TJ Pro Quick Assembly



TJ PRO for Quick Assembly. No soldering. Just glue, fasten and plug in cables.

All sensor and power cables and electronics come factory assembled and tested. All motors and IR sensors come factory modified for proper operation. No soldering, no servo modification, no IR modification. Just glue the TJ Pro body together, fasten the servos, electronics and switches to the body, plug the cables into the appropriate headers and you are done, INSTANT ROBOT!

PART NUMBER TJ-PRO-QA

The TJ Pro for Quick Assembly is designed for individuals who want the satisfaction of building their own robot without the soldering skills required of earlier kits. This kit is ideal for the beginner who does not want to sacrifice quality and performance for ease of assembly.

Recommended especially for Middle and High School Technology programs.

Front View of TJ Pro

Side View of TJ Pro

TJ ProTM offers a sophisticated, expandable, programmable, autonomous, mobile robot with features found on units costing twice as much. TJ ProTM fits into a right circular cylinder of 7 inch diameter and 3 1/2 inch height. TJ ProTM is constructed from beautiful, 5-ply model aircraft plywood (or Strong Black ABS Plastic), and rides on two 2.75 inch Du-Bro wheels and a rear skid. Two MS492 ball bearing servos, hacked as gearhead motors and mounted underneath the platform, drive each wheel. TJ Pro has the same physical appearance as the TJ.

Talrik Junior ProTM Features

Talrik Junior ProTM Controller

* A Motorola MC68HC11 based microcontroller circuit, the MTJPRO11, provides, among other features, the brains and communication capability of the TJ ProTM and provides exceptional versatility for the robot.

Control and communication features include the following:

1.MC68HC11 microcontroller.
2.32Kbytes of SRAM.
3.Five-volt serial communication interface for downloading and uploading programs and data to a personal computer. The serial bus implements RS-232 protocol except for the voltages. The Mekatronix circuit board MB2325 (sold separately) converts this processor serial bus to a standard RS-232 bus.
4.High speed, 5volt synchronous serial bus. Up to 1 MHz data rate. 5.5 Volt regulator.
6.Low-voltage-inhibit reset circuit.

TJ Pro
TM Memory Save Feature
When the power switch is turned off, battery power is still supplied to the SRAM to prevent loss of code and data in memory.

TJ Pro
TM Input/Output Expansion Capability * The MTJPRO11TM circuit board provides TJ ProTM with exceptional I/O power for a robot its size (Mekatronix will offer future enhancement kits based on these capabilities. Check this web site periodically for further releases.)
1.Eight digital outputs.
2.Three digital input ports with program-optional automatic digital waveform capture.
3.Hardware generation of a 40KHz signal to modulate IR and sonar. 4.The processor data bus and an 8-bit address decoder port enable expansion up to four external 8-bit Digital Input and four external 8-bit Digital Output ports.
5.Five, eight-bit analog input channels available. Combined with external analog multiplexers and Digital Input address decoding, each analog channel could be multiplexed to as many channels as the external multiplexer allows.

Free TJ Pro Support Software

1.Sensor and motor routines provided in assembly language. 2.An old freeware version of the Interactive C (IC), an extremely useful C interpreter by Randy Sargent.
3.PCBUG11 freeware for downloading Motorola S19 files. 4.Freeware MC68HC11 Assembly Language.
* Commercially Available Software (Sold Separately) 1.Interactive C, new and shinny with lots of enhancements and corrections!
2.ICC11 C compiler,
3.POGO, a program similar to LOGO developed by Mekatronix especially for those who want their programming to be easy. Especially suitable for young children (although the Big Boys and Girls like it too!)

TM Sensors

TJ Pro
TM's Starter Sensor Suite
Every TJ ProTM comes with the minimum sensor suite listed in the table below.
These sensors are wired directly to headers on MTJPRO11TM microcomputer circuit board. These sensors have the following characteristics:
1.Two Forward-Looking IR Emitters, wavelength equals 940nm.
2.One Backward-Looking IR Emitter, wavelength equals 940nm.
3.Two Forward-Looking analog IR Detectors for 40KHz modulated 940nm IR. These sensors produce analog channel readings from about 88 to 128 out of a possible 256. The number 256 corresponds to five volts.
4.Three Front bumper Momentary Tactile Switches, each switch closure separately identifiable.
5.One Back Bumper Momentary Tactile Switch
6.User expandable sensors (see above).
