I currently working on a begginers kind of project. I have learned so much in fabricating my own chasis.
I used the casing from an old floppy driver. The chasis is four wheeled with back wheels (*2) driven by a motor
SEE : formation of the motor from the datasheet
torque 588mN.m
output power 3.4W
weight 280g
rated voltage 12V
current as no load=max 200mA
speed as no load = 75r/min
rated(with load) = max 1.1A
rated(with load)=56r/min
Currently I have this hooked up to a switch which turns the thing on and ready to move. I have not make a reverse to the switch since I intend to do it the robotic society way.
I will encolse the pics. This is what I want to achieve.
1 The motor turning the back wheels have to be controlled.
2. I will like to have an arm onboard to enable the back side houseing the motor to lift up.
3. I will like to add a microcontroller with a motor driver that way I can do more stuff with my contraption.
4.I will like to attach an arm with wheels at its end. why? This is because when it is extended and bent towards touching the ground it will then serve as a means of turning the vehicle contraption
to the left or right.
My major problem is how to make this thing turn left or right without any further fabrication of steering wheel.
Pls find attahced the vehicle.
