This is the TENTH PROGRAM in your course of FUNDAMENTALS OF ROBOTICS. To use this program, you must use our robotics kit already supplied to you.
If you do not have this kit, then you can purchase our distance learning programme in robotics or contact us to join our regular batches of robotics.
Now read the following program carefully and work as per the given instructions, to enjoy your first program in robotics.
To use this program directly for your robotic kit, copy it, create new project in AVR Studio and then paste it into the coding area. Then compile it.

Level II project of 'Controlling motors with TWO SENSORS'
Applicable to ATMega8/16/32/128
Designed by: Vidyasagar Academy, Akola

*** CONNECTION DETAILS OF KIT ***
1) The 2 motors in your kit, are connected to PB4-PB1, as follows:
Left motor: PB4 -> (+) and PB3 -> (-)
Right motor: PB1 -> (+) and PB1 -> (-)
2) Connect the two IR sensors to PC3 & PC0 in your kit.
Connect LEFT SENSOR to PC3 and RIGHT SENSOR to PC0

=== HOW TO USE AND RUN THIS PROGRAM IN YOUR KIT? ===
1) First read the program carefully. Understand the steps as taught to you.
2) Connect your kit to USB port.
3) Burn the 'hex' file into your kit.
4) Connect both the IR sensors, to PC3&PC0 in your kit.
5) Now connect battery and switch on the kit.
6) First keep white paper below both the sensors.
7) The robot will move in forward direction.
8) Now keep black surface below the sensors.
9) Both motors will be OFF and the robot stops.
10) Is it working? Nice! You did it.
11) Now don't forget to give your feedback.
