How the Robot Works
●4 AA Batteries power the robot.
●The processor boar executes a
program to control the motors an
operate the ultrasonic sensor.
●The motor controller supports two
motors.
●Two control signals are use to
control the irection an operation
of each motor.
●A control signal causes the ultrasonic
range sensor to sen out a 'ping'. A
signal goes back to the processor when
the echo is etecte . The processor
times how long it takes to receive the
echo to figure out istance.
