The current status of the project is that all components are ready for installation except the external power source and the wireless camera, which will discuss in some other section later. Another pending thing is that the program code needs to be configured and the memory location has to be kept ready to run the program when the robot is powered externally.

Testing the robot involves testing each component individually first. If the individual components are working properly, then it clears the path for combining them into the robot in the last stage of this project. This ensures that when the robot components are assembled together in the final of the project, the robot will be ready to be controlled from the computer in the wireless mode. Many components were tested during the course of this project, some of the important ones are highlighted in the sections to follow.

I applied different various levels of voltages by using DC power supply to drive the stepper motors. The goal was to make the motor and all other components run using 4V since I intended to use external power source at the final stage of the project. When I applied 4V to one of the stepper motors it was working properly. However, when 4V was applied to both of the motors, the short circuit light in the DC power supply started shining, indicating a short circuit in the system. This happened because of limited current and hence short circuit happened. To solve this problem 4V was connected to the stepper motors from different power sources separately to avoid the short circuit.

This device tracks the voltage from the input to the output. The input from the DC power supply is 12V, which will be reduced into 5v by passing it through the 7805 regulators.&nbsp.
