BOT120 PICAXE-20X2 MICROBOT

Assembly 9 - Infra-red Receiver (IR RX) Module

The infra-red (IR RX) receiver module consists of eight parts, an IR circuit

board which has an infra-red receiving sensor mounted upon it, a

connecting bric, plus three bolts and three nuts to hold it in place.

Insert the three nuts into the connecting bric

Align the IR receiver circuit board with the right connector at the rear of

your Microbot motherboard (position C.0), fit the connecting bric and

bolt into place.

Assembly 10 - Infra-red Transmitter (IR TX) Module

The infra-red (IR TX) transmitter module consists of eight parts, an IR

circuit board which has an infra-red transmitting LED mounted upon it,

a connecting bric, plus three bolts and three nuts to hold it in place.

Insert the three nuts into the connecting bric

Align the IR transmitter circuit board with the connector at the rear of

your Microbot motherboard, fit the connecting bric and bolt into place.

For Logicator the transmitter (IR TX) must be placed in the

centre (B.0) position.

For BASIC the transmitter (IR TX) can be placed in either

position (B.0 or C.4).

The IR TX cannot be used to send infra-red signals to itself - it is only

used to send signals to another Microbot, so that a group of Microbots

can communicate between each other - e.g. to develop ‘swarming’

behaviours.

If you only have one Microbot you must use a TV style remote control

(e.g. part TVR010A) to send the infra-red signals.
