Wiring Guide - Flockbot
Diagrams will follow in a future update. This page lists the connections necessary for the Flockbot, listed by the Arduino pin.
The following is the wiring for the WW-11 wheel watcher models only.
Digital Arduino Connections
Digital 0 | V, TX, GND on Bitwizard BoB |
Digital 1 | RX on Bitwizard BoB |
Digital 2 | Interrupt (Pin A) on Left Wheel Watcher |
Digital 3 | Interrupt (Pin A) on Right Wheel Watcher |
Digital 4 | +, M, (B,-) on Left Wheel Watcher (B and - are tied together with a < 10kOhm Pulldown |
Digital 5 | +, M, (B,-) on Right Wheel Watcher (B and - are tied together with a < 10kOhm Pulldown |
Digital 6 | PWM to Right Wheel Servo |
Digital 7 | Free (Formerly LCD I2C Clock and VCC) |
Digital 8 | Free (Formerly LCD I2C Data and GND) |
Digital 9 | PWM to PiCam Servo |
Digital 10 | PWM to Gripper |
Digital 11 | PWM to Left Wheel Servo |
Digital 12 | High Bump |
Digital 13 | Low Bump |
Analog Arduino Connections
Analog 0 | Right-Front Facing IR Sensor |
Analog 1 | Right Facing IR Sensor |
Analog 2 | Center IR Sensor |
Analog 3 | Left Facing IR Sensor |
Analog 4 | Left-Front Facing IR Sensor |
Analog 5 | Battery Indicator |
Battery Indicator
The circuit consists of VCC portion of PWR_IN on the Arduino connected to a 51kOhm resistor and the GND connected to a 39kOhm resistor. The individual values should be 50kOhm and 40kOhm.
Connect the 51kOhm resistor to the 39kOhm resistor to form a loop. At the center, between the two resistors, solder in a wire. This wire will connect to Analog 5 on the Arduino. Cover all exposed wires with electrical tape and shrink wrap the entire line. This should appear to be a thick arch connecting PWR_IN with Analog 5.
Wiring Guide - Flockbot (Arduino with CMUCam2 Variant)
This variant does not make use of the Raspberry Pi, instead allows the Arduino to directly drive the robot.
