Component Name: 14 in 1 Educational DIY Solar Transformers Robot ToyOverview:
The 14 in 1 Educational DIY Solar Transformers Robot Toy is a versatile and interactive educational kit that combines solar power and robotics to teach students about renewable energy, robotics, and programming. This kit consists of 14 different robot models that can be built using a single set of modular components, powered by a solar panel, and controlled using a built-in microcontroller.Hardware Components:Solar Panel
Microcontroller Board
Motor Drivers
Sensors (Touch, Sound, and Light)
LED Indicators
Breadboard and Jumper Wires
Plastic Chassis and Accessories (for building different robot models)Programming Languages:
The microcontroller board can be programmed using various languages, including:Scratch ( graphical programming language)
C++
PythonExample 1: Basic Robot Movement using Scratch
In this example, we will demonstrate how to program the robot to move forward and backward using Scratch.Hardware Requirements:Assemble the robot model with the microcontroller board and motor drivers.
Connect the solar panel to the microcontroller board.Scratch Code:
```scratch
when green flag clicked
set motor A to 100
set motor B to 100
wait 2 seconds
set motor A to -100
set motor B to -100
wait 2 seconds
repeat forever
```
Explanation:
In this code, we use the `when green flag clicked` block to initialize the program. We then set motor A and motor B to 100 (full speed forward) and wait for 2 seconds. Next, we set motor A and motor B to -100 (full speed backward) and wait for another 2 seconds. The `repeat forever` block allows the program to loop continuously.Example 2: Touch Sensor-controlled Robot using C++
In this example, we will demonstrate how to program the robot to respond to touch sensor inputs using C++.Hardware Requirements:Assemble the robot model with the microcontroller board, motor drivers, and touch sensor.
Connect the solar panel to the microcontroller board.C++ Code:
```c
#include <Arduino.h>const int touchPin = A0; // Touch sensor pin
const int motorAPin = 9; // Motor A pin
const int motorBPin = 10; // Motor B pinvoid setup() {
pinMode(touchPin, INPUT);
pinMode(motorAPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motorBPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
int touchValue = analogRead(touchPin);
if (touchValue > 500) { // Adjust the threshold value as needed
digitalWrite(motorAPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motorBPin, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(motorAPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(motorBPin, LOW);
}
delay(50);
}
```
Explanation:
In this code, we use the `analogRead()` function to read the touch sensor value and store it in the `touchValue` variable. We then use an `if` statement to check if the touch sensor value is above a certain threshold (500 in this case). If the condition is true, we set motor A and motor B to HIGH (forward direction). If the condition is false, we set motor A and motor B to LOW (stop). The `delay(50)` function introduces a 50ms delay between each iteration.Example 3: Solar-powered Line Follower using Python
In this example, we will demonstrate how to program the robot to follow a line using a solar-powered line follower algorithm in Python.Hardware Requirements:Assemble the robot model with the microcontroller board, motor drivers, and light sensors.
Connect the solar panel to the microcontroller board.Python Code:
```python
import microcontroller# Define the light sensor pins
left_sensor = microcontroller.Pin(16, microcontroller.Pin.IN)
right_sensor = microcontroller.Pin(17, microcontroller.Pin.IN)# Define the motor pins
motor_a = microcontroller.Pin(9, microcontroller.Pin.OUT)
motor_b = microcontroller.Pin(10, microcontroller.Pin.OUT)while True:
left_value = left_sensor.value()
right_value = right_sensor.value()
if left_value > 500 and right_value > 500: # Adjust the threshold values as needed
# Both sensors detect the line, move forward
motor_a.value(True)
motor_b.value(True)
elif left_value > 500:
# Only left sensor detects the line, turn left
motor_a.value(True)
motor_b.value(False)
elif right_value > 500:
# Only right sensor detects the line, turn right
motor_a.value(False)
motor_b.value(True)
else:
# Neither sensor detects the line, stop
motor_a.value(False)
motor_b.value(False)
microcontroller.delay(50)
```
Explanation:
In this code, we use the `microcontroller` module to interact with the microcontroller board. We define the light sensor pins and motor pins, and then use a `while` loop to continuously read the sensor values and control the motors accordingly. The algorithm uses simple threshold values to determine the line detection and motor control.These examples demonstrate the versatility of the 14 in 1 Educational DIY Solar Transformers Robot Toy and its potential for teaching various concepts in robotics, programming, and renewable energy.
