SMARS V4

cults3d

Finally, the SMARS V4 has arrived! The main features of this version are the top-hinged battery case, an RGB LED frame, a power switch, and a brand new wheel design. WARNING: THIS DESIGN REQUIRES WELDING! V4 comes with two different configurations: * V4_a is based on Arduino Nano, offering an embedded design with no exposed electronics. I highly recommend this version if you want to use your SMARS in a single modality (like RC cars). This version can also host Bluetooth or Wi-Fi modules, making it ideal for remote applications. * V4_b is based on Arduino Uno and is perfect for continuous changes of the robot's purpose. Connections are easy to modify, and uploading sketches doesn't require disassembly. In the "documentation" folder, you'll find assembly instructions and connection diagrams for both versions. To add Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, simply connect the module to pin 0, pin 1, 5V, and GND. There are plenty of tutorials online; just search for the module's name for more information. You might be wondering why this version isn't free. Here are my reasons: * This version is primarily an aesthetic upgrade rather than a functional one, so buying it won't limit your possibilities in this project. * I've discovered that some people are selling my design without permission, which hurts me since I spent countless hours creating it. * Not enough people use my affiliate links, leaving me without the budget to create new features and mods. I'll continue to share my designs for free, but sometimes I'll release paid designs to keep my projects alive. I hope you understand. Thanks for your support, and I hope you enjoy this new model!
