Initial creation

The Main Board is the central electronic board of the SirBot project. It contains a microcontroller (here PIC 16F628 ) which permits to control every SirBot modules (extern boards).

The version of this board has a integrated RS232 module for communication capabilities via the serial port.


1. Electronic diagram

The Main Board corresponds to the following diagram:

For the RS232 module, we have the following diagram:

Table 1. Main Board components

Name Value Picture
R1, R2 Resistances 1K
C1 Condenser 10µF
C2 Condenser 100nF
C3, C4 Condenser 22pF
C5, ..., C9 Condenser 1µF
D Diode 1N4001 or 1N4004
L1 Led
Q Quartz 4MHz
REG Voltage regulator 7805
CI1 Microchip PIC 16F628
CI MAX232 MAX232
J power supply connector 2.5mm
K 26 pins connector
K2 RS232 connector (male)

Note

This board needs a (at least) 9V/500mA power supply, not regulated (there is a voltage regulator on the board).


1.1. Connection specifications

The Main Board provides a bus connection (via connector K). Every external modules have this connector so they can be plugged-in and controlled by the Main Board . Thus, this bus provides communication capabilities between every boards and must respect the following specifications:

  • The connector has 26 pins.

  • 18 pins are used to have access to every pin of the PIC 16F628

  • 2 pins are used to provide power supply to other modules.

  • So, 6 pins aren't used yet

The connection diagram is the following:
