One Robot, 17 Tutorials
Find all the tutorials you need for the new Version 2.0 of the robot.
What's new in Version 2.0?
Can you complete all 17 levels?
Does the case fit?
First, you need to check whether your 3D-printed enclosure is dimensionally accurate and all components fit.
The Robot's Brain
The Arduino is the brain of the robot. Here, you will learn about its basic structure and how it works.
The Motor Shield
The motors require such high power that the Arduino cannot supply it on its own. Therefore, the Motor Shield serves as a bridge.
It receives control signals from the Arduino and simultaneously supplies it with power.
Connecting Motors to the Shield
Now, the robot's muscles are being wired to its body.
Laying signal cables
Small control signals from the Arduino tell the motor shield in which direction the motors should run.
However, for this, the robot requires nerve pathways from the brain to the body.
Configure the motors
Before you can program, you must use the software to tell the brain which components are connected where.
Attention!
When connecting the Arduino to the PC, avoid dual power supply from both the USB port and the battery.
Controlling motors
You program the motors using a block-based approach with Open Roberta.
You must now transfer this program into the Arduino IDE and then onto the robot.
The Robot's Brain
From this point on you will need an enclosure! You can either design it yourself using Learning Situation 05 , or download the finished enclosure as an STL file.
The power switch
Wiring the switch is the most technically demanding part of the entire robot.
Mounting the switch
Installing the switch requires a delicate touch. Prior to this, the underbody lighting and the battery (or batteries) must be installed.
The robot learns to walk.
Here, you will learn how to make the motors run in different directions using subroutines.
Set Speed
Here, you will learn how to continuously adjust the motor speed.
Ultrasonic sensor
The robot gains eyes and sees its world with sound instead of light.
RGB - LED
The robot features interior and underbody lighting. It can glow in seven different colors.
Speaker
With this, the robot can emit acoustic signals, for example, calling for help, if it detects an obstacle.
