The Refit is coming along

The last few days have been spent refitting and re-wiring the robot to accomodate the EZBV4 controller and the Arduino's and new power supply.

The robot is now 12V powered from one battery mounted below the main deck between the front wheels.  From there the power is routed to a fuse, and a switch and then to a DC-DC converter which provides 6V to another switch and is then routed to the EZBV4 and the Arduino's for computer power.  The 12V power is routed to the two motor controllers to control the steering motor and the drive motor.


Not the neatest wiring, but I am clearing it up as I go...


The EZBV4 controller wired to the motor controllers.


The original Hero Jr. Speaker mount.


Rewired the back panel for the 12v switch, the 6v switch, a USB port and the battery charging port.


Drive Motor


Drive motor controller.  Steering Motor and control in the background.


I have the original distance sensor, light sensor, IR sensor.


Original keypad and LED matrix.  All are being used in the new build.



Getting ready to put the rest of the skins on...
