Pião




See it on LMR:
Functions:
  • Navigate arround being remote controlled, for now...

Output Devices:
  • 2 Drills' Motors
Microcontrollers:
  • Arduino Duemilanove
Power Sources:
  • 2 12V Drills' Batteries
This is my most recent project. It is a robot which uses two cheap drills’ motors, that I bought a while ago for my tank. I didn’t like using tracks, so on this one I’m using wheels.
The motors are controlled by a arduino duemilanove using this motor driver board that I designed myself:
Unfortunately I made a mistake on the design so I had to correct it with some wires…
 
The only tests I did were using a wiimote and a processing application to remote control it, but I hope to make it autonomous soon.
 
The motor holders were my first work with polymorph and are quite good :D
