Installation of the Car
Please open the video file and watch the video No.1 “Installation of the
Car” to finish car installation. If there are some components missing,
please do not worry. Just contact us, we will send you the replacement.
Installation Attentions:
Motor installation:
 Motor *4
 Motor holder *8
 PM3*25 screws *8
 M3 Screw nuts *8
Please pay attention to the direction of the motor. Firstly make sure the
motor wires can connect motor power slot. And there is a bulge on each
motor which should face to corresponding wheel. Make sure the motor
power wires should not cover the infrared sensors.
6
Battery box installation:
 Battery box *1
 M2.5*8 screws *2
 M2.5 screw nuts *2
Please understand that you should prepare battery by yourself because of
shipping security problem. The model of battery is 3.7V 4800mAh
18650.
UNO R3 board installation
 M3*20 Copper screw *4
 PM3*6 screw *8
There may be one screw not tighten enough. But it could fix UNO R3
board. We will improve this in future.
Please watch the video No.1 “Installation Of the Car” to see the detail
steps.
7
Car Testing
After installing the smart robot car, we should take a basic test of the
robot car. Please open the video file and watch the video No.2 “Car
Testing”.
Testing includes:
 Buzzer testing
 Infrared tracking line function
 Infrared obstacle avoidance function
 Motor operation
Before testing, please understand that you should prepare battery by
yourself because of shipping security problem. The model of battery is
3.7V 4800mAh 18650.
After installing the battery. Then turn on the power switch, you will see
two red LED light up.
Buzzer testing: connect pin named “Buzzer Control Signal” to GND, if
you can hear the buzzer make sounds, that means the test passed.
Infrared tracking line function: This function is achieved by two
infrared transceivers diode on the back of the smart robot car baseboard.
Its working principle is that the reflection intensity of infrared depends on
the different color object. The color darker, the reflection intensity lower.
The indicator lights of tacking function are 2 green LED light as
following picture shows.

8
9
There is a potentiometer behind the indicator light. You can adjust the
potentiometer, if the infrared transceivers diode covered by hand, the
indicator LED lights up. If move away your hand, the indicator light turns
off.
Infrared obstacle avoidance function: Adjust the potentiometer behind
the indicator light, if there is a obstacle in front of the car, the
corresponding indicator LED lights up. Or the LED turns off. This
function is relative with the environment, it varies with different
surrounding which needs adjust the sensitivity before operation
Motor operation
Connect the wires as following:
Pin on Motor Control Interface Connect Results
M1 and M3 5V Left motor move backward
M1 and M2 5V Left motor move forward
M5 and M6 5V right motor move forward
M4 and M6 5V right motor move backward
Please watch the video No.2 “ Car Testing” to see the detail steps.
10
Warning
 Please make sure Arduino UNO R3 development board will not
powered by batteries or USB data cable at the same time. Otherwise
the development board may be destroyed
 Before burning the program, please disconnect the pin 0-RX and
1-TX on UNO R3 development board. If the pin 0-RX and 1-TX is
connected, it may be unsuccessful to burn program.
 Please watch the related videos and do experiments
 Please connect the wires correctly to prevent short circuit or open
circuit.
 Children must be accompanied by an adult to do experiments.
 Use lithium battery correctly
Do not connect the battery contrarily
Do not disassemble the battery
Do not throw the battery into fire
Do not mix new and used batteries together
11
Attentions
1. Please power the smart robot car by batteries while doing experiments,
and avoid USB data cable supplying power. After burning program,
please pull off USB data from UNO R3 board then start the car.
2. Please take off the battery when you are not doing experiments ,this
can protect battery.
3. Please cut off the power supply wires (5V and GND) from UNO R3
board to smart robot car baseboard while burning program.
4. When doing infrared tracking black line and infrared obstacle
avoidance experiment, please adjust the potentiometer carefully.
Make sure the sensitivity is best. It is better to operate indoor and
keep the brightness of all side same.
12
Robot Car Baseboard and UNO R3 Board Interfaces
Before doing experiments, we should know the interfaces of smart robot
car baseboard and UNO R3 board. And we get to know how to install
UNO R3 development platform environment and burn the experiment
program.
Interfaces

program are in the “Experiments Program Code” When doing the
experiment No.2 PWM speed, we could control car speed by adjusting
the value of pwmval_left_init and pwnval_right_init. Please open the
video No.3 “Full Speed and PWM Move Forward” to see the detail
steps.
All the experiments should be paid attentions to below:
 Please cut off the wires from UNO R3 board 5V/GND to Smart Robot
Car before burning program. Otherwise, it maybe lead electronic
components destroyed
 You should add library file “MsTimer2” before running the program
17

Burn the program named“assist program”, and keep the data cable
connecting, press the IR keyboard and you will see the corresponding key
value in the COM monitor window.
After finishing assist program test, we can go on experiments
No.12.Please note that“assist program”program cannot finish
experiment No.12. It is just a test program. Please burn the program
named “ir_remote_ctl” to finish experiment No.12.
Please connect wires as following before doing experiments No.12.
