3. COMPANY OVERVIEW
•
•
•
•
•
The Hewlett-Packard Company or HP is an
American multinational IT company,
headquartered at US, founded by will Hewlett and
Dave Packard in 1947.
HP is the world’s leading PC manufacturing company
since 2007.
It specializes in developing and manufacturing
computing, data storage, and networking hardware,
designing software and delivering services.
In 2012 it was the world's largest PC vendors by unit
sale.
Merges with COMPAQ in 2002.
Majority of its products includes PC, laptops, printers,
scanners, digital cameras, servers, PDA.

4. WHAT ARE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS?
•An Embedded system is a
Software program on a H/W chip
designed for a specific purpose
and can also contain some
mechanical moving parts.
• An embedded system is a
microprocessor or
microcontroller based electronic
device used for specific task.

5. TYPES OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
1. Real time embedded system
(a) Soft real time embedded
system
(b)
Hard
real
time
embedded system
2. Non real time embedded
system

6. APPLICATIONS
• Pen drives
• Hard disk
• Mouse
• Calculators
• Cell phones
• Security system
• Alarm system
• Digital camera
• Printers
• Environment monitoring systems…

7. microcontroller
• It is a small computer on a single integrated
circuit containing a processor core, memory,
and programmable input/output peripherals.
• It is designed for embedded systems.

9. Features of ATMEGA 16
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
It is a 40 pin IC.
Advanced RISC Architecture
16 MHz clock frequency
16K Bytes of In‐System Self‐Programmable Flash
512 Bytes EEPROM
1K Byte Internal SRAM
32 Programmable I/O Lines
3 channel interrupts
8‐channel, 10‐bit ADC
Two 8‐bit Timer/Counters
One 16‐bit Timer/Counter
4 channels for USART ,master/slave SPI.

10. PROGRAMMING KIT
PROGRAMMER

11. Code Vision AVR (CVAVR)
• CVAVR is an IDE (integrated development
program).
• An IDE is a software having functions like
Preprocessing, Compilation, Assembly, Linking
Object Translation, Text Editor etc.
• It has limitation of code size.
• It works on computers with Windows platform
that is Windows XP & Vista.

17. I/O functions Registers
Input Output functions are set by Three Registers for each PORT.
•DDRX ‐‐‐‐> Sets whether a port is
Input or Output of PORTX.
• PORTX ‐‐‐> Sets the Output Value
of PORTX. For ex.
PORTA=255 ( all pins work of port A
as output) for LED & LCD.
• PINX ‐‐‐‐‐> Reads
the Value of PORTX
for ex. PINA.0=0 (0th
pin of port A working
as input ) for switches

18. LCD interfacing
• We have used 16x2 alphanumeric LCD, have their
own embedded system in them.
• lcd_clear()  clears screen
• lcd_gotoxy(x,y)  position
• lcd_putchar(char c)  display single character.
• lcd_putsf(string) whole string
• lcd_puts(char arr)  for array
• itoa(int val, char arr[])
• ftoa(float val, char decimal_places, char arr[])

19. Selecting LCD in CVAVR

20. SPI (serial peripheral
interface)
It is a communication protocol, used
between two or more microcontroller and
devices supporting SPI mode data transfer.
1. MOSI : Master Out
Slave In
2. MISO : Master In
Slave Out
3. SCK : Serial Clock
4. SS: Slave Select

21. SPI
We can transmit/receive only 1 byte of data.

23. LAWS OF ROBOTICS
1. A robot must not harm
human being and
humanity.
2. It must obey the orders
given by human
being, w/o conflicting
law 1st.
3. A robot must protect its
own existence as long
as it doesn’t conflict

24. AUTONOMOUS ROBOT
•
•
•
•
Basic elements for building
autonomous robot.
Robot chassis and actuators: body and wheels
arrangement.
Electronics: includes Sensors, motion control
circuits, power management system etc.
Power Source :Usually batteries or direct
supply through wire.
Intelligence: is achieved by using
Microcontroller.

25. HOW ROBOT MOVES? (H/w)
•3 motors for 4 wheels
• 2 motors for 2 wheels and 1
ball bearing caster
•Controlling rpm and direction
of wheels, controls speed

26. HOW ROBOT MOVES? (S/w)
• At first TIMER has to
initialize. (Atmega has 3
timers 0, 1, 2).
• OCRX= (int. value 0-255);
• forward movement: 1 in
clockwise other in
anticlock direction.
• Backward: opposite of
forward.
• turning left: left wheel
having less value of OCRX.
• Turning right: right wheel
having less value OCRX.

28. SENSORS
•
Sensors are like “feel” for
robot.
• Electronically :it is a device that
measures a physical quantity and
converts it into a signal which can
be read by an observer or by an
instrument.
• TEMPERATURE SENSOR: like
DS1621,thermistor. LM35
measures from 0 to 100 degrees

29. LIGHT SENSORS
• Light Dependent Resistor (LDR): a resistor whose
resistance varies with intensity of light.
• IR sensor: IR led + photodiode + LM358.
• From any “non black body” i.e obstacle IR reflects and
falls on photo diode.
• Hence Photo diode become forward bias, and it turn on the
IC LM358 that gives the output.
IR LED
IR sensor
photodiode
LM 358

30. CONCLUSION
• electronics + mechanics
+ software = ROBOT
• By using all of the
commands of CVAVR,
programming is done on
a robot.
• A robot must be used for
mankind.
