hyngDo you wish to make a manual robot like simple combat robot? To make a combat robot, there are few criteria that the robot must consist of such as main controller, transceiver, receiver, motors, and battery and of course the chassis with some weapons on it! Most people are not able to build the main controller, receiver and the transmitter as it involves circuit theory, power, and programming.

Because of IKM (Institut Kemahiran MARA) Kuching requested training, I have the chance to visit Kuching, the capital of Sarawak. Both my colleague and I went to our old friend place for the 1st night. Thanks to his parent hospitality, we have a great time there. The continuous night we stay at Tune Hotel! Quite a nice place!

Example of ICSP using UIC00B
Nowadays, ICSP (In Circuit Serial Programmer) is starting to gain popularity and Cytron also encourage users to use ICSP instead of using universal programmer (where user needs to unplug the microcontroller) or bootloader. To use ICSP, you need to prepare a connector socket on your development board. The socket type depends on your programmer. For Cytron’s Programmer, the socket that you need is 10 Ways IDC Box Header. On the other hands, Microchip’s ICSP standard is different from us. For example, the ICSP socket on the development board for PICkit2 programmer is 6 ways male header while for ICD2, the socket is RJ11. These two types of programmer/In Circuit Debugger are most popular and many PIC Development Board uses these two standard.

7th Jul 10 hyngAlthough the conventional SC1 packaging is our most popular box but we always feel that it is a waste and harmful to our environment by having such a medium size box to pack a tiny product such as RE08A, UC00A and MD10B.

28th Jun 10 kahbeePR28 is going to be launched soon! PR28 applies the concept of mTouch which is a new technology from Microchip. Getting confused of the term ‘mTouch’? mTouch is basically a capacitive touch sensor which only consists of copper pad. It can be seen everywhere nowadays such as laptop trackpads and MP3 players. Mechanical buttons are outdated and not fancy looking. On the contrary, capacitive sensor has higher flexibility and can be in any shapes you like. Let me introduce PR28 briefly.

25th Jun 10 hyngRobocon Malaysia 2010 game is now ongoing until this Sunday, 27th June! We will update the game from time to time. For the information of game’s venue and the participant list, please visit here.
Apart from the games, Robot. HeadToToe magazines are distributing free to all the visitor at the entrance of the hall. Don’t forget to grab it if you haven’t get the latest volume!
23rd Jun 10 ober79It seems that we seldom update our product, is never too late to start. Here you go, some of our new products.
20th Jun 10 ober79For robotic fans out there, or those that wanted to see what can IPTA, IPTS students do, you are more than welcome to ROBOCON 2010 at Dewan Canselor Tun Abdul Razak (DEKTAR), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi from 22nd to 27th June 2010.
I would advise you to go on 24th onwards because the round robin game should start on that day. Nonetheless, the peak of ROBOCON will be on 27th where the semi final and final match is “executed”
