Parts

This section contains information about the parts used in the robot project.

The Micro-Controller x 1:

Arduino Mega ADK, it’s an open source board with an ATmega2560 microcontroller, which will be programmed to control the machine and regulate everything in the system.

DC Current per I/O Pin40 mA
DC Current for 3.3V Pin50 mA
Flash Memory256 KB of which 8 KB used by bootloader
SRAM8 KB
EEPROM4 KB
Clock Speed16 MHz


More info in its development page: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardADK

Heat Disperser x 2:

It’s an Intel E97375-001 Socket 775 Aluminum Heat Sink Fan
We are using a pc, processor fan, just to keep the solution/medium at normal temperatures and to cool the resistors. In this case, we are using 2 of them.
Specifications:

  • Aluminum heat sink
  • 3.5-inch (90 mm) fan
  • Power input: 12VDC, 0.60A
  • Supports Socket 775 CPUs with 65W TDP


Beaker x 2:

A cylindrical container, which will contain the medium/solution.
Their capacity will range from 250ml to 400ml.

Small Water Pump:

It will use up to 5v~3.3v.
We will be using a simple handmade water-pump, which uses the following materials:

  • Silicone Glue, as a Sealant
  • A Small Capsule, about 3cm of diameter and 4.5cm of height
  • A tiny Electrical Motor, enough to fill in the Capsule
  • Rotating Blades, little enough to fit in the motor's axis
  • Transparent Tube, About 0.5cm~1cm diameter and small thickness


LCD Display:

We will use an LCD to display temperature and relevant data.
An 16x2 liquid crystal display. It displays White text and has a Blue background.
Its specifically a 16x2_KST1602B-W.
It employs a HD44780 parallel interface chipset.
Dimensions: 84 mm x 44 mm. And Uses About 5v.
