Mbed-robot

The mbed-robot is very fantastic robot. We can control this robot by using smartphone. It is little difficult to making this one. But if you made this robot,your skill will improve dramatically.

Let's make.

Step 2: Circuit Design

I made two circuit boards. One is a thing to control the whole. The other is a thing to fix photo-sensor.

These circuits are used mbed,bluetooth-module,9 axis sensor,motordirver(TA7291),and some connectors.

I used eagle to design this circuit.

Step 3: 3D Print

Please download 3D models of these robot components. They are stl file.

Step 4: Assembly

Please see these pictures and assemble some components.

I used some bolts and two hollow screws to fix them.

Step 5: Download Application

I made robot_controller application. You can control the robot by using this application.

It was released in googleplay-store.

Please search "robot_controller" or "lumenbolk"

Step 6: Finish
