For this chassis, the differential drive movement is used based on four separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body. In this case, we have to connect two DC motors from one side of the chassis to one channel of the motor drive, and the other two DC motors to the second channel. The terminals M1A-M1B and M2A-M2B are used for connecting the electric motors to the motor driver. The aluminum profiles have the best strength/weight ratio for a robot. Furthermore, it has excellent corrosion resistance and the ability to connect with precision the profiles during their installation.pinMode(pinI1,OUTPUT); pinMode(pinI2,OUTPUT); pinMode(speedpinA,OUTPUT); pinMode(pinI3,OUTPUT); pinMode(pinI4,OUTPUT); pinMode(speedpinB,OUTPUT); }

There are many possible designs for such a platform. But as an engineer, I start from a specific set of requirements to build a platform capable of hosting different sensors, microcontrollers, and computers. Also, the 3D printed parts allow me to play with different designs to produce the ultimate 4WD robot chassis.In this tutorial, we will learn how to build a 4WD robot chassis using aluminum profiles and 3D printed parts. In the last few years, I have examined different options to build chassis frames, including Perspex, Plexiglas, L shape aluminum profiles, and mild square iron profiles (for a heavy-duty robot). However, I have excluded Perspex and Plexiglas because these materials tend to shatter if bent.

The Zumo Robot for Arduino combines a Zumo chassis with a Zumo shield, which includes a dual motor driver, buzzer, and three-axis accelerometer and compass, giving you all the basic mechanical parts and electronics to build an Arduino-controllable robot (Arduino not included). The newer Zumo 32U4 Robot is a more highly integrated robot also based on the Zumo chassis that includes an Arduino-compatible ATmega32U4 microcontroller and even more sensors (quadrature encoders and a proximity sensor system). If we want to build a robot that will go straight, you need all the frame parts and the components to be perfectly symmetric with the chassis.

Recommendations

The chassis frame is designed to house four geared DC motors with wheels and the ability to drive around with heavy loads. The aluminum profiles provide slots on every side of the chassis frame to assemble the drive system, sensors, microcontrollers and computers, and other components. A 4WD chassis is easy to design, easy to build, robust, and we have many options to attach different components and parts. Several weeks ago, I built an obstacle avoiding robot on a 2WD plastic platform. The platform works well, but it is limited in terms of space and capabilities. Add sensors, an Arduino board and a Raspberry Pi board to detect obstacles and communicate wireless with the robot; Resources:

A complete list of tools that will be useful for the construction of the robot. Programs in the Arduino language are called sketches. Load this sample sketch and your robot will be zooming around in no time! If you have problems with the .ino file, the program is included below in bold, just copy and paste into the Arduino executable window. The driver provides the current to the DC motors at the required voltage but cannot decide how the motors should run. If your goal is to make a robot based around a controller other than an Arduino, we recommend the DRV8833 motor driver carrier or qik 2s9v1 for use with this chassis.Before designing the chassis frame, I have sorted out all the DC motors, wheels, and the battery to power the robot. All of these are put together in a chassis frame of 19cm wide by 29cm long by 10cm high. In this part of the article, we’ll learn the drive system architecture, including the components, assembly, and the 3D printed parts. Assembly of the Chassis: The chassis kit comes with paper instructions that are quite good. The pictures are designed to be supplemental to the paper instructions.
