Chapter 7. A Remotely Controlled Mobile Robot

In the final chapter of this book, you will take everything you have learned so far about Arduino and LabVIEW to build a remotely controlled mobile robot. We will build a robot using a kit that is already made, add some Arduino boards and a wireless module, and finally, control everything from LabVIEW.

Hardware and software requirements

Let's take a look at the components required for this robot. The first thing that we will need is the robot chassis itself. You have several options for this part, but I recommend the DFRobot MiniQ 2 wheels chassis. It is a tiny robot with two motors and two wheels and is compatible with most Arduino boards. I chose this robot for its low price point and because it is ...
