At the beginning of the new year, robot/Smart Car hobbyists and students (like all of you) about engineering, science and technology are busy with preparing for the robot competitions now.
It’s the great time to show the world your imagination and potential now.
ICStation R&D department has just finished this obstacle avoidance intelligent smart car which based on the STC89C52 MCU. It features with the function of obstacle avoidance, infrared remote control and Bluetooth remote control system. It improves a lot on the usage of this intelligent smart car via the connects of various modules and controller.
BTW, this is just a sample which based on 51 MCU for your reference. You also can use other MCU to build your own gear. If you like 51, just leave us your email address to get the testing code.

Step 1: Installation of smart car wheels
- Fix the motor and the base plate with 2pcs fixed plates and 2pcs
screws (The side with the line ends of the motor should be faced
inward.)
- Install the encoder and wheel
(no need to do this if you have the 4WD kits on hand)
Step 2: Install the Speed measuring module on the baseboard
Step 3: Install the 4pcs of obstacle avoidance probes on the baseboard
Step 4: Fix six pillar with 3.5cm on either side of the baseboard
Step 5: Fix the 51MCU module, 4 channel tracing module, Dual L298 drive module on the top plate
You also can use other MCU to build your own gear. If you like 51, just leave us your email address to get the testing code.
Step 6: Install the SG90 on the top plate and fix the top plate and baseboard
Step 7: Install the US-100 Ultrasonic Sensor Module on the SG90
Step 8: Wire Connection
