There is nothing “Robotic” or “Intelligent” about it. With an ultimate goal of making an autonomous Robocar I have […]

Day 3: Controlling the Robot Wirelessly

What is the use of a robot if it is always tethered to the computer! Today’s goal is to wirelessly control the robot. Send commands without the need to connecting it to a laptop. I plan on doing this using an IR module receiver. I chose this because it is easy to setup and there

Day 2: Spinning the Wheels!

Today’s main goal is to connect Arduino Uno to the motors using the motor driver and if possible code some instructions to move the wheels. If you have been following this series, checkout my first post Day 1: Setting up Arduino and gathering parts. Voltages and Currents Before we get started, a little introduction to
