DIY Vivus the Robot
Intro: DIY Vivus the Robot
This tutorial will show you how to build Vivus the Robot, an autonomous, self navigating little robot. You can get the Vivus the Robot Kit from the BW Science Labs Store here.
STEP 1: Chassis
STEP 2: Motor Gearbox
Here are the side and top views of the gearbox. There are a few ways to piece this together, I recommend that you work from left to right and take it slow.
STEP 3: Power to Microcontroller
NOTE: you may have received a different type of battery holder, where the wires are built into the box. This works just as well, but you many want to wait until the end to screw in the black and red wires.
STEP 4:
STEP 5: Attach Chassis to Motor Gearbox
STEP 6: Prepare Wiring
STEP 7: Motor to Microcontroller Connection 1
STEP 8: Motor to Microcontroller Connection 2
STEP 9: Motor to Microcontroller Connection 3
STEP 10: Motor to Microcontroller Connection 4
STEP 11: Prepare Alligator Clips
Your kit comes with 4 alligator clips. Connect 2 clips to the left and middle leads of each bumper sensor as shown.
