Tutorial: How to use MR2 2 Basic Kit Smart Car

The MR2 2 Basic Kit Smart Car is ideal for beginners and intermediates who want to build and program an autonomous machine. With this kit, you will learn to use sensors and motors to create an intelligent vehicle.

What you need

• Arduino UNO or compatible
• USB cable
• Power supply
• Prototype board
• Multimeter

Steps

1. 1. Check that all components are present in the kit.
2. 2. Mount the motors on the prototype board.
3. 3. Connect the motors to the Arduino via cables.
4. 4. Mount the sensors on the vehicle.
5. 5. Connect the sensors to the Arduino.
6. 6. Load the code onto the Arduino.
7. 7. Test the vehicle in manual mode.
8. 8. Program the vehicle for automatic control.

Example code

```
#include <NewPing.h>
NewPing sonar(8, 9, 200);

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

void loop() {
  int distance = sonar.ping_cm();
  Serial.print(distance);
  delay(1000);
}
```
