Pan unit¶

Optionally, an additional servo can be purchased, and the robot can be extended by a pan unit (swivel unit). The complete kit already includes an additional U-holder with accessoires. Sensors or faces, for example. can be mounted on this. Please also have a look at the additional download for the Robobug. In the download area there are various 3D printable files available to expand your robot. The Pan unit is mounted in the same way as the legs are. Figure 81 shows the fully assembled Pan unit on the robot.

The servos can then be controllers via a user board, e.g. via the Arduino™ UNO. The servo is connected to one of the pin headers SU1 to SU3.

Tilt unit (3D-printable)¶

Figure T1

The 3D models can be printed with a standard FDM 3D printer with a minimum print area of 60 x 60 x 60 mm and in different combinations for different servos, sensors and head models. The 3D printed part “B1 PanMount” has to be attached to the pan bracket which is already included in the Robobug set. An additional MF-06HEX 6V-Servo drives the pan unit.

The Tilt Unit always consists of three parts:

1x PanMount.stl
1x Mount-Servo-xxx (xxx = servo type)
1x Mount-Tilt-xxx-yyy (xxx = name of the application - yyy = servo type)

The RGB LED WS2812 and the ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 or SR05 can be glued to the mountings and connected to the controller board of the RoboBug. With this unit, you already have a friendly-looking robot with ultrasonic rangefinder, for example to avoid obstacles. The RGB LED could for example display the battery charge level with changing the color from green to red.
