Hey Guys, welcome to my Instructables article. So guys today we are going to make a " Table Edge Avoiding Robot ".

Let me first tell you about the main working principle of this robot:

This car uses a very working principle that is as follows: ~ When the car reaches the end of the table i.e. the edge of the table the ultrasonic sensor detects its depth of it and it makes the car go back.

If you have not understood its working principle then take a look at the whole tutorial you might then understand it...

So let's get started with the project :-)

Making of the Chassy :

~ So for making the chassis I am using cardboard which is cut into the size of 10*14 cm.

~ Then we need a gear motor 4pcs.

~ We will stick the motor with the cardboard using the hot glue gun.

~ We move into the wiring of the motors, the wiring will go in this way, we will solder the wires to the motors "+" and "-" terminals. As shown in the above image.

~ We will require a rubber wheel (4pcs) for the motor.

~ Put the rubber wheel in the gear motors. As shown in the above images.

~ Then our chassis is ready.

let's move into the next step...

Attach the Motor Driver With the Arduino Uno & Connecting the Motor Wires With the Motor Driver:

~ Now this step is very simple you need to attach the motor driver to Arduino Uno. Just motor driver according to the pin in the Arduino Uno.

~ So here we go, we need to put all the wires of the motor to the motor driver's Motor terminals.

Just put the first motor's wire to the motor driver M1 terminal. Then put the second motor's wire to the M2 terminal. Do the same with the rest of the motors.

Mounting the UltraSonic Sensor & Bluetooth Module Into the Chassis:

~ We will simply take four jumper wires for Ultrasonic Sensor and four jumper wires for Bluetooth Module.

~ Attach it to the Ultrasonic sensor's pins:

+5v, GND, Trigg, Echo.

~ Attach it to the Bluetooth Module's pins:

+5v, GND, Tx, Rx.

~ Then we will fix the Ultrasonic sensor & Bluetooth Module to the Chassis with the help of Double-Sided Tap.

See the Next Step...

Connection of Ultrasonic Sensor & Bluetooth Module to Arduino...& Battery Holder.

~ Simply Connect the Sensor's:

Trigg to A0 (Arduino)

Echo to A1 (Arduino)

GND to Gnd

VCC to +5V

~ Simply Connect the Bluetooth Module's:

Rx to Tx (Arduino)

Tx to Rx (Arduino)

GND to Gnd

VCC to +5V

Following pin Into the Arduino.

~ We will that a Battery Holder and fix it to the chassis using Double Sided Tap.

Then Connect the GND wire of Holder to the Motor driver's Power GND Terminal. Then Connect the +5V wire to the Vcc or +5V Terminal of Motor driver.

Time to Upload the Sketch:

~ Now connect the usb cable to the Arduino Uno.

~ remove the Rx pin of the Bluetooth Module for the successful uploading of the code.

Now simply upload the following code:
