For this project, the BOE Shield-Bot is sporting a Ping))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor and Mounting Bracket Kit to look both ways before crossing the street. Your Shield-Bot can get ready to roam too, with these instructions and example code.
What’s Needed
- (1) – Fully assembled and tested BOE Shield-Bot (two options, choose one):
- Robotics Shield Kit (for Arduino), #130-35000 (also needs an Arduino Uno & programming cable – not included)
- Robot Shield with Arduino, #32335 (Arduino Uno & cable included)
- (1) – PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor + Mounting Bracket, #910-28015a
- (1) Optional holder for traveling staff and bundle:
- (2) – L-shaped Mounting Brackets, #720-00011
- (1) – 3/8″ Flathead Screw
