Im quite new to robotics and i was wondering what components are actually needed in your average circuit board. The only robot i have made is a version of "little 8" and i made that using a pre built motor board. How would i go about constructing one myself?
hello iam not an expert but hello iam not an expert but as far as i know you will need to buy the "motherboard" a microcontroller a battery pack and couple of motors. .now you can buy alot of different sensors and make a quite good robot
For the average circuit board, I’ve used various sized resisotors(20 Ohm - 100k Ohm), transisotors(3904/3906), diodes(1n4148, 4004), capacitors(.22mf-470mf), and LED’s(red, blue, green).
Thats a list of basic components that you’d most likely need if you were going to build something. Other more advanced components that you’d most likely use are also voltage regulators, motor drivers, and other ic’s(555, 74xxxx, 741). These ususally need one or more of the first list of components to work.
You’ll also need a board to build on, and tools, soldering iron, solder, etc.
I highly recommend this site as it has a lot of great info on learning about the above mentioned stuff
