meccanoid_arduino_demo

This is an example for Meccanoid Arduino library.

To try it you'll need the following:

  1. Meccanoid G15 in its human form
  2. Any Arduino
  3. Motor shield or motor driver, to drive robot's wheels. I tried the one based on L293D and it was quite decent
  4. Tamiya Mini female connector with wires - to connect to the robots' battery
  5. Male connectors: CWF-2 to connect one motor and PLS-2 (it fits but not ideally, if you know the exact name of the connectors - please write me) to connect another
  6. 3 resistors of 22 kOhm and 3 resistors of 1 kOhm - to make pullup resistors (according to the manual)
  7. Download the library and add it to Arduino environment using Sketch -> Add library -> Add ZIP library
  8. Try this example: open demo_meccanoids.ino, change pin numbers accourding to your board, and upload it to your Arduino board

You can also check out the reference material, to understand, how do the Smart Modules work
