6. Mount additional sensors such as distance or tilt sensors on the frame
7. Test the rover in a safe environment
8. Optimize the vehicle’s behavior based on your experiments

Example code

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

void loop() {
  // Codice di controllo dei motori qui (verifica sul datasheet)
}

Mini project

Create a simple rover that moves in a straight line and responds to commands from the computer via serial monitor. Set the vehicle to turn when it detects an obstacle.

Common mistakes

• Loose connections or short circuits
• Motors misalignment causing a misstep
• Battery insufficient to power the components
• Sensors improperly configured to not detect correctly

Recommended accessories
