The series of pages that follow will show you the
basic operation of Cybot. I do not intend to teach you basic electronics,
and for that I recommend this web site:
http://www.electronics-tutorials.com/basics/basic-electronics.htm
However, only a basic understanding of resistors,
capacitors and transistors are needed here, and I will try and keep things as
simple as possible. I have grouped the pages according to the function of
Cybot i.e. The Motors And Gears, Sensors etc.
Most of the information has to be made on assumption,
especially when we start looking at the electronics side of things.
However, there is a lot of basic information that can be given that is generic
on nearly all robots, and comes under the banner of basic components. The
Sensors and Motors pages are examples of the latter.
Just click on any of the buttons to go to the relevant
section. There is no predefined order, although It is recommended that you
start with the motors and gearing, moving onto the sensors and finally the
electronics. This will give you a 'bottom up' view of how the Cybot
functions, and also this is the order in which Cybot is built.
As more information comes available for Cybot, pages
will be updated or added accordingly, so do check back often.
