Before starting let’s see first What you will learn from this instructable:

· Making the right hardware selection for your project depending on its functionalities.

· Prepare the circuit diagram to connect all the chosen components.

· Assemble all the project parts (mechanical and electronic assembly).

· Finally designing your own ARDUINO-based Light Tracking Robot.

Mechanical Part

  Our first step will be to make the robot body. so, here we have to make a DIY chassis and assemble TT gear Motor with the robot chassis.

Electronics Part

Now we are going to assemble all the components with the PCB. I have made a PCB file to make it easy to assemble and ordered my PCB from JLCPCB. They are very professional in PCB making and the build time was short. I received my item within 7 working days.

After getting the PCB it was just a less than 2 minutes job to assemble all the components in a proper way.

Arduino Coding

Now I had to upload the code to the Arduino UNO.So I have attached the USB cable that comes with the Arduino UNO board and follows the steps mentioned below

· Open Arduino IDE on your PC

· Connect ARDUINO with PC via USB Cable

· Go to Tools > manage libraries > Search for AF Motor driver and download

· Go to Tools > Board > and select Arduino\Genuino UNO

· Go to Tools > Port > Select proper COM port

· Now Verify the code and then upload it

Assemble all parts together

Here in this part, I am going to assemble all the parts like wheels, chassis encloser together and insert the 18650 li-ion battery on the battery holder.

And here is how it finally looks like…

Now the robot is ready to go…
