MSMCS Robotics Kit #1

The first robot built by MSMCS Robotics sets a precedent for controlling a robot both autonomously and manually. Being on an Arduino Uno, the autonomy in this case is composed of logic to dictate motion when objects that are within a defined boundary from the ultrasonic sensors. The manual control incorporates the use a phone app to send network packets to an ESP8266mod (12-F) module. From the ESP, the packets are then send via I2C to the Uno where they are decoded and interpreted to dictate motion. While developing these methods of control, different variations of circuitry and software were cataloged to provide clarity to whomever is interested.

The following versions of the robot are described in detail in the following wiki pages:

• v1.0
• v2.0
