In this tutorial, we will expand on the SIK for RedBot to control a robot wirelessly with XBee radios! We'll explore a different microcontroller and wirelessly control the RedBot at a distance. Beware, we'll need to solder the wireless controller together.
Required MaterialsTo follow along with this tutorial, you will need the following materials. You may not need everything though depending on what you have. Add it to your cart, read through the guide, and adjust the cart as necessary.
Heads up!This tutorial uses the RedBot mainboard programmed with Arduino and shadow chassis. Depending on your setup, you can choose
different motor driversfor your motor and
chassis.
