Description
How to build a Mecanum Wheels Robot_V1
The story
How to bulild a Robot usually is an assay and error process, you can see my first prototype in the next two videos.
I am follower of "how to mechatronics " and this is my version and my experience replicating a similar project.
Changes were:
- I bought mecanum wheels from a chinese vendor
- I implemented CNSshield for arduino instead a PCB
- I add ESD button and different Power ON switch
- In the near future I will implement Computer Vision to use this robot in a Wheelchair to play tennis
- MDF thickness is 5 mm -More ligtht
The app was adapted in MIT app inventor from the ideas, and code of Dejan- Author of "How to mechatronics".
Once this prototypes was built in the test were detected a big conceptual issue this do not comply with:
The rotation axis of each wheel’s top roller should point to the center of the robot.
Even apparently all the features was working well, the side away had problem and the audible noise of the robot was high
In this tutorial we will show how to built the the first prototype :
Future improvements to make in Version 2:
- Frame extended MDF - paint and 45 grades acomplishment
- PCB fabricatd and ordered from PCB way no cnc shield
- Weight Tests
- Computer Vision extension
- Routines and navigation tests
- ON/FF Swithc
- ESD Buttom
- Battery monitoring LED
- Arduno MEGA 2560 controller
Hardware electronics
CNC SHIELD:
HC-05: Bluetooth module:
Stepper motors Nema 17: 4
Batteries:
Lipo: 11.1 for the motor power source for the cncshield
Li Ion: 12 V for the electonics
