NO PURCHASE NECESSARY
But if you want:
(optional) Parallax Boe-Bot Full Kit, cost $149
Group discount rates may be available—let me know if
you plan to buy one
Order online: http://www.parallaxinc.com/
Or call:

You do need:
A single 3.5" floppy disk
(or thumb drive) for
shuttling programs
Robotics Tool Kit
• PC for writing and downloading programs
• "Brain" or Microcontroller
• (BASIC Stamp, BasicX-24, Lego mindstorms RCX,
PIC16F84)
• Programming interface (serial cable, infrared (LEGO),
wireless)
• "Skeleton" or chassis, arms
• "Muscles" or wheels, motors, relays
• Energy source—batteries
• Sensors:
• Speaker, Bumper switch, Photoresistor, Infrared
headlights
What's a Microcontroller?
• An ultra minimal computer chip that normally
performs a single set of tasks in an embedded
system (automatic doors, airplane avionics)
• Unlike PCs, microcontrollers have special ports to
enable simple interfaces with the outside world
(input/output)
• For every PC there are 12-18 microcontrollers in the
world

Microcontrollers Can Teach You
About:
• Digital circuits
• Use of: resistors, capacitors, LEDs, diodes,
transistors
• Cook book circuits are readily available (RBB)
• Control theory -- feedback, proportional control
• Computer architectures
• Test & calibration
• Software -- compact notation for expressing
solutions to problems
• Learning by Osmosis
