HCR Mobile Robot Kit

SKU: ROB0004

The HCR Mobile Robot Kit is a 2-wheel drive mobile robot platform with 3 levels (use parts as needed or make 2 levels). It includes 2 motors, 2 wheels + 1 rotating third wheel, plates, and hardware. Supports have servo/sensor spaces; base fits mini-its motherboards. This 2nd release updates motors (DFRobot custom, quiet, high-torque with 663-pulse/rotation encoder for 0.54° resolution, meeting PID needs), wheels, and sensors (6 URM in 6 directions). A new level allows adding devices like Kinect.

    Hardware Architecture

    GMR Board

    Attention: The yellow wires are jump wires.

    And for this GMR board 3 microcontrollers should be used. Two Arduino Nano and one Arduino Mega ADK. One of Nano to control the motors and the other used to drive 6 URM sensors. And the Main microcontroller is the Mage ADK, it is used to collect the date and transfer it. There are two Wireless slots for Xbee, blueteeth and other wireless communications. In this case, we just need one Nano to drive the motors.
