Are there any instructions for connecting the Solarbotics GM9 - Gear Motor to the Robot Rover’s frame? And where do the leads for power get connected? I’ve searched your site and Solarbotics.
There are two very small screws on one side of the motor, but they don’t seem to be anything you would attach a lead to.
Thanks for any solution you might offer.
Oh, and my Rover kit arrived safe and sound.
I was looking for instructions on the Solarbotics motor description page and it didn’t occur to to me to look at the kit description page. Duh!
Thanks
Thanks, cameleon. The video is very helpful. Now if they would just publish the one on wiring the Robot Rover that they speak of.
You can download the manuals from the description of the Rover on the website, in the Useful Links tab. Those Solarbotics gearmotors have 2 tabs that stick out near the motor to solder the wires to. The Rover manual explains how to mount the motors and also shows the wiring of the motors.
The third installment of the RobotShop Rover videos will be on the website as soon as it is completed. In the meantime, refer to the user manual. Note that the RobotShop Rover is intended to be very versatile, allowing users to connect whatever electronics they so choose (sensors, communication devices, shields etc.). The video will show only the basic wiring.
It seems that RobotShop also has a descriptive Video on a to assemble the Arduino Rover:
