We manage to figure out how to program the Stepper Motor to move with C programming codes through the EE2A2 Stepper Motor Lab.

With this knowledge, we hope to implement it into our EE2G2 project on programming the stepper motor to run in the Telur Ayam robot.

Aathavan and Deepak has been doing some research on the programming language used by the robot and has been researching on functions which could make programming the robot easier.

While this is going on, Amir have designed the chassis of the robot and manage to get two big wheels to be put on the robot.

Lok has started researching on the circuits  that we would be using in the robot. Lok has also started researching the sensors that we will be used in the robot.

Razman has roughly drawn up a pseudo code that will be used in the programming of the robot. In drawing the pseudo code, there are still some ambiguities, this ambiguities are:

-The circumference of the wheel, to calculate movement. Diameter of wheel is 7 cm.

-The distance of straights of the track

Razman will iron out this ambiguities a.s.a.p. Click here or the link above to check the pseudo..

Zamak has been ill for the past week, therefore he is unable to do any work for the group.

In a meeting held, we have decided that the sensor should be placed in front far away from the robot. PICTURE 1 shows a mock up of the 5cm line and the sensor line that we thought we might implement in the robot.

We also got hold of huge wheels salvaged from an old remote control car and we used it in the design of the robot.
