Introduction: Terrified Robot Pet
... That you can scare by stepping on it! Poor guy :'(
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS IS NOT THE FULL INSTRUCTIBLE, JUST THE ASSEMBLY OF ALL THE PARTS. EVERYTHING IS STILL HEAVILY IN DEVELOPMENT, A COMPLETELY REFINED&TESTED VERSION IS COMING SOON.
Supplies
Components
- A 3d printer
- Tiny nuts&bolts (use the ones that fit in, locknuts like Nylock are preferred)
- Superglue
- 8 50 mm bolts
Electronic components
- A USB b cable
- An HC-SR04 proximity sensor
- 2 NPN transistors
- 2 Diodes
- 2 270 Ω resistors and 1 10kΩ resistors
- A tiny button (6mm in height or more, at most 16 mm in width and length)
- A 9v battery
- A 9v battery clip
- A breadboard
- An Arduino Uno
- A 6v dc motor
- Wires
- Springs
Below is the full view of the model. Use it to complete the upcoming steps.
Attachments
Step 1: Print It
Print out the following with a high resolution.
Step 2: Attach the 9v Battery
Attach the 9v battery by gluing the heads of all of the bolts into the dedicated holes and securing them with a nut
Step 3: Attach the Motherboard
Attach the Arduino. The nuts should be inside the robot, contacting the motherboard, not the other way around.
Step 4: Attach the Motors and Their Gear Enclosures
- Insert and glue all the poles as shown on the model (DONT GLUE THE GEARS)
- Attach separate side parts and lids by using bolts
Step 5: Place Springs
Place springs and 50mm bolts in the circled spots, and attach the top part. Nuts should contact the top part, not the bottom.
Step 6: Do the Wiring
Place the breadboard on top of the motherboard and do the wiring.
Step 7: Final Steps
Place the button and attach the proximity sensor as shown
