Help me make a toy tank with a remote control

[Sadegh.j]

hey

Have to make a toy with a remote control. The tank has 4 wheels which moves forward, backward, right and left. The barrel should do the same. To fire, a sound IC should make a noise, the remote control has 9 button, one fire, 4 direction of the movement of tank and 4 determines the direction of the movement of the barrel.

Any suggestion??

hi
AVR microcontroller contains already made functions in basic for sound playing and remote control
the directions are simply by reversing the polarity of motor

Do you want a wired or wireless remote control?

To control the motor direction, you can use L293D, search the board for its uses or the internet for its datasheet.

For the sound, a pic micro can always be used to create the sound, you can use the timers.

Hey

The control is wireless. Can PIC produce any sound. It should sound like a tank firing, (Or some thing similar to it)

Thanks

Re: Toy tank

for the wheels: use L298 or L293 and two DC motors

for the barrel, use: ULN2003 as a stepper motor driver, of course you need a small stepper motor for this


for the sound IC: google it

all datasheets are most available at: www.datasheets.org.uk

PIC doesn't produce a firing sound, though you may DAC to it
but, I suggest to have a sound gen IC for this

for the PIC: it's your choice, but PIC16F877 would do

Added after 2 minutes:

Oh, almost forgot, FSK radio is better for wireless control

Re: Toy tank

u can use pic r either 89c51 for this but the thing is the wireless interface just finalise it first then u can use a suitable micro controller and the sound generator
