Robotics Training LESSON 8: Setting Speed of the Smart Car

In this lesson we show how to program the speed of the Elegoo Smart Car Version 3.0 using the Infrared (IR) remote control. We take you through the process of using the remote step-by-step, and for your convenience we include the code below. If you want to play along at home, you can pick up your gear HERE.

 

Robotics Training LESSON 7: Calibrating the Smart Car for Distance and Speed


In this lesson we show how to program the Elegoo Smart car to operate with user defined speed and distance. This allows programming by simply stacking simple pre-defined functions. If you want to play along at home, you can get the hardware I am using in this series HERE.

 

Robotics Training LESSON 6: Controlling DC Motor Speed with the L298N

In this video lesson we see how the speed of the Robot Car can be changed by doing analogWrite commands to the Enable pins on the L298N DC motor controllers. The code below presents the results we developed in the video.

 

Robotics Training LESSON 5: Programming Core DC Motor Control Functions

In this video tutorial, we show how to program the Elegoo Smart Car 3 to have simple core capabilities. We create code that will move the car forward or backward by a user defined distance. We also have functions that allow the car to turn by a user defined angle. With these simple functions, we can program the car to move along a path we define. Below is the code we developed in this video.

 

ROBOTICS Training LESSON 4: Fundamentals of Robot Motor Control Using L298N Module

In the video tutorial above we describe the fundamentals of Robot Motor Control Using the L298N control module. This establishes the core functions that will be used throughout the remainder of these lessons. We show how we can create the core motion components of forward, backward, turn left and turn right. The code developed in the lesson above is presented below for your convenience. If you would like to play along at home, you can get the hardware I am using HERE:
