Connector board

This board connects our robot parts to the Main Board witch our microcontroller is there.

As you can see in the picture there is a regulator , two capacitor's and two motor drivers on this board.

The regulator that we used in this board is LM2560 linear regulator (this regulator only provides 7 Volts and it doesn't heat up too much so it doesn't need a cooler) and it provides the input voltage of XL-320 Motor witch is 7 Volts.

And we used L6203 motor driver to provide our Main motor (L1990) Voltage and Current. Those capacitors are 1000UF and we used them to reduce volatility, you may ask yourself why didn't we use a 2000UF capacitor instead of a 1000UF capacitor, because a 2000UF capacitor occupies more space.

Sensor Board

This board is located on the bottom of the robot and has the task of following the line. Sensor board includes: IR Sensor's Apds 9960's Multiplexer's Ams1117 We used 34 IR sensor's to follow the line, It has a receiver and transmitter , infrared waves are from 300GHZ to 430 GHZ and the length of these waves are from 1mm to 740nm. We could use a lots of things to detect red and green color but we choose APDS9960 Because it was more accurate and cheaper. We used two of them in the robot. Also we used multiplexer's because we didn't have enough pin's, 4051 and 4052 multiplexer's. We used Ams1117 because the input voltage of our color sensor (APDS9960) is 3.3Volts and our battery's are 12Volts so we need to reduce the voltage, you may ask yourself why didn't we use Resistor's to decrease the voltage , because it will be destroyed and we should use a lots of them and it will occupy a lots of space and the main reason is regulators make our voltage...

LCD Board

We used this board to connect our LCD Display (TFT ST7735R) to our robot, Also this board has a gyroscope (GY-25) and a buzzer. The gyroscope is because we need to know if we are on a ramp Our gyroscope (GY-25) can communicate two different type of communication protocol's I2C and USART , we used USART communicating protocol, the accuracy of this module is up to  ± 180 degrees. 

Obstacle Board

This is our Obstacle Board , It contains an IR sensor receiver and transmitter, the transmitter sends IR ray's and the receiver receives it. Our robot detects obstacle's with its Sensor board  but sometimes it think's its Rescue kit, so we designed this board so it doesn't think the obstacle is rescue kit.
