Objective Guidelines Initial Plan Resources Circuits Pbasic Code Video and Pictures Problems Improvements Real life cost and model Closing Overview
Guidelines • Device should be controlled by BS2. • Incorporate and document hardware and software features to prevent damage to the BS2 IC and other components on the device. • Project mustinclude some form of a user interface so that a human user can monitor the device. • Project must utilize at least one actuator. • Project must utilize at least one analog and one digital sensor. • Actuators mustbe controlled using sensory feedback.
Objective • To implement a autonomous machine that makes the decision of irrigation control based on climate.
Initial Plan • To make the robot go on a predefined pathway. • Stop at predefined intervals. • Sense the humidity and temperature • Follow a line and dock. • Actuate the valves and water pump based on humidity levels.
Resources • Sensors • Actuators • Integrated Circuit Chips • Robot Body and Brain
Sensors • Temperature Sensor • Humidity Sensor: HM1500ND • Infrared Sensor • Light Sensor
Actuators • Continuous Rotation Servos • Stepping Servos • DC Motor Pump
Integrated Circuit Chips • DS1620: Temperature Sensor • ADC0831: Analog to Digital Converter
Robot Body and Brain • Brain: Parallax Basic Stamp II, Board Of Education • Body: Parallax BOE-BOT Chassis
PBasic Code • Object Detection • Humidity Sensor
PBasic Code(continued) • Line Follower
PBasic Code(continued) • Temperature Sensor
Videos and Pictures Failure Success Valves
Problems • Predefined Path • Docking • Water Pump • Valves
Solutions • Line Following • External Power Source • Docking station improved
Real Life Model and Cost • Model: • Bigger • Better quality sensors • Enhanced drive control through Sensors • Cost • Estimated cost of the prototype: $150 • Estimated cost of real life model: $500 • Exact cost to be determined
Closing • Why is this an effective equipment: • Save time • Conserve water consumption • Autonomous
