How much did it it cost to get all of the parts?

[guib0t]

about 80€

hahahahaha its sOO LOL I LOVE THE EYES!!! is it true that a motor drive IC like the l293d is solely used just to add more power to the motors? make em spin faster cos the PIC cant supply enough voltage?

[guib0t]

the L293D only makes your motors spin in both directions.

[mxm892]

but i can make them spin in both directions using just programming techniques and connecting the motors straight to the PIC...

[guib0t]

that might be because your PIC already has the L293D on-board..

I´m using Arduino.

hey can you tell me how you used the ltra sonic sensors ????

[smtkl]

hello wanna ask do u use pic 18f452 for this project?

[xxRicardoDiasxx]

You need the L293D because the microcontrolled can't draw enough current to the motors. Also, it can convert a PWM signal to a linear voltage output. ;)

Cool!!!

It's amazing how difficult it is to overcome some obstacles as simple and common as a small step, Like the one by the door.

Great work!

Awesome!

definitely not im using a 16F648A...its so annoying, i been looking through all the data sheets, websites for drivers and not one can describe WHY you really need it...i know there must be a good reason but i just dont know what it is...
