A One-board Balancing Bot With a RoboHeart Electronics Board Inside

Most electronics boards require additional components to be attached (for example, an IMU sensor and motor driver), but not ours! RoboHeart is a powerful Maker board that makes it easy to bring your project to the next level (including adding augmented reality elements). It's Arduino-compatible with a full library accessible on GitHub, and our repository has several cool examples from beginner to advanced. You can instantly control your project with your smartphone, and play our augmented reality game minutes after unboxing.

It's just what you need to start building!

1. RoboHeart
2. Motors - 2
3. Wheels - 2
4. Bread board (small) - 1
5. LiPo battery - 1
6. Spacers M2 - 4 + 4
7. Pin headers - 2 sticks

• Attach the spacers to the four corners of the Roboheart.
• Break the pin headers into 4 pieces with each piece containing 5 pins to make a "connecting base" between the RoboHeart and the Bread board.
• In each of these "connecting bases" remove the metal on the center pin which makes it easier to insert in the bread board.
• Insert the "connecting bases" on the bread board and fix the Roboheart on top of it and glue it in to secure the board.

You should be able to insert and take out the RoboHeart easily from the Breadboard after Step 1.

Just like in the video :)

• Break the pin headers into pieces with each piece containing 5 pins to make a "connecting base" just like in the Step 1.
• At approximately mid point of the Bread board at either ends insert two rows of "connecting bases" in parallel with 4 holes apart in between such a way to fit the motor in between and apply glue to hold the motors and the connecting bases together.
• Make sure not to glue them to the Bread board they should be detachable. So you can plug them in at any side of the Bread board.

Attach the wheels to the motors. The entire wheel base should be easily attachable and detachable!

• Since we made the wheel bases detachable now we can attach them back at either ends of the Bread board as shown in the video.
• Place the Roboheart board as well and connect the motor wires to the motor driver. Since there are 3 motor drivers you should choose the appropriate ones as per your code.
• Attach a piece of Velcro in the middle of the Breadboard to secure the battery and connect to the board. Plug in the jumpers for the Sleep pins of the motor driver.
• Flash the Balancing bot code from our GitHub repository! And enjoy the Balancing bot in action ;)

Now you've seen the Balancing Bot in action trying to balance itself, and how you can control it with your smartphone! We know you're eager to get started, so download the app from the Playstore now, and buy RoboHeart on Kickstarter at Early Bird prices: http://kck.st/3wt9VnN
