Edge Sensor Circuit

When the robot will be running on a black surface with a white edge. It has to stay on the surface and not wonder off the platform on its own. Thus, it must be able to detect the white edge of the platform. This circuit is use to detection the platform of the edge. Here’s is the simple circuit diagram schematic;


Infrared Tx/Rx pair is ideal for this application because the distance between the sensors and surface will be very small if the Tx/Rx pairs were mounted under the robot. An advantage of this location is that they will not be affected by ambient lighting conditions. It is preferred that Tx/Rx pairs are used for optimum performance because the peak sensitivity wavelength of the detector are that of the emitter's.

Economy Radar Detector Circuit

This is a design circuit for build the economy radar detector circuit. This circuit uses a 1458 dual op-amp to form a radar detector. Here’s the figure of the circuit;


C1 is the detector of the radar signal. The first op-amp forms a current-to-voltage converter and the second op-amp buffers the output to drive the piezo transducer. R5 sets the switching threshold of the second op-amp; normally it is adjusted so that the circuit barely triggers on background noise, then it's backed off a bit. The response of the circuit may be tuned by adjusting the length of the leads on C1. For typical road-radar systems, the input capacitor's leads should be about 0.5 to 0.6 inches long.

Dual Detector Prevent Locking On Sidebands

Here’s the figure of the design circuit for dual detector to prevent locking on the sideband circuit.


Anti sideband circuit rejects side-band locking while telemetry tracking loop is automatically searching for signals around i-f value. Circuit also provides both p-m and aim demodulation. Emitter-follower Q1, receiving i-f signal, feeds discriminator Q6-07 through limiters Q2-Q3 and Q4-05. For 455-kc input, d-c outputs of diode detectors cancel at hose of Q8. For lower or higher frequencies, difference voltage serves to apply anti sideband error signal to loop fiber through Q9 or Q10. [Circuit diagram source: Seekic.com]

Contact Sensor Circuit for Robots

This is a simple design circuit for contact detector circuit. Here’s the figure of the circuit;


The robot's obstacle detection circuit will only inform the robot that there is an obstacle, not the distance between the obstacle and the robot. Therefore contact sensors are needed for the robot to determine that it has made contact or dumped into an object. This circuit above is a simplest solution that can be use for micro switches. There are four micro switches (one on each side of the robot), connected to The Handy board's digital ports.

Bat Detector Circuit

This circuit is a simple design circuit for bat detector circuit that is a frequency division type device. Frequency division type detectors allow you to hear ultrasonic sound by digitally scaling the frequency down into the human hearing range. Here’s the figure of the circuit;


Basically this circuit is essentially composed of 3 integrated circuits, or ICs. The signal from an ultrasonic transducer is fed to IC-1, an LM386 audio amplifier, which is configured to provide a signal gain of 200. The signal is coupled to IC-2, a second LM386, by a .05 uf capacitor. IC-2 is configured to provide an additional gain of 20, for a total system gain of 4,000. The output of IC-2 is direct coupled to the input of IC-3, a 7 stage CMOS digital divider circuit. 

The input stage of the divider acts as a zero crossing detector, triggering on the negative transition of the signal from IC-2. The divide by 16 outputs connected to a potentiometer, which serves as an audio level control. A high impedance ceramic earphone is connected to the output of the level control. The 10K level control is a small printed circuit pot that is set and forgotten. The detector circuit is powered by a nine volt battery. (The numbers next to the IC nodes refer to the pin numbers of the IC's. Note the additional pins listed at the bottom of the schematic that need to be tied to ground).

The principle of the ready made dew sensor element is based on the change in resistance of a conductive polymer in a thin film on a small ceramic substrate.
