Hardware configuration


Let's start with the most difficult part of this project: assembling the robot itself. Of course, the exact steps will depend on the robot chassis you are using, but the goal is to give you the main steps in this section.

We start by actually mounting the Arduino Yun board on the robot chassis using the screws and headers provided with the chassis itself:

Once that's done, we mount the Arduino Uno board on top of the Yun using an extra row of headers. Then, we tightly screw the Arduino Uno board into the metallic headers.

Then, we mount the motor shield on top of the Arduino Uno board. Next, we insert the cables from the motors into the dedicated headers on the motor shield and secure them with the screws. Make sure that you are using the same polarity for both motors.

Here is the result at this point:

Now, we are going to assemble the CC3000 breakout board on the prototyping shield, which will then sit on top of the robot. To know how to connect the CC3000 board, please...
