With eProjectBot, you will learn to build an autonomous rover using an Arduino Uno open-source microcontroller board, and programmed by C++ and VS Code.

The eProjectBot rover can:

• Drive two wheels individually by controlling their rotation.

• Use a “P controller” (proportional controller) to drive in a straight line and automatically correct itself.

• Rotate in any direction and defined angles using a gyroscope and accelerometer.

• Stop and avoid objects when detected nearby using an ultrasonic sensor.

Learning objectives in building the eProjectBot rover, includes gaining experience and capabilities to:

• Program using C++ in Visual Studio Code.

• Program and wire an Arduino Uno.

• Build a two-wheeled autonomous rover, eProjectBot.

• Learn specifically about the workings of key electrical components, including a gyroscope, accelerometer, electric motors, motor controller and ultrasonic sensors. These are all critical to the functioning of the rover.

• Wire, program and control different electronic components.

• Integrate all the components and program them to operate simultaneously for the rover to undertake complex tasks.
