How to Assemble an Impressive Wooden Robot Arm(Part1: Robot for Line-tracking) -- Based on the Micro: Bit

This wooden guy has three forms, it is very different and impressive. Then let us come into it one by one.

Step 1: Description

Armbit is an educational robot. It is based on the Micro: bit programming platform and is ideal for learning STEAM and robotics. With Armbit, robot enthusiasts or beginners can better learn about a lot of electronic and programming knowledge.

Armbit has equipped with many electronic modules such as a sound sensor, line-tracking sensor, color recognition, ultrasonic sensor, RGB indicators, buzzer, etc. The wooden material body is very light and environmentally friendly. The body is very easy to assemble and requires only a screwdriver to install it. With a screwdriver, the user can assemble the Armbit into three different types of robots and all of them are able to combine with different sensors, making Armbit possible to perform a variety of creative gameplay.

Next, we will demonstrate how to install Armbit with line-tracking function.

Step 3: The Assembly of Armbit ( Robot for Line-tracking)_1

Needed parts：

Robot bracket Kit
Screw package
Screwdriver

In this section, you need to follow the steps shown in the picture to assemble the wheel parts of Armbit. First, remove the corresponding board bracket, and then use the corresponding screws to fix the wheel. Pay attention to the reasonable adjustment of the tightness of the screw. This part tests the ability to operate with 3 stars.

Step 4: The Assembly of Armbit ( Robot for Line-tracking)_2

Needed parts：

Robot bracket Kit
Screw package
Screwdriver
DC motor
Ultrasonic sensor

In this section, you need to follow the steps shown in the picture to assemble the main part of Armbit. Pay attention to the orientation of the motor and insert the ultrasonic module at the front of the main body. Pay attention to the reasonable adjustment of the tightness of the screw. This part tests the ability to operate with 3 stars.

Step 5: The Assembly of Armbit ( Robot for Line-tracking)_3

Needed parts：

Robot bracket Kit
Screw package
Screwdriver
Line-tracking sensor

In this section, you need to follow the steps shown in the picture to assemble the assembled wheels and main parts in the first two steps. The wheels are connected and fixed with the main body using nylon columns and screws, and the line-tracking module is inserted into the bottom plate of the main body. Pay attention to properly adjusting the tightness of the screw. This part tests the ability to operate with 4 stars.

Step 6: The Assembly of Armbit ( Robot for Line-tracking)_4

Needed parts：

Robot bracket Kit
Screw package
Screwdriver

In this section, you need to follow the steps shown in the picture to assemble Armbit's upper chassis, which is relatively simple and pay attention to the use of the corresponding screws. Pay attention to the reasonable adjustment of the tightness of the screw. This part tests the ability to operate with 2 stars.

Step 7: The Assembly of Armbit ( Robot for Line-tracking)_5

Needed parts：

Dupont line
Micro: bit Expansion Board

In this section, you need to use the DuPont cable to connect the ports and sensors according to the steps shown in the picture. Pay attention to the port and the corresponding sensor. This part tests the ability to operate 3 stars.

Step 8: The Assembly of Armbit ( Robot for Line-tracking)_6

Needed parts：

Track

In this section, you need to follow the steps shown in the picture to install the Armbit track and use the DuPont cable to connect the ultrasonic module and the Micro: bit expansion board. Pay attention to the port and the corresponding sensor. This part tests the ability to operate 3 stars.
