POWER OF LOGIC GATES

FOOTBALL ROBOT - SOCCERBOT

INTRODUCTION :

Most of them would have developed the football robot using a microcontroller or using any complex circuit. Here is a simple circuit to design a football robot using simple logic gates. The circuit involes the usage of one OR gate IC and a motor driver IC L293D. The diagram is shown below for your reference.


CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION :

The F,B,R,L inputs to the OR gates comes from the switches which specifies the desired direction of control. For example, consider the case when L is pressed then the outputs B and C goes high and the direction of motor control to the motor driver IC becomes 0110. This means that the motor1 turns in backward direction and motor2 turns in forward direction where motor1 is on left side and motor2 is on right side. Thus the robot can be controlled using a single or gate instead of complex circuits. This results in less soldering and more economical.

Thus we can understand the power of logic gates from the above design..
