you cant learn soldering online ! , you need to practice , go to katranji njah , ask him about the KITS , they come complete with a circuit board and component placement sheets , also get a soldering iron and some solder and practice on those boards ! :) . your hand will most definitely shake will soldering your first hundred joints :P , but after that all will be easy . i have been professionally soldering for about a year now , learned on my own and you can see the tiny SMT component that i managed to place with no heat gun ;) but with an extremely steady hand and a magnifier lens . the wood is from fairco , kornish il mazra3a , he has many sizes . btw EKT does sell project boxes , which i will get for the base station once everything is done :-) , download a program called fritzing , it is pretty easy to use and design simple circuits and even print them ! , i have never printed my own circuit yet , but will eventually do . will post about that here ofcourse ! :)
took out the RX and TX from an RC toy car ;) , your problem with them was because you were using breadboard , you can never get a consistent terminal contact with them !

then how do you print them and thx for the info ,my problem isn't with soldering its with the pcb itself in pic nb1 how did you print the lines
ps: i have all the tools for soldering but printing is my problem
battikh
you design the layout on a specialized software (like freepcb if you want to go for something basic and opensource), print it on a piece of paper (with the correct scale) and give it to EKT, they will print it on a board for you.
J4D
nope , EKT does not print a quantity less that 200 boards. as said to me by hussam katranji the manager down there the board in pic 1 is ready printed from EKT he has it in his inventory . but PCB printing is very easy , khalas i will attempt it and post a tutorial .
Aj_BlaZ
hmm so i need to send my project to ekt i never tried that before i thought he was using the mekweye technique :D do you have any ideas the cost and does they do this quickly or they need 1 day or 2 to print it
Aj_BlaZ
thx man :)))))))))))
J4D
you are welcome ! :)

Hi there very nice gadget
since it is made of wood you can make another version for movement water by removing the wheels +adding two axis with fan like ends one making an angle of 45 with the tank corner (for rotation) and the other along the main axis of the tank for moving forward and backward and for the tank to be waterproof you could use 3 latex sacs warped along the whole body except the axis
J4D
good idea , although i don't like the mess the water makes ! :) besides , have you heard of skid steer ? its the method my tank uses to turn and can be applied in water as well ;)
Aj_BlaZ
hey jad on what methode your tut will be made mekweye method or acid ?
Abbabbj
yes skid steer can be used for inverse rotation of the axis which will give u total control for the tank in both ground and water

jadberro wrotenope , EKT does not print a quantity less that 200 boards.
i used to print my boards there, and never printed more than 2 boards at once...
but that was 4-5 years ago, things might have changed, but i don't see why they would not print small quantities, it's not rocket science, specially if you know them well.
euryale
very nice.. now try making something useful, like a big antenna to provide us with decent internet
Padre
it's nice, but who designed the boards ? for example the serial-to-relay interface ? it's not exactly how i would have done it, but it works :P
Keep the good work :)
mir
:) aii.. nice :D keep it up !
ritakml
Waw! Love it! Keep up!
J4D
Thanks euryale , Padre , Mir and Rita :)
J4D
Guys , its finally connected to the computer and functional ! , here is a pic of the interface coded in java , pressing the arrow buttons on the keyboard now move the tank !

Amazing. Time for another Video on Youtube :) and please. try your best jad to have a good quality camera.
Xsever
Jad man you have good cameras ! Why do all your videos turn up with bad quality.
Ya good quality ya dnt tease us with 0.8 FPS footage :D
