How do you make a simple robot with Arduino Uno and Easy Coding Board?
Making a simple robot using Arduino Uno and Easy Coding Board is a great beginner project in robotics. Here are the steps to make it:
Gather materials: You will need an Arduino Uno, an Easy Coding Board, two continuous rotation servos, a 9V battery, jumper wires, and a breadboard.
Connect the servos: Use jumper wires to connect the two servos to the Arduino Uno. Connect the signal wire of each servo to digital pins 9 and 10 on the Uno, respectively. Connect the power and ground wires of the servos to the 5V and GND pins on the Uno.
Connect the battery: Connect the positive and negative wires of the 9V battery to the Vin and GND pins on the Uno, respectively.
Upload code: Write or download a code for the robot and upload it to the Arduino Uno using the Easy Coding Board.
Test the robot: Turn on the power to the robot and test it by sending commands to the servo motors using the code.
Add wheels: Attach wheels or other appropriate movement components to the servos to enable the robot to move around.
Refine and improve: As you test the robot, you may find that it needs refinements or improvements to its code or mechanical design.
That's it! You now have a simple robot made with an Arduino Uno and an Easy Coding Board.
