LadyBot

thingiverse

The Arduino NanoV3 boasts a compact design packed with an impressive array of features typically found on larger boards. Online retailer AliExpress offers these boards for under two euros, complete with free shipping. When paired with the H-bridge IC L293D and a printed circuit board, we have at our disposal a versatile circuit capable of controlling LEDs, DC motors, stepper motors, relays, and more.\r\nThis project transforms an Arduino into a LadyBot featuring two small geared DC motors. By adjusting the wheel positions, it can mimic the movement of an insect with remarkable accuracy. The design also includes multiple input/output options for further customization, such as integrating a microphone or buzzer.\r\nTo bring your LadyBot to life, simply print it in red and paint its head and back dots black. No additional support is required.\r\nThe accompanying Arduino sketch demonstrates how to adjust the speed and direction of each wheel independently.
