First cut at what goes where
Attached below is my first try at which parts go where on my radio controlled car. I drew it with a Tee square and triangles. (I could not stick a thumbtack into our oak cutting board? Drawing boards were made of maple - I think)
The parts in the red section are originally in the car.
The blue section is hoped to be on the PICkit 2. (There is an added toggle switch which I may or may not be able to solder to that printed circuit.)
The yellow section is two sonic range control units each on its own fairly small pc card. I need to devise a method to attach them to the car plus an electrical connection method.
The rest, in black, is presumed to fit onto an inline prototype card.
A big issue is the connectors. The more the better if I can make them reliable. I welcome your judgments.
I have not included electronic details. I think I know which PIC pins to use. The three different Vdd sources (USB supplied, 6 volt battery pack and 7.2 volt battery pack) boggle my mind. If I can settle on a physical layout then resisters, capacitors, and transistors will be next.
I need to figure out how to trigger PIC interrupts from the light sensor and the sonic range control.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
