PIC Robotics : A Beginner's Guide to Robotics Projects Using the PIC Micro
Overview
Here's everything the robotics hobbyist needs to harness the power of the PICMicro MCU! In this heavily-illustrated resource, author John Iovine provides plans and complete parts lists for 11 easy-to-build robots each with a PICMicro "brain." The expertly written coverage of the PIC Basic Computer makes programming a snap--and lots of fun. Complete do-it-yourself robotics projects--SMART BOTS! * A bi-pedal robot that walks upright * Functional robotic arms * Easily programmed behavioral based robots * Complete parts lists for all projects * Step-by-step directions for several complete projects--inspiration for hundreds more PUT POWERFUL, LOW-COST MICROCHIPS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES INTO HOME-BUILT ROBOTS Over the past 5 years, dramatic improvements in technologies and significant cost reductions in 8-bit microprocessors have spawned a renaissance in robot building. PIC-BOTICS, from popular electronics hobbies author John Iovine, shows amateur (and professional) electronics enthusiasts how to get in on the fun, using the power of Microchip's versatile 8-bit PIC microprocessor family to build sophisticated robots more cheaply and easily than you thought possible. With PIC-BOTICS, you can build robots that: * Follow a line * Look for light * Track a scent * Play tag * Perform hand and arm functions * Fly, swim, crawl, or slither And do it inexpensively!
