Robotorial 01

The basis for the tutorial is a circuit board that also serves as a chassis on which all electronic components are soldered and the motors are mounted. The core component is the "Nano" component from "Arduino". However, you can just as easily design your own SolaRobot and still use suggestions from these instructions. Apart from making the hardware, there are many explanatory videos on how to use the microcontroller efficiently.

We have listed the components used in a list with links to stores where you can obtain them. There are of course many other ways to obtain the necessary materials. We also provide you with the "EAGLE" files so that you have the possibility to customize the board to your needs.

(The EAGLE file [see below] is now the corrected version. The connection between "Nano" and motor driver were unfortunately mixed up in the first version. You can see this in the video. With the new version it is much easier: You can simply solder two seven-socket connectors to the board! The cable fuss is then superfluous! The board layout has also been adapted to the new rules).
