So here's my first attempt to build something that resembles a robot, this is just, let's say a pre-alpha version, as it's controlled via a simple Visual Vasic program via pc so it needs physical connections to the pc, the next step will be an autonomous version with an IR sensor, and the last version will be a remote controlled one.

It's moved by two micro metal gearboxes powered by a lead-acid battery 6v 4Ah, they are controlled by a toshiba driver and all the thing is handled by an Arduino Uno R3.

P.S. sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian :P

Here's a little video to show you how the robot and the Visual Basic program work!

Another little video to show the robot controlled by a SNES joystick, next step will probably be adding the IR sensor and maybe one or two more axis for the tracks as Stormbringer suggested. It will probably be the last update to this project

The board and Arduino

  • CPU: Arduino Uno R3
  • Power source: lead-acid 6v 4ah
