RC Tank Mk1

thingiverse

This is my first RC tank. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLcfcxiph_A. Hopefully, I've provided enough information for people to get creative and build it. The controller was a PS2 controller connected to Arduino, and I've included the code and circuit/PCB diagrams so that should be enough. As for the motherboard in the tank, I've provided Gerber files, BOMs, firmware (Atmel Studio), and detailed PDFs. The tank uses four stepper motors, so two A4988 drivers are required. I'm using a 2800mAh battery from Hobby King, which gives me about two hours of runtime. The tank also has an 80mm fan, 10mm steel balls for the bearings, various M3 bolts and nuts, and 2mm solid core wire to join the track treads. You can either use a gearbox for each stepper motor or not use one at all. If you choose to use a gearbox, only use the files labeled "gearbox." If you don't use one, ignore them. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below. Enjoy!
