Features

• Two-Level Frame for Smart Car
• Developed for electronic and robotic projects
• Ideally suited for both beginners and experts

What it is for

This frame is used for the construction of robotic vehicles such as smart cars or rovers. It is possible to create a simple model that moves in a straight line and avoids obstacles thanks to position sensors. The project takes approximately 30 minutes.

Tutorial: How to Use the Two-Level Frame for Smart Car

The two-level frame is a crucial component for building robotic toy cars or smart cars. Ideal for both beginners and more experienced makers, this frame offers a solid structure on which to mount motors and other necessary components.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• DC Motors
• Position Sensors
• 3.7V Battery or equivalent
• JST Connectors
• Connection Strips

Steps

1. Check that all listed components are present and in the correct state of charge.
2. Connect the battery to the frame following the instructions in the datasheet.
3. Mount the DC motors at the designated points on the frame, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit.
4. Connect the Arduino module to the frame interface using connection strips or JST cables.
5. Connect the position sensors to the motors and the main circuit following the specifications in the datasheet.
6. Check all connections to ensure there are no short circuits or incorrect connections.
7. Upload the Arduino sketch to the module using the example code provided below.
8. Test the smart car in a safe and controlled environment.

Example code

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

void loop() {
  // Inserire qui il codice per gestire i motori e i sensori
}

Mini project

Build a simple smart car that moves in a straight line, avoiding obstacles thanks to the position sensors. The project should take approximately 30 minutes.
