Infra Red Distance Ranger
For a pretty long time, the sensors that I used in my micromouse robots were ready made. Initially I used the dedicated micromouse sensors from TRI, then switched on to the more general purpose Sharp IR Distance Rangers and eventually … Continue reading
Atmel’s AVR ATMega16/32 based Development Board and the AVR Workshop
I took up this work as a side project when my final year in engineering started. By this time, I had done a lot of practical and applied work in the field of embedded systems and Atmel’s AVR ATMega was … Continue reading
The Modified Flood Fill Simulator
Micromouse for me started as a plain & simple curiosity during my second year of engineering which soon turned into a full blown no-time-for-anything-else activity. During the very early stages of development I realized that I’ll be needing a handy … Continue reading
Stepper Motor Current Chopper Drive
I generally use stepper motors as actuators in my robots. They are easy to drive, easy to control and very lazy. To make my robots (aka mice :-P) go fast, I thought that making some improvements with the software was … Continue reading

After completing my third year in engineering, I got my summer internship at ThinkLABS, a division of The Robotics Institute(TRI) @ IIT Bombay. It was a truly memorable and an eventful 😉 experience for me. From designing cute little robots to … Continue reading
Home appliance control using PC’s Parallel Port and Water Alarm
I made these two projects in the 2nd year of my engineering. This was more of an introductory exercise for me than anything else. My main aim was to get a hang of the things like wires and soldering irons … Continue reading
