Kaizen Robotics Program ( Level-1 ) – Guidance Phase:

Disclaimer: The additional components need to be purchased by you. Please use

resources available online (Internet). Try making your project work by yourself. If
it doesn’t work then contact your trainer for further guidance.
Here is the list of projects:

1. Interface a 16x2 LCD with your ATmega16. Display a string

WELCOME when you switch on your circuit and then display the
digital value of the LDR on the second line of your LCD.
2. Interface a 4x4 Keypad to your previous circuit and build a
calculator. The first line of the LCD must display the inputs and the
answer of the arithmetic operation must be displayed in the next
line of the LCD.
3. Interface an IR sensor to monitor the rotation of your robot
wheel. Build a digital tachometer on your robot (make the robot
just move forward). When the robot is moving the RPM of the
robot has to be displayed on the LCD. When the robot stops the
total distance travelled by the robot has to be displayed on the
LCD. (New peripheral – Timers and Counters).
4. In the previous circuit, add a push button to the reset pin of your
ATmega16. Using the interrupt service routine (peripheral in
ATmega16) restart the tachometer every time the button is
pushed. (New peripheral – Interrupts)
5. Interface a GSM Module to your ATmega16. Send an SMS to your
robot to start it. Also send another SMS to stop the robot. Once it
stops make the robot send an SMS to your phone with the last
RPM recorded and the total distance travelled by the robot.
(Peripheral used – Uart)
6. Using the GSM module make a call from your phone to the robot
to start the robot. Make another call to your robot from a
different number to stop it.
7. Interface an SD card Module and a small speaker to your
ATmega16. Store some songs in the SD card and play those songs
using the speakers. (New peripheral – Two wire interface)
8. Interface a Mic to your ATmega16 and store all the inputs from
the mic to the SD card and play it using the speakers.
9. Put all of these together and make a basic phone that can make
calls and send SMS.
