top cover attached. The PIC microcontroller will be programmed a
little later, during experimentation. Now that the robot is complete,
the remote control transmitter will be built.
Constructing the Remote
Control Transmitter
The remote control transmitter will be used to control the robot’s
movements and may be customized to control other devices as
well. The hand held remote control device uses an analog X and Y
axis control stick as the input to two analog-to-digital converters
residing on a PIC 16C71. The remote control is pictured in Figure
6.45.
