Design and application of 3-axes cartesian robot with Bresenham?s line algorithm

In the study, by developing an electronic control circuit and driver program of a cartesian robot that can move to three axes, out of mechanical part, a user?s interface program of the device has been performed and applied. ATMEL was chosen as microcontroller on electronic control card. For step motors, ULN2003 embedded computer system was used. Interface program was written with Borland C++ Builder 6. The driver format developed was used in the interface program. The format was based on vector graphic format. All geometrical shapes were made to draw in line with vector graphic format. However, functions specific to basic geometrical shapes were developed in user?s interface. With Teamviewer, toll desktop connecting program, the device was controlled and used via a different computer on the Internet. The communication between the device and the computer was obtained through Serial Port. Additionally, the programming of microcontroller could be performed with ISP through the control unit.Necessary preparations were carried out to use the device, and drawings were conducted with fudge factor of 0.1mm. Key Words: Cartesian robot, Step motor, C++ Builder 6, ATMEL, Control of step motor, Bresenham?s Line Algorithm
