4wd Bluetooth Robot Car V2.0 Kit

Recently purchased the smart little turtle robot V2.0 for my 12 year old, it is all assembled right. But I cant get it to do anything, have I missed something.

I am new to arduino and have tried to follow all the guides. When I go to upload a program (via usb) on to the robot I get a variety of different error messages.

When I try with bluetooth I can pair and connect to the robot, but it doesn't appear to be connect right (the red light just continues to flash).

Any help anyone can give me would be apprieciated.

I am located in Adelaide, South Australia and would be interested in catching up with someone nearby that has got one of these working.

UPDATE

there is a secondary circuit board that connects on top of the arduino board, which is meant to control the robot, when I disconnect everything on that board it gets "done uploading" message, but it still doesnt do anything

FURTHER UPDATE.

The secondary circuit board has a bluetooth dongle inserted.

If we remove the bluetooth dongle we get the "done uploading" message everytime.

However even after it is done uploading the robot still does nothing. Do I need to do anything to make it start

When you tell your child how beautiful the world is, it is better to take him directly to feel it; when the child asks you why the small alarm clock always sings, it is better to open the alarm clock and explore the secret of the sound with your child. When your child has a desire for a robot gift, you might do it with him as well! Now with ARDUINO, everything is impossible.

Arduino is a convenient, flexible and easy-to-use open source electronic prototyping platform, which is suitable for entry-level developers who are new to hardware. Now our keyestudio team has upgraded the turtle robot based on the turtle generation1, adding some more interesting features. Let you enjoy the DIY fun and programming while learning with your child.

keyestudio Smart Little Turtle V2.0 is an enhanced kit based on easy-to-use and flexible Arduino platform. You are able to learn how to get started with both Arduino platform and Mixly block coding.

We provide you with complete tutorials of Arduino programming language and Mixly Graphical program to control the smart turtle robot, achieving the functions of line tracking, automatic obstacle avoidance, Bluetooth control and infrared remote control.

Furthermore, it adds a 8*8 matrix that can show you the running states of robot. The wiring for the turtle robot is more simple.You can easily build the robot with a little or even no programming experience.

When get this turtle robot kit, at first glance, you will see the beautiful big packaging box. And each component is tidily packed inside the small box. What components you should get to build the robot? We have listed all the components as follows:

When all the components have been counted well, cannot wait to assemble it? Follow the assembly steps here to build your own robot.

(1) How to get started with? Begin with the bottom parts.

Firstly, you should prepare the components as follows:

When it comes to using the UNO R3 as core of our robot, the UNO is the best board to get started with electronics and coding. If this is your first experience tinkering with the platform, the UNO is the most robust board you can start playing with.

Overview:

In the previous project, we have simply tested the LED. Now we have added a new 8*8 Dot Matrix module to the turtle to show the robot states. Amazing display!

Do you know how is the cool advertising display made? It is exactly composed of these small LED matrix. If you want to make a similar display, this keyestudio 8*8 Dot Matrix module will meet you need.

This tiny display has 64 LEDs packed into a 8*8 dot matrix. It integrated HT16K33as driver chip, so with this LED matrix module, you can control it through connecting the I2C communication interfaces ( A4-SDA ; A5-SCL).

It is great for displaying image/text or creating bizarre patterns, and is highly portable and convenient to use. Of course you can program it via IDE or via Mixly block. With just a few steps, you are ready to impress others!

Overview:

There are many ways to drive the motor. Our robot uses the most commonly used L298P solution.

L298P is an excellent high-power motor driver IC produced by STMicroelectronics. It can directly drive DC motors, two-phase and four-phase stepping motors.

The driving current up to 2A, and output terminal of motor adopts eight high-speed Schottky diodes as protection. We have designed the motor driver shield based on the L298P circuit.

The stackable design can make it be plugged directly into the Arduino, reducing the technical difficulty of using and driving the motor.

When stack the driver shield onto UNO R3 board, after the BAT is powered on, press the POWER button lightly. The external power will be supplied to both the driver shield and UNO R3 board at the same time.

In order to facilitate wiring, the driver shield comes with an anti-reverse interface. When connecting the motor, power supplyand sensor modules, you just need to plug incorrectly.

The Bluetooth interface on the driver shield is fully compatible with keyestudio HC-06 Bluetooth module. When connecting, you just need to plug HC-06 Bluetooth module into the corresponding interface.

At the same time, thedrive shield solders 2.54mm pin headers tolead outsome unused digital ports and analog ports, so that you can continue to add other sensors for experiments extension.

Project Principle:

Using the characteristic that black has low reflectivity to light.

When flat surface is not black, the infrared light transmitted by the sensor will be reflected back mostly, so the sensor outputs low level 0.

When the flat surface has a black line and the sensor is above the black line, the reflected infrared light is very less due to the weak reflectivity of black, so it does not reach the action level and sensor outputs high level 1.

Use the main control board to determine whether the output end of sensor is 0 or 1, finally detect the black line. The main control board will control the turning direction of motor according to the received signal, so finally can control the movement of smart car. This is a simple line tracking robot.

Description:

It is rather not suitable for human to work in some relatively harsh environments. At this moment, if we have a robot that can shuttle freely in such environments, then how good should it be!

Based on this original intention, our team develop the robot that be able to automatically avoid an obstacle when running on complicated terrain.

This project is a simple and automatic obstacle avoidance system based on Arduino control board.

The smart robot with UNO R3 as the controlling core, makes use of ultrasonic module and micro servo of 180 degrees to detect the obstacles, and the detection signal will feed back to the control board.

Arduino main board will then analyze and judge the collected signals to control the motordriving in time. Finally control the smart car automatically avoid an obstacle ahead to run forward smoothly.

Test Result:

Upload the above code to the control board, and stack well the drive shield onto control board, then press lightly down the POWER button on the drive shield.

When detects an obstacle ahead, our smart robot is able to automatically avoid it to run forward freely. You can try it out and see whether it works in that way.

What you will see?

Upload the above code to the board, and turn on the POWER button on the shield. Aligned with the IR receiver, use remote control to control the turtle robot run, showing the running states on the dot matrix display.

Overview:

In the previous section, we have introduced how to use an IR remote control to control a 8*8 dot matrix. So think that how to control the smart robot with an IR remote control.

It is very simple. Use ARDUINO board to analyze and judge the collected infrared signal so as to drive the motor forward,backward and turn.You can apply the decoding value of remote control mentioned before to the code that used to control the robot with IR remote control.It also adds a 8*8 dot matrix to display the running state of turtle robot.

In the previous section, you have learned the principles of Bluetooth and how to use Bluetooth to control a small light. Okay, based on that, could we use Bluetooth to send a command to control the robot run?

Absolutely yeah. In the previous section, we can use a mobile APP to send a character. Use a Bluetooth module to receive the Bluetooth signal from the mobile phone, and feed it back to the main control board. Then main control board will analyze and judge the collected signals. If correct, it will control the robot run.

Here we don't need a Bluetooth serial assistant as mentioned above. Just use an Android APP developed by our keyestudio team to control the robot.

Example Result:

Done uploading the above code to control board, turn on the POWER button on the shield, then open APP, connect to Bluetooth, you should see the LED on the Bluetooth module is normally on.

Press down any buttons on APP, you can control the smart robot to run freely, showing the state image on the dot matrix display.

Example Result:

Done uploading the above code to control board, turn on the POWER button on the shield, then open APP, connect to Bluetooth, you should see the LED on the Bluetooth module is normally on.

Then use an IR remote control to select the function modes to make the robot run freely, showing the state image on the dot matrix display.
