IR remote controlled robot iKnowBot1 – part 1.
Robotics is a very engaging & rewarding hobby. Today we will see how we can build an IR remote controlled Robot using iR-4C-M board and a robot platform.
Apart from these two, you will also need some tools like cutter, soldering iron, screwdriver etc.
You will need following card – iR-4C-M.
This is the robot platform that we have used to build this IR remote controlled robot.
Though you can use any other platform or you can make your own using two dc motors.
Here we assume that you have enough knowledge of electronics and have experience of building electronic projects. We would also recommend downloading iR-4C-M user manual from download section of this site to know technical detail of this card.
iR-4C-M is a tailor made card specially for Robotics and DC motor application. It can be used to operate 2 dc motors using IR remote control. So we are using it here to make this IR remote controlled robot.
In part 2 we will see in more detail how we can build this ir remote controlled robot iKnowBot1.
