So I build my first wheeled robot. For now it has no special functions or sensors, but I'm planning to add those features later. Robot can be controlled with PC, Laptop or mobile phone, but I have ordered second bluetooth module. With this module I want to build a controller. So I hope you like it, and feel free to ask about something that might interest you.
UPDATE 1.1 I've added lights and change controller from phone to arduino with accelerometer. For now it runs via laptop, but I've ordered Bluetooth module from e-bay, because I want to make standalone controller.
UPDATE 1.3 I've build the controller, it uses Atmega8. Now robot can be controlled via analog stick or accelerometer.
UPDATE 1.4 Third wheel has been added to the back side of the robot, this is the last update of version 1.X next update will be version 2.0.
UPDATE 2.0 I've switched to xbees and robot is now controlled by control glove
Robot that can be controlled via bluetooth
Actuators / output devices: 2 servos
Control method: Xbee 2.4Ghz
CPU: Atmega 328
Operating system: Arduino
Power source: 3, 4x AAA NiMh 900mAH, 7V Nokia battery
Programming language: Arduino
Sensors / input devices: *this is an alpha release I'm planning to add sensors
nice one! What are you using to power the Atmega 328? Or are you still powering both the servo and the 328 with the 4 x AAA batteries? Also, are those wheels lego parts?
Thanks :). Yes I’m still powering everything with 4x AAA batteries, but in the version 2.0 I’m going to use separate power sources for servo’s and bluetooth with atmega. And I found those big wheels in old box with lego technic, but they don’t look like original lego parts so I don’t know where they came from.
How did you attach the wheels on the servo? Did you just glue them on or screw them some how? I just bought a few wheels for my lego NXT and I am hoping to use them with the some arduino projects too.
Nice robot! And code I love that thing! And are you still using arduino IDE for programming? If so could you post the code I have been trying to do something like this and cant get it to work.
Thanks
Matt
Thanks Yes I’m using Arduino IDE, I will post the code, but right now I’m working on a different project and I’m busy so I’m sorry that I can’t help you, but you can send me a private message or mail describing your problem and I will gladly help you
im thinking to make the same project for my uni assignment it will be really kind of you if you could send me the circuit diagrams of robot and controller also the codes.
Hi I would like to help you but my I’ve accidentaly lost all of the data from my harddisc, so codes are gone. Olny thing that I have is circuit diagrams but I work in PCBWizard so I don’t know if that can help you.
