Armoured Tank Chassis with Tracks for Smart Car Arduino

Description

What it is

Complete tank chassis with tracks for building a smart car robot. This chassis is ideal for robotics and smart car projects, suitable for both beginners and intermediates.

Features

• Tank chassis with tracks
• Ideally usable with Arduino

What it is for

Develop robotics projects such as a robot that avoids obstacles using distance sensors. Check the datasheet for further technical specifications and compatibility.

Tutorial: How to use Tank Chassis with Tracks Robot

This chassis is ideal for robotics and smart car projects. Suitable for beginners and intermediates.

What you need

• Tank Chassis with Tracks
• Arduino
• DC Motors
• Distance Sensors (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Check that the chassis is intact and undamaged.
2. 2. Mount the DC motors on the chassis supports.
3. 3. Connect an Arduino to a computer for code upload.
4. 4. Connect the motors to the Arduino via the power and signal cables.
5. 5. Mount the belts on the chassis, ensuring they are securely fastened.
6. 6. Connect the distance sensors (if present) to the Arduino.
7. 7. Load the following code onto the Arduino:
8. 8. Test the robot to ensure it works correctly.

Example code

```
#include <NewPing.h>

NewPing sonar(10, 11, 200);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  delay(100);
  int distance = sonar.ping_cm();
  Serial.print(distance);
}
```

Mini project

Build a robot that backs away when it detects an obstacle. Use a distance sensor and the example code above.

Common mistakes

• Do not check the chassis before installation.
• Connect the motors without mounting them first.
• Omit code verification.
• Do not use securely fastened belts.

Recommended accessories

• DC Motors
• Distance Sensors
• Power Cables
• Arduino

Frequently asked questions

How can I customize the chassis?
Use pliers to modify the shape of the chassis to your needs.

Which DC motors are compatible?
DC Motors with JST SH 2.0mm connectors.

Can I use ultrasonic sensors instead of distance sensors?
Yes, but make sure they are compatible with your Arduino pinout.

Does the chassis support other Arduinos?
Check the datasheet to see if the chassis supports other Arduino models.
