Page 2: Installing The Components
5. Add the ON/OFF switch in the middle of the chassis in its rectangular position. 6. Use the four brass standoffs and eight screws provided to install the metal ball caster. Mount it on the front of the chassis as seen here: Hobbytronics 2018 https://www.hobbytronics.co.za... - Page 3 Use a flush cutter, or any other cutting tool, and cut the servo beam shaped like a cross so that it looks like the picture on the left. Place it inside the servo holder and fasten with two small screws. Hobbytronics 2018 https://www.hobbytronics.co.za...
- Page 4 You can use the heat shrinks to extend the wires. 13. You need to connect the DC Motor next. Use the power and ground wires provided and connect the DC Motor to the L298N Dual H-Bridge motor driver. An example below to guide you: Hobbytronics 2018 https://www.hobbytronics.co.za...
- Page 5 Trig pin, the yellow wire to the Echo pin, the red wire to the Vcc pin and the brown wire to the Gnd pin on the HC-SR04. Here’s a picture to guide you: Hobbytronics 2018 https://www.hobbytronics.co.za...
- Page 6 18. You’re almost done. Connect the pins of the motor driver to the Shield pins as below: 19. One more step! Add batteries in the battery holder and connect the Female DC Adapter to the Arduino. For codes check out www.abraelectronics.com. You can use the codes for calibration as well.
