The Mk.3 (SERB). 124; Comments RSS. Welcome to Mike’s Robots. Posted on November 22, 2008. Thanks for stopping by my page. I am currently working on one robot, a mini-magellan robot called the Mk.2. For lack of a better name. Currently construction is almost complete, I have just completed installing the Pololu motor controller and now the beast can move! Next item on the agenda is to give it some “eyes”…IR and ultrasonic sensors to detect objects, and a GPS to navigate. I like sharing the knowledge I ha...

Mk.2 electronics | Mike's Robots
https://mikesrobots.wordpress.com/the-mk2/mk2-electronics
The Mk.3 (SERB). 124; Comments RSS. I am using a Freeduino variant of the excellent Arduino microprocessor board. I purchased my Freeduino kit from NKC Electronics. Our club has bought several freeduino’s from NKC, and I would recommend them highly. I chose the 9 pin serial version for compatibility with my handheld GPS unit which has a 9 pin serial connection. In this picture you can see the Freeduino mounted on the robot. Freeduino on the robot. Build your own Mk.2. The Mk.3 (SERB).

The Mk.3 (SERB). 124; Comments RSS. Build your own Mk.2. 9pin serial Freeduino from NKC Electronics. 1699 I ordered this version of the Arduino microcontroller board because it has a 9pin serial which will plug directly into my handheld GPS unit. I have ordered from NKC several times for personal use and for Arduino’s to give away at club competitions, and would recommend them to anyone. Dealing with interfacing a GPS.

Mk.2 motor control | Mike's Robots
https://mikesrobots.wordpress.com/the-mk2/mk2-motor-control
The Mk.3 (SERB). 124; Comments RSS. For now I abandoning the plans I had to create a relay based motor controller for the Mk.2. I received a Pololu motor controller. For my birthday (thanks Winston! And will be using that. Here is a picture of it:. 14amp continuous, 30amp peak, 5.5 to 16volts, separate PWM inputs for each motor. Motor control parts list:. Pololu Dual VNH2SP30 motor controller from here. Misc wire, connectors, terminal strips. Spare darlington chips, see above.🙂. Build your own Mk.2.

Motor test code | Mike's Robots
https://mikesrobots.wordpress.com/the-mk2/mk2-motor-control/motor-test-code
The Mk.3 (SERB). 124; Comments RSS. Here is the code I used for testing the motors and the Pololu motor driver. It is a just a simple test that runs each motor from stop to full speed and back to stop over and over. Mk2 motor test. Used the example sketch Fading as a basis for this program. Connections from Arduino to Pololu motor controller. Arduino pin 6 connected to motor controller pin 1INa. Arduino pin 7 connected to motor controller pin 1INb. Arduino pin 3 connected to motor controller pin 1PWM.
