Getting started

Hardware Preparation

• 2WD DIY Arduino Robotics Kit: SKU 1225, Quantity: 1
• Motor: Included in the kit, Quantity: 2

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE (version unspecified, download from Arduino Official Website)

Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work

1. Refer to Instruction Manual to assemble the robot chassis.

2. Instruction Manual says nothing about how to deal with motor wire. The next pictrue tells it.
   

3. Finished the robot chassis.Then following the connection diagram to wire the hardware.
   

Sample Code

int speedPin_M1 = 5;     //M1 Speed Control
int speedPin_M2 = 6;     //M2 Speed Control
int directionPin_M1 = 4;     //M1 Direction Control
int directionPin_M2 = 7;     //M1 Direction Control

void setup(){

}

void loop(){
    carAdvance(100,100);
    delay(1000);
    carBack(100,100);
    delay(1000);
    carTurnLeft(250,250);
    delay(1000);
    carTurnRight(250,250);
    delay(1000);
}

void carStop(){                 //  Motor Stop
  digitalWrite(speedPin_M2,0);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M1,LOW);
  digitalWrite(speedPin_M1,0);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M2,LOW);
}

void carAdvance(int leftSpeed,int rightSpeed){         //Move forward
  analogWrite (speedPin_M2,leftSpeed);              //PWM Speed Control
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M1,HIGH);
  analogWrite (speedPin_M1,rightSpeed);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M2,HIGH);
}

void carBack(int leftSpeed,int rightSpeed){       //Move backward
  analogWrite (speedPin_M2,leftSpeed);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M1,LOW);
  analogWrite (speedPin_M1,rightSpeed);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M2,LOW);
}

void carTurnRight(int leftSpeed,int rightSpeed){           //Turn Right
  analogWrite (speedPin_M2,leftSpeed);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M1,LOW);
  analogWrite (speedPin_M1,rightSpeed);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M2,HIGH);
}
void carTurnLeft(int leftSpeed,int rightSpeed){          //Turn Left
  analogWrite (speedPin_M2,leftSpeed);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M1,HIGH);
  analogWrite (speedPin_M1,rightSpeed);
  digitalWrite(directionPin_M2,LOW);
