Preface
AN AUTONOMOUS ROBOT AND A HANDHELD REMOTE
The handheld remote may be the tool of choice for channel surfing couch potatoes
worldwide, but this device can also be used to send messages to your Boe-Bot
The press of a button on the remote's keypad opens up an array of new Boe-Bot
possibilities. Once you understand how a remote uses infrared to transmit messages to a
TV, programming the BASIC Stamp
messages is pretty easy. Once these tasks are reduced to subroutines, programming the
Boe-Bot to take action based on these messages is a snap.
Here are a few Boe-Bot applications that you will have the opportunity to try in the next
three chapters:
Along the way, you will learn about pulse width modulation (PWM) for sending
electronic messages, the binary number system, the PBASIC
uses for the
AUDIENCE
This text is organized so that it can be used by the widest possible variety of students as
well as independent learners. Middle school students can try the examples in this text in
a guided tour fashion by simply following the check-marked instructions and instructor
supervision. At the other end of the spectrum, pre-engineering students’ comprehension
and problem-solving skills can be tested with the questions, exercises, and projects (with
solutions) in each chapter summary. The independent learner can work at his or her own
pace, and obtain assistance through the Stamps in Class
