Objective
To outline the procedure to assemble the electronic circuits for “Isidore’s Revenge,” the robot drummer
designed for George Tzanatakis as part of the ENGR466 Integrated Design Project.
Parts
The following list of parts contains all the machined and purchased parts, along with the fasteners
required to construct the robot drummer.
[1] These parts are not the same as on the current device. Substitutions have been made to simplify the ordering
process or to improve performance.
[2] Part quantities reflect the current device with the single drum striking assembly. These part quantities should
be tripled if building the additional assemblies.

Isidore’s Revenge: Robot Drummer – Electronic Assembly Procedures
Required Equipment
Soldering iron
Solder
Phillips head screwdriver
Hot glue gun
Needle nose pliers
Wire cutters
Various lengths of 22-gauge solid-core and stranded wire
Multimeter
5-15 Zap straps
Exacto-knife or other sharp blade
Various standoffs to mount components
L-bracket with holes drilled for MIDI connector
On the next page, Figure 2 shows the wiring diagram for the base unit. Note that the power connections
for the MIDI interface board and microcontroller have been changed from the assembled configuration.
The MIDI board is now powered from the microcontroller and the microcontroller now receives power
with its VIN pin instead of with its external power port.

Procedure
1. Assemble the stepper motor driver:
a. Open the stepper motor driver kit and follow the included instructions to solder and test
the board. The board should look similar to Figure 3 when finished.

b. Solder the IRFZ20 transistor into the closest holes to the edge of the removed section.
c. Solder the large diode anode to the middle pad on the prototype board. The line on the
diode should be facing away from the board.
d. Solder the 10 KΩ resistor to the lower pad on the prototype board.

c. Place the power supply output connector over the 13 pin output bank.
d. Connect the 51 Ω power resistor to short leads (2 to 4 cm) and shield the leads with
heat-shrink tubing.

e. Crimp female connectors onto the power resistor leads and insert the connectors onto
pins 3 and 6 of the power supply (it doesn’t matter which direction the resistor is
positioned). Tuck the power resistor underneath the power supply cover to keep it
covered as it tends to get hot.
b. Solder a 6cm long piece of solid-core wire onto the middle pin of the switch which is on
the same side as the previously soldered blue wire.

b. Glue the each component, using the hot glue gun, onto the top of the power supply in
the layout presented in Figure 13.

b. Measure and cut a length of stranded wire (orange) from power supply pin 13 to the
screw terminal labelled +12 V in Figure 14. Crimp a female connector pin onto one end
of the wire and insert it into pin 13 of the power supply and screw the other end into
the +12V terminal of the stepper motor driver.
c. Measure and cut a length of stranded wire (green) from power supply pin 12 to the
screw terminal labelled GND in Figure 14. Crimp a female connector pin onto one end of
the wire and insert it into pin 12 of the power supply and screw the other end into the
GND terminal of the stepper motor driver.
