Arduino robot kit – Wiring Diagram

      8 Comments on Arduino robot kit – Wiring Diagram

I have created this wiring diagram for the connections between the motor controller, motors, and sensor shield. I’ll update it later to include other components.

And here is an update that includes the servo motor and the range sensor.

    this code from my working car:
    //Motor A
    int dir1PinA = 7;
    int dir2PinA = 5;
    int speedPinA = 6;

    //motor B
    int dir1PinB = 4;
    int dir2PinB = 2;
    int speedPinB = 3;

    unsigned long time;
    int speed;
    int dir;

    void setup ()
    {
    pinMode (dir1PinA, OUTPUT);
    pinMode (dir2PinA, OUTPUT);
    pinMode (speedPinA, OUTPUT);
    pinMode (dir1PinB, OUTPUT);
    pinMode (dir2PinB, OUTPUT);
    pinMode (speedPinB, OUTPUT);
    time = millis ();
    speed = 0;
    dir = 1;
    }

    void loop ()
    {
    analogWrite (speedPinA, speed);
    analogWrite (speedPinB, 555 - speed);

    // set direction
    if (1 == dir)
    {
    digitalWrite (dir1PinA , LOW);
    digitalWrite (dir2PinA, HIGH);
    digitalWrite (dir1PinB, HIGH);
    digitalWrite (dir2PinB, LOW);
    }
    else
    {
    digitalWrite (dir1PinA, HIGH);
    digitalWrite (dir2PinA, LOW);
    digitalWrite (dir1PinB, LOW);
    digitalWrite (dir2PinB, HIGH);
    }

    if (millis () - time> 5000)
    {
    time = millis ();
    speed += 20;
    if (speed> 555) {speed = 0;}

    if (1 == dir)
    {dir = 0;}
    else
    {dir = 1;}
    }
    }

    Hi, i think your work is great! You are probably the only one on the net showing how to build this kit from dx. I am looking forward to see your complete code. I am having trouble getting the motors to run, so i am looking forward to see have you solved it! Keep the good work up! -Björn
