After some basic planning I decided on getting the materials ready. So I did some research and look for what I needed.
- Hood – Fabric
- Arduino Uno R3 x1
- Breadboard (small) x1
- Batteries 5V
- Gears ( Various Sizes)
- Wires
- Joystick Controller x1
- Servos x8
- Wooden Board
And waiting for some time, the materials has arrived.
Getting to know Arduino:
Spend a day trying to figure how servos and joystick work. A joystick that can sense both x and y axis, then a click button. The x and y axis sensors are actually 2 built in potentiometer and the click is just a simple button interface. I also tried to see how working with 9G servos. Apparently the once I ordered only have 180 degrees sweep. But I worked around it by using gears.
