Arduino Robotics Projects. Make 2 wheel, 4 wheel and walking Arduino powered robots.
As always, I have made every effort to make the projects in this book as simple, easy to build and as easy to understand as possible. However the reader or builder must take all safety precautions in building these projects. The safe construction and operation of these devices are solely the responsibility of the reader or builder. The author assumes no liability for the safe construction and operation of these devices.
This is the third book of my “Arduino projects” books. The first two were “Arduino LED Projects” and “Arduino LCD projects”. Each book gets more technical and complicated. Each book builds on the knowledge that is gained in the previous books. It is highly recommended that you progress through the books in the order that they were written. However, if you are already well trained in electronics, you can join in wherever you want with whatever project you want to build.
