors on it for maximum readout. It has 3 H bridges, 3 motors, a set of reversing circuitry, lots of wiring and a lot of time into it. It works great, and it uses the Rflex1 Robot Body, utilising it to the max. I took many pictures (and soon a movie) of SABER, because it is quite the accomplishment. The entire concept is based upon by me, and It includes modified circuitry from existing circuits. As you may notice, the sensor board has been rebuilt and salvaged from Spaghetti, my first robot, which was a line follower.
OPERATION
SABER Will first lock onto a light source (in the pics a lantern) SABER will then track the object by bouncing the light between it's 2 sensors, making it "wobble" back and forth. It then sends this light signal into a H bridge, making the head move to track the light. IT then sends the same signal into a H bridge motor controller. It then makes the robot body turn where ever the head is pointing, therefore creating a very effective Horse and Rider. The Rider being the Eyes and brain (Robot Head), and the Horse being the vehicle of transportation.

KLSR v1.0
KLSR stands for Krumlink Light Seeking Robot, which will be a long line of advanced Light seekers, from 555 timers to PIC.
v1.0 is based off a dual 555 timer setup, with a custom circuit. It works really good and here is a video:

Spaghetti!
Spaghetti was my very first robot, which was a Line following robot using a LM393 Dual Comparator. How it operates, is that the light is reflected off the surface off the floor and bounces up into a pair of photocells, which then is sent into the comparators, which will only output the highest value resistance. It is a very simple circuit, that requires somewhat a lot of wiring. I really enjoyed building it, it was very fun and I suggest getting the book: "Robot Building for Beginners" by David Cook, which really got me inspired to continue my passion with robotics, so I owe a lot to him.
Here are some pictures!
Here are some pictures!
- This photo is of the front sensor board, which you can see the 4 sensor cells. The 2 Trimer Potentiometers are for the sensors and the LED brightness.
- This is the side view. As you can see, there are wires everywhere! NOTE: This model used two 9V batteries, one for the White LED's and the other for the motors and circuitry.
- This is the front view of the robot. The chassis was designed of rector set pieces and aluminum flashing.
- This is the top view of the robot. You can see the comparator, the Indicator LED's and some other stuff.
