How to Create a Simple DIY Robot

Image
Electronics Projects:   Introduction Building a simple robot is a great way to dive into the world of robotics. This project will guide you through creating a basic line-following robot using readily available components. Materials Needed Arduino Uno Motor driver (L298N) DC motors with wheels Chassis Line tracking sensor module Battery pack Jumper wires Breadboard Step-by-Step Guide Assemble the Chassis: Attach the DC motors and wheels to the robot chassis. Connect the Motor Driver: Connect the motors to the L298N motor driver and then to the Arduino. Install the Line Tracking Sensors: Attach the sensors to the front of the robot and connect them to the Arduino. Power Supply: Connect the battery pack to the motor driver and Arduino. Write the Code: Program the Arduino to read the sensor data and control the motors to follow a line. Example code: cpp Copy code void setup () { pinMode (leftMotor, OUTPUT); pinMode (rightMotor, OUTPUT); pinMode (leftSensor, INPUT); pinM...

Building Your First Arduino Project: A Beginner’s Guide

 Electronics Projects :   Introduction Arduino is a versatile and beginner-friendly platform for creating electronic projects. This guide will walk you through building your first Arduino project – a simple LED blinking circuit. Materials Needed Arduino Uno board USB cable LED Resistor (220 ohms) Breadboard Jumper wires Step-by-Step Guide Install Arduino IDE: Download and install the Arduino IDE on your computer. Connect Arduino: Use the USB cable to connect your Arduino Uno to your computer. Set Up the Circuit: Place the LED and resistor on the breadboard and connect them to the Arduino pins. Write the Code: Open the Arduino IDE and write the code to blink the LED. The basic code is: cpp Copy code void setup () { pinMode ( 13 , OUTPUT); } void loop () { digitalWrite ( 13 , HIGH); delay ( 1000 ); digitalWrite ( 13 , LOW); delay ( 1000 ); } Upload and Test: Upload the code to the Arduino and observe the LED blinking. Tips and Tricks Double-check your circui...
