Introduction
Nowadays, technological education such as VR, kids programming, and artificial intelligence, has become mainstream in educational industry. Thereby, people attach importance to STEAM education. Arduino is pretty notable in Maker education.
So what is Arduino? Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. Based on this, Keyestudio team has designed a 4wd robot. It has a processor which is programmable using the Arduino IDE, to mapped its pins to sensors and actuators by a shield that plug in the processor, it reads sensors and controls the actuators and decides how to operate.
15 learning projects, from simple to complex, will guide you how to make a smart 4wd robot on you own and introduce the detailed knowledge about sensors and modules.
Simultaneously, it is the best choice if you intend to obtain a DIY robot for learning programming, entertainment and competition requirement.

8. Projects
The whole project begins with basic program. Starting from simple to complex, the lessons will guide you to assemble robot car and absorb the knowledge of electronic and machinery step by step. I reckon that you could hardly sit still and itch to have a go, let’s get started.
Note: (G), marked on each sensor and module, implies negative pole, which is connected to “G”, ”-”or “GND”on the sensor shield and control board ; (V) represents positive pole, which is linked with V , VCC, + or 5V on the sensor shield and control board.
Project 1: LED Blink
(1)Description
For the starter and enthusiast, this is a fundamental program---LED Blink. LED, the abbreviation of light emitting diodes, consist of Ga, As, P, N chemical compound and so on. The LED can flash diverse color by altering the delay time in the test code. When in control, power on GND and VCC, the LED will be on if S end is high level; nevertheless, it will go off.
(2)Specification
- Control interface: digital port
- Working voltage: DC 3.3-5V
- Pin spacing: 2.54mm
- LED display color: red
(3) Equipment
(4) Wiring Diagram
The expansion board is stacked on development board, LED module is connected to G of shield, “+”is linked with 5V, S end is attached to D3.
(5)Test Code：
/*

Blink

*/
void setup()
{
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);// initialize digital pin 3 as an output.
}
void loop() // the loop function runs over and over again forever
{ digitalWrite(3, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(3, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}//*******************************************************************
(6)Test Result
Upload the program, LED flickers with the interval of 1s.
(7)Code Explanation
pinMode(3，OUTPUT) - This function can denote that the pin is INPUT or OUTPUT
digitalWrite(3，HIGH) - When pin is OUTPUT, we can set it to HIGH(output 5V) or LOW(output 0V)
(8) Extension Practice
We succeed to blink LED. Next, let’s observe what LED will change if we modify pins and delay time.
/*

*/
void setup() { // initialize digital pin 11 as an output.
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop()
{ digitalWrite(3, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(100); // wait for 0.1 second
digitalWrite(3, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(100); // wait for 0.1 second
}//****************************************************************
The LED flickers faster through the test result, therefore, pins and delay time affect flash frequency.
Project 2: Adjust LED Brightness
(1)Description In previous lesson, we control LED on and off and make it blink. In this project, we will control LED brightness through PWM to simulate breathing effect. Similarly, you can change the step length and delay time in the code so as to demonstrate different breathing effect. PWM is a means of controlling the analog output via digital means. Digital control is used to generate square waves with different duty cycles (a signal that constantly switches between high and low levels) to control the analog output.In general, the input voltage of port are 0V and 5V. What if the 3V is required? Or what if switch among 1V, 3V and 3.5V? We can’t change resistor constantly. For this situation, we need to control by PWM.
