Complete test using breadboard...



19/04/2010

Circuit soldered using strip board instead of breadboard.






Me and Mark soldered the circuit, and then I made holes for the board to be secured to the chassis. I also sourced some super glue, zip ties and various types of screws and bolts.

Final chassis desgin was finalised and I drilled holes for the motor, circuit, second layer of plastic and 2 slots for the wires from the circuit it pass through.

Finial circuit build to wire up circuit to PIC board and Motor board as well as back-up wheel arragement. Mark cut the slots for the top layer and then I wired up the circuit and bolted on the motors then bolted the circuit with a foam layer inbetween to act as a spacer so that the circuit is closer to the ground.

  1. Why have these been posted in one go. Should have been a continual process.

    Is there an insulated spacer between the stripboard and its fixing nuts otherwise you would get shorting between the tracks. Not clear from picture.

  2. There is insulating tape around the fixing nuts.
