The Autonomous Drifter: Hardware

Build The Board
           Now we'll build & wire together the new transmitter. This will be comprised of the battery, old transmitter & new circuitry.

Some Of The Parts Used »


The Completed Board, Top & Bottom »


The Old Transmitter Modifications »


Connection Between The Three Elements »



This Is How The Components Are Stored In The Enclosure »


           (It's important to note that a standoff in the upper right corner of the circuit board is screwed into the bottom of the enclosure and to the top of the circuit board. This provides means for resistance for when the serial cable is being plugged in.)


The Completed New Transmitter With Cover On»



           The new transmitter is completed! Now the software needs to be written & programmed onto the PIC so that it will actually transmit what we want it to when we send it commands through hyperterminal & the serial connection.
