In a previous post, I mentioned that I had acquired a FEZ Domino. I then started the project of building a robotic platform from it and improving it over time. So here is the beginning of The Machine.
Components
I bought a few components from RobotShop to start the construction of The Machine:
- 4WD Arduino Development Platform from DFRobot. It includes 4 motors (4WD).
- The 2A Motor Controller Shield for Arduino from DFRobot. With 2 outputs for the motors.
- Some hardware pieces.
- Some wires.
I also used a Logitech Dual Action USB game controller to control the robot. The Fez Domino supports joysticks, keyboards, and mice, so no driver needed.
