get your first Arduino robot
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
In case you're a tenderfoot in Arduino and have an arrangement to make your first robot, at that point here's the instructional exercise for you. Take a gander at the pictures of what you will construct, today.
In this instructional exercise I am demonstrating how to make an Arduino robot with various functionalities. We can become familiar with the utilization of various projects for various capacities, predominantly a PDA controlled robot with Obstacle avoider, divider supporter, and labyrinth solver. Or then again you can likewise make it for just a solitary capacity.
Make two openings on one or the other side of the container for interfacing the engines and three openings on the base for associating the caster wheel subsequent to estimating and denoting the right measurement. At that point introduce the engines and the caster.
Mount two 9 volt batteries inside the container over the caster. At that point wire them in resemble and associate a switch as appeared in above graph.
Associate the engine shield over the Arduino and spot it over the battery. At that point associate the wires from the engines and battery to the engine shield. Look at the association outline prior to interfacing, as it is significant.
Wiring Instructions:
- Connect the left motor to "M1" of motor shield
- Connect the right motor to "M3" of motor shield
- Connect the the wire from battery to "ext pwr" of motor shield
Make two openings for getting to the USB port and the DC input port of the Arduino. Take another 9 volt battery and interface a battery clasp to a DC male jack connector, at that point associate the DC male jack to the Arduino DC input port, to control the Arduino. At that point place the battery between the engines and Arduino inside the container.
Interface the Bluetooth module to the Arduino as appeared in the association chart and spot it inside the container. At that point make opening to mount the switch on the rear of the case and interface the switch (here I have changed the switch which is utilized before due to some fastening issue).

Wiring Instruction of Bluetooth module:
- "TX" of Bluetooth Module goes to "RX" of Arduino
- "RX" of Bluetooth Module goes to "TX" of Arduino
- "VCC" of Bluetooth Module goes to "5v" of Arduino
- "GND" of Bluetooth Module goes to "GND" of Arduino
- The State & Key pins of the BT modules are kept unused.
Take the ultrasonic sensor and paste a little 'L' formed plastic piece to it and paste it on top of the plastic box (or on the off chance that you don't have a paste stick utilize twofold sided tape). At that point interface the jumper wires to as appeared in the circuit chart above.
Wiring Instruction of ultrasonic sensor:
- "VCC" of Ultra sonic sensor goes to "+5" of Arduino
- "GND" of Ultra sonic sensor goes to "GND" of Arduino
- "Trig" pin of Ultra sonic sensor goes to "Analog pin 1" of Arduino
- "Echo" pin of Ultra sonic sensor goes to "Analog pin 0" of Arduino
