Arduino Library With Robo Wunderkind

Hello Makers!

Robo Wunderkind has now developed an Arduino library for all the makers out there. It brings the two worlds of Robo Wunderkind and Arduino together. Take a look at this step-by-step instruction and see for yourself how it works! Watch the video to get the visual explanation.

Enjoy :)

Step 1: What You Need

1. Materials Needed:

- Robo Wunderkind Kit https://www.amazon.com/Robo-Wunderkind-Robotics-E...

- ESP32 Board https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-ESP-WROOM-32-Devel...

- 1602 LCD Display https://www.amazon.com/LGDehome-Interface-Adapter...

- A potentiometer https://www.amazon.com/Uxcell-a15011600ux0235-Lin...

- A buttonhttps://www.amazon.com/Cylewet-6%C3%976%C3%979mm-...

- A 10k Resistor https://www.amazon.com/AUSTOR-Resistors-Assortmen...

Wiring (See the image attached) 1602 LCD SDA to ESP32 Pin 23 1602 LCD SCL to ESP32 Pin 22 One side of Button to Pin 5, with the 10K resistor from Pin 5 to 3V3 Other side of Button to Ground Pin 1 of Potentiometer to 3V3 Pin 2 of Potentiometer to Pin 32 Pin 3 of Potentiometer to Ground

2. Libraries needed:
