Programming Kuman Smart Car Arduino Robot SM11 with Visuino: Control the Motors

Few months ago, I received a Cool Arduino Robot Car SM11 KIT from the great folks at Kuman generously donated for the Visuino development :-).

I already posted the Assembly Videos:
Unboxing video
Step 1: Installing the Motors and Attaching the Wheels
Step 2: Installing The Boards And Sensors
Step 3: Assemble the Ultrasonic Ranger mount, and install the Ultrasonic Ranger on it
Step 4: Installing the Servo, the Ultrasonic Ranger, and the Battery Box
Step 5: Connecting the Motor Driver Board and the Battery Box Cables
Step 6: Connecting the Sensors, Servo, Buzzer, Button, and Turn Signal LEDs to the Sensor Shield on top of the Arduino UNO
Step 7: Installing The LED Lights and Turn Signals
Step 8: Installing The Infrared Remote Receiver
Step 9: Installing The HC-06 Bluetooth Module
Step 10: Charge and Install The Batteries
Step 11: Program the Arduino with Visuino to Center The Servo

Now it is time to show you how to program the robot.
Here is the first video on: Programming the robot with Visuino  to control the motors.

As shown in the Video, the original wiring of the robot has a small limitation, and does not allow speed control on one side of the Robot, when using the Arduino Servo Library.

Here is the remapping needed to fix this problem:

Original Arduino Board pin mapping with the Arduino Servo library conflict:

Remapped Arduino Board pin mapping compatible with the Arduino Servo library:

Original Sensor Shield pin mapping with the Arduino Servo library conflict:

Remapped Sensor Shield pin mapping compatible with the Arduino Servo library:

I will be posting more tutorials on programming the Robot with Visuino so stay tuned! :-)

Just received new cool SM11 Arduino Robot KIT from Kuman for the Visuino development, and posted Unboxing video :-)

This week I received another Cool Arduino Robot SM11 KIT from Kuman donated for the Visuino development :-).
This is a brand new Kuman product, and I received one of their very first sets.

This set is quite different than the SM2 KIT that I have received before:
http://labpacks.blogspot.com/2017/08/just-received-another-cool-sm2-arduino.html

This set has all the necessary sensors already installed on the chassis, has Rotating Ultrasonic Ranger, infrared obstacle detection and line following sensors, buzzer, and even has LED lights that can be used at night.
It can be programmed as autonomous or remote controlled robot. It has both Infrared Remote and Bluetooth receivers.
The set also includes rechargable batteries and charger for them.
Since the Arduino board is easily detachable, it should be easy to upgrade the board to Mega of other more powerful Arduino, or even install and use Teensy, ESP8266 or ESP32 in the breadboard area.
I will be posting assembly instructions soon, but here is a short unboxing video, and some picture from the parts :-)

This is a stock photo of how the assembled robot looks like:

Here is the unboxing video:

And some pictures of the box and what is included:

I hope you will enjoy the video :-).

Looking forward to assemble it and start programming it with Visuino :-) .

Cheers,

  Boian
