How to Make a Robot - Lesson 6: Controlling Your Robot

I want my rover to be rc which controlling would be needed by me

@Harsh You really only need an RC remote control: https://www.robotshop.com/en/wireless-rc-pwm-servo-controllers.html

In rc setup which components are required

@Harsh RC control without a microcontroller simply requires an RC transmitter and receiver, and whatever RC gear you want. This might include RC servos or DC motor controller which accepts RC input.

Do I need 4 motorcontroller for 4 motors? Do you deliver your products in India also.?

@Harsh For a multirotor, you need one ESC per motor since each needs to be controlled independently. We do delivery to India.

We have a mobile robot running at the moment off of a Lenovo Laptop, and are running into a question that seems basic.

We have a LIDAR the connects to our laptop using an ethernet jack. We then want to Teleop the robot, but run into issues trying to using WIFI over a router to access the laptop on the robot, which conflicts with the ethernet connection to the LIDAR.

Is there a best practice here for this particular issue?

@Charlie Andersen Interesting issue, but best not to go into it here. Can you either create a new topic on the RobotShop Forum, or write to us at [email protected]?

How many motors have u used.
Do u have cash on delivery.

@Harsh The number of motors really depends on your needs. Unfortunately no C.O.D.

I am from computer science background…I am very enthusiastic in robotic field…I am very much happy to visit your website…I want to build an Intelligent humanoid robot for my project…Could you please help me?

@charan Unfortunately we cannot collaborate on a project nor provide design services. Since your background is computers / programming, you might want to purchase the humanoid and program it how you’d like: https://www.robotshop.com/en/biped-development-platforms.html

i like that sir, pls send me more tutorial on robot. [e-mail removed by moderator]

i have 4 brushed dc gear motor of same rating (6-12V, 200 rpm, No-load 80mA, Stall current 1.80 A). i am using arduino to control all 4 of them simultaneously with Bluetooth 4.0 on android. What is the rating(c, mAh, V) of the LiPo battery required to power the whole system.

@Sam You will need DC motor controllers as intermediary (hopefully you just did not mention it). If the stall current is 1.8A, it’s safe to assume the loaded current is ~1/4 that, so around 450mA. Four motors would mean the battery needs to provide 4 x 0.45A = 1.8A continuously. If you want a LiPo, you can choose 7.4V or 11.1V (preferable). The capacity will determine how long the battery lasts.
