AI Thread Summary
To create a robot that turns left and right, a solid understanding of robotics and programming is essential, especially for automation. The project may be complex for someone with limited experience, but resources like Arduino Uno can facilitate learning. It's important to determine if the robot will autonomously navigate obstacles or be remote-controlled. Calculating distance traveled and programming timed turns can be effective strategies for achieving the desired movement. Engaging with online tutorials and seeking guidance from knowledgeable individuals will enhance the learning process.

What do you know already about making simple robots? What microcontrollers (uCs) have you worked with so far? What projects have you built so far?
 
i have no background of building robots. i am only on year 12... i have limited knowledge about circuits and everything.

ok then probably not the sort of project for you to start out on. Its going to get pretty complex. You would need LOTS of guidance by teachers, electronics lecturers etc

thats not going to stop you doing some googling on robotics to start learning about how to control them. :)
something to consider...
is the turning left and right coing to be automated by the robot in response to its surroundings ?
or is the robot going to be remote controlled by radio like say a radio control car so that the turning left and right is selected my the operator of the remote ?

the robot has to be fully automated. ouyr teachers told us we can use the adruino uno stuff. i had also look at videos on how to make robot on internet. well for the device turning, the robot has obtacles to avoid so i think its good if i can calculate the distance traveled and then program it to turn after x seconds...
 
any ideas please?
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
