About the Smart Car Kit V2.0 for Arduino
This smart car can go forward and backward, and turn left and right. Controlled by the
SunFounder Uno board, it can realize IR remote control, line following, hand following,
obstacle avoiding, etc.
This car kit is a great platform for you to get started with robotics. After assembling the car
based on the instructions in this booklet, you will learn how to operate the smart car through
6 experiments corresponding to the aforementioned movements. Furthermore, you can
extend more functions or build your own robot based on what's learnt.
Note:
Go to LEARN -> Get Tutorials -> Smart Car Kit V2.0 for Arduino on our website
www.sunfounder.com to view the related code and other materials. Please read this manual
carefully before experiment. You are suggested to follow this guide to assemble the smart
car model and carry out each experiment taking the wiring steps with diagrams. Then, with
the knowledge needed, you may be able to DIY another car!
