Joe's November blog

This month I continued building the circuit on the breadboard and subsequently finished it. Once built, it was then to be tested using a power supply and a oscilloscope. This was achieved by having two sensors and two IR LED's in the circuit which then could be reflected off a surface, such as someones hand. We used the signals generated by the oscilloscope and referred back to the document which explained what kind of output we were expecting.

Construction of the main chassis was also started and was built using the materials provided. The next step is to build the PCB using a software called proteus. This PCB will then be mounted on to the chassis which contains the circuit that was built and tested on the breadboard. Once this is done, the code can be then placed on the micro controller which will be configured for the obstacle avoidance.
