How to Build a Simple Arduino Robot

How to Build a Simple Arduino Robot
Step #1: Making the Chassis Place the battery pack face down and orient it so that its cable is facing you.Take two pieces of double sided tape and adhere them on the long sides of each servo. Ensure servo alignment at the bottom. Peel the backing off the tape and firmly press the servos onto the battery pack. Note: Make sure to apply the servos on the end where the wire is coming out, oriented so that the shafts are towards the end of the battery pack. Note: Ensure that the servos are pressed firmly together and that they are centered on the battery pack. Step #2: Breadboard & Arduino Attach the breadboard to the top of the battery pack. Step #4: Wiring the Servos Cut two 3-pin segments off of the long break away header. Step #6: Connecting the Power (pt. 1) The servos shouldn't be powered through the 5V pin on the Arduino because they can draw more current then the Arduino can provide. Step #8: Adding a Kill Switch Step #9: Programming your Robot Check out the code for this robot and my

My First Original Arduino Project: What I Learned About Learning This post is really an op-ed written for those of you who, like myself, are new to making and are just getting into project building with Arduino. You might be a little overwhelmed. You might think you can’t learn this stuff. sans titre mBot with Me LED Matrix Have you ever imagined how vivid it would be if a dynamic face plate is added on your robot which enables it to have various facial expression like a real man? Or have you tried to program LED walls to display animations or characters? What Me LED Matrix 8×16 can do is to help you achieve these gorgeous display effects. It’s highly welcomed by mBot users. Arduino PIR Motion Sensor This Instructable is about how to create an Arduino PIR motion sensor for your room or office, using parts available from your local Radio Shack! Whether you're looking for a cool and easy-to-build security sensor, or an awesome first project to dive into the world of Arduino, Microcontrollers, and electronics, this project is for you. (This project really is easy. Take it from me, I'm 12, and I've only had my Arduino for a week and a half.) If you guys really like my project, please vote for it in the home technology contest!

Control RGB LEDs with this Android-Arduino Combo-Circuit Connect a multicolor LED strip to your smartphone to make a touch-controlled light show! You can attach the color-changing LEDs to the underside of a coffee table, your bike, or anything else you think needs a bit more color. With our latest Weekend Project we’ll show you how to combine an Arduino, a simple solderless breadboard circuit, and your Android device (which must be compatible with USB host mode) to control a strip of full-color RGB LEDs.

mBot get started – Open-source Arduino Robot Building Platform mBot-Blue(2.4G Version) mBot-Blue(Bluetooth Version) Unpack your mBot and assemble Download mBot instruction to put all parts together. Installing an Arduino Library What's a Library? Arduino libraries take a complex task and boil it down to simple to use functions. Arduino users have written lots of exciting add-ons for Arduino. L9110 H-bridge module By admin on 31/05/2013 L9110 H-bridge I bought another small motor driver, this time a module with 2 L91110 H-bridge chips. These dual L9110 H-bridge modules can be found for 3-4$ on Ebay or from Chinese webshops. The module has 2 L9110 IC’s, so it can control 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor.
