ATP(arduino tracked platform)

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

This is a test platform for me entering to robotics.

at the moment there is only tracked chassis,gear-box twin motors,arduino,breadboard . soon I add the GP2D120 and l293d motor controller and I will program it to do something.

********update - done .

simple obstacle avoiding just to test the platform.

movie added.

 

 

This is my work shop I assembled

Why is there a “cage” around

Correct, the black tube at

Correct, the black tube at the top is the extractor, there’s a PC case fan in the middle =)

Nice bot Mickey - I love that Tamiya plate, so convenient.

Nice start, very clean environment too…

Looks like you have some prior electronics experience… I’ve been considering getting a hood as well, I don’t want to inhale too much of the lead based solder fumes. Got me thinking I could put something like that together with off the shelf stuff pretty easy.

And where did you pick up the Tamiya plate. by chance? I’ve been looking and haven’t found yet.

Look forward to some video! Happy Holidays!
