eLabtronics eRacer_16m is the newer modified version of the eRacer. It was created
in order to provide an introduction to electronics, microcontroller programming
and robotics. The eRacer_16m is particularly suited to educational and hobbyist
activities because of its low cost and comprehensive technical documentation. The
eRacer_16m utilises the innovative CoreChart and ezCircuit Designer software packages.
Through these, detailed examples of both programming and applications are provided.
These introductory projects provide an excellent foundation for the design and development
of more complex projects, the scope of which is limited only by imagination.
Features:
Easily constructed by students who have basic soldering skills.
Kit supplied with eRacer_16m parts and electronic components.
Uses the PICF819 microcontroller via the eLab16m board.
The eLab16m is reusable, i.e. it can be used for other projects, not only the eRacer_16m.
14 lines wired for input and output operation.
Can be programmed to avoid obstacles, move along lines and even follow a light source.
Comes with eRacer_16m Robotics Resource CD, includes:
IBM PC Programming Software (CoreChart, ezCircuit Designer, MPLAB)
Detailed manual on electronic assembly and mechanical construction
Programming tutorials
Extensive technical data library
Input/Output Circuits
L293D driver chip used to operate two independent motors.
Infrared transmitter and receiver to detect objects in front of the eRacer_16m.
Two light sensors on the base of the eRacer to follow lines along the ground and
to detect different coloured light sources.
One bright red and one bright green LED mounted on the base of the eRacer_16m to
emit different coloured light
Two independent bright red LEDs at the front
One buzzer and One Pushbutton
