Description: Zumo - minisumo robot for Arduino v1.2 - complex
Recently, robot tournaments have been very popular in Poland. They are organized in many large Polish cities. Participants can be: pupils, students and other amateur robotics. Among many categories, the most interesting is minisumo, i.e. fights of robots with dimensions of 10 x 10 cm and weight up to 500 g.
Zumo is a platform that meets the requirements of this class. This version has an assembled chassis with 75:1 HP motors, a combat plough and a control plate with a connector for Arduino. To start the fun just insertthe batteries - four big fingers, plug in the Arduino module(UnoorLeonardo) and program the robot by connecting it to the computer via USB cable.
| Arduino compatible product
The manufacturer has prepared auser guideanda library with sample programsfor Arduino users. |
What is in the set?
The product contains electronic and mechanical elements necessary for proper functioning of the robot. The user has it at his disposal:
- two DC motors with75:1 HPgearbox (400 rpm, 1,6 kg*cm),
- mountedstrip with rebound sensors- for detecting ring edges (dohyo),
- integrated motor controller - two-channel bridgeH DRV8835,
- simple sound generator -piezobuzzer,
- 3-axis digital accelerometer withLSM303Dmagnetometer - can be used as a system to detect collisions with opponents,
- 3-axis digital gyroscopeL3GD20H- for measuring angular speed (robot rotation detection),
- a button at the user's disposal connected to output 12 of Arduino, which can be used e.g. to select start mode,
- a voltage stabilizing converter with four AA batteries,
- LED connected to output 13 of Arduino,
- a place to solder your own arrangements,
- a detaileduser guide,
- of the Arduino libraryto all the electronic components mentioned above.
|
In order to start working with the robot you need Arduino module, you can useUnoorLeonardoversion and fourAA batteries- popular big fingers. |
Additional elements
The motherboard allows you to connect various types of additional elements. The user can use, for example, a sensor to detect an opponent in the ring. For this purpose,optical sensorsorultrasonic sonarscan be used.
