Wiring and Attaching an Arm to Your TurtleBot
This tutorial takes you step by step through wiring and attaching an arm for your TurtleBot.
The TurtleBot mobile robot is designed for both academic and hobbyist researchers. The open-source hardware design provides excellent documentation for adding modifications and extending the capabilities of the robot in hardware or software. The robot is available for purchase as a kit or, if your research budget is limited, this guide will help you extend your TurtleBot by adding an arm.
Steps
Step #1: Attaching the ArbotiX Board
Next
- Attach the project box for the ArbotiX board to the top of the TurtleBot. Anywhere on the top plate will do.
- Then place the Arbotix board inside with the FTDI breakout board and power cable attached.
Conclusion
