Robot Assembly

Putting it all together

If you have followed along the tutorials, and if all the peripherals are working well, its time to assemble the motors, wheels, battery and configure the robot.

We suggest you to make a four wheel robot since it is more stable and can be used on any surfaces. If you are interested in two wheel drive, get the included castor and assemble it.

Pickup four motor holders, screws and nuts to attach to the motors. Carefully align the motors into the holders and attach it to the board. Follow the procedure until all the four motors are assembled.

Push the four rugged wheels to motor shaft and your robot is almost ready. If you have not connected the Bluetooth module and Ultrasonic sensor, its now time to fix them to their respective slots.

Since there are exposed I2C pins, you can extend this platform to include Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer, Magnetometer, OLED, Environmental Sensors like Gas, Temperature, Humidity Sensors.

If you would like to further extend this platform, use the 10 pin space holder to attach a raspberry pi zero and start using ROS based applications, or other python programs. The communication can happend either through Serial Interface, or I2C Interface.

Micro:Xbot is an extremely versatile platform and your imagination is your limit. Extend the possibilities and share your creation with us.
