4WD Arduino Compatible Basic Mecanum Robot
Description
- Suspension structure ensure road gripping of each wheel
- Mounts reserve for Ultrasonic and IR sensors
- DC motor with encoders
- Includes Arduino Microcontroller and IO expansion board
- Comes assembled with only wheels not attached
The 4WD Arduino Compatible Basic Mecanum Robot is a four wheels drive mobile kit designed for hobbyists and students to learn about the function of Mecanum wheels. It includes four 12VDC motor with encoders. Its chassis is made of Aluminum-alloy and has pre-drilled holes for microcontroller. Dimensions: 250mm from center of wheel to center of wheel, 350mm overall length; 343.4mm overall width.

Arduino 328 microcontroller board
It is a microcontroller board based on the Arduino 168. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 8 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

Nexus Robot provides the ultimate functional expansion for Arduino IO Expansion V1.2 and gives you extra ease to connect device such as sensors, servo and RS485 device. This sensor expansion board is able to easily connect a number of commonly used sensors.

I cant give five stars because i havent prove the robot at all but it seems is OK
Maybe $250 worth of hardware being sold for $900. Non-existent documentation. One motor encoder was jammed on arrival and had to be fixed before it would spin. Chinese manufacturer's website offers little to no help.
Bjr, What is the size of the platform? Thank you
Value for money mecanum robot platform available in the market, which works out of the box. The only drawback is, there is no ROS driver and it is not straight forward to implement ROSSerial communication with it. It has some issues with serial communication, which need some code fix in the onboard controller.
Rapport qualité-prix de la plateforme robotique mecanum disponible sur le marché, qui fonctionne immédiatement. Le seul inconvénient est qu’il n’ya pas de pilote ROS et qu’il n’est pas simple d’implémenter une communication ROSSerial avec ce dernier. Il y a quelques problèmes avec la communication série, ce qui nécessite une correction de code dans le contrôleur intégré.
