Building a Mini Round Robot with Original ESP8266

In this chapter, you will learn how to build a two-wheeled mini round robot with the ESP8266 ESP-01 board. As you know, the nifty ESP8266 ESP01 module can handle all the necessary things related to Wi-Fi networking. The Arduino works as the main microcomputer board and the ESP01 works as a Wi-Fi shield for Arduino.

In this chapter, you will learn the following topics:

  • Assembling a Mini 3-Layer Round Robot chassis kit
  • Connecting ESP8266 ESP-01 with Arduino
  • Using logic level converter between ESP8266 ESP-01 and Arduino
  • Connecting motors with motor driver
  • Connecting motor driver board with Arduino
  • Power supply with battery packs (9V and 4xAA)
  • Building/writing a control app with Blynk
  • Moving ...
