Arduino 8 Relay Car

Arduino 8 Relay Car

By Adeept 40,043

Introduction
Today we use a 8-way relay to make a four-wheeled car.

Components
– 1 * Adeept UNO R3 Board
– 1 * 8 Channel Relay Module
– 4 * DC Motor
– 10 * Male To Female Jumper Wires
– 1 * 18650 battery box
– 2 * 18650 lithium battery
– 1 * Adeept Acrylic plate
– 4 * Wheel
– 9 * M3*30 Screw
– 10 * M3 Nut
Some Jumper Wires

Experimental Principle 

This is a 5V 8-channel replay interface board which is able to control various appliance, and other equipments with large current. It can be controlled directly by Microcontroller(Arduino,8051,AVR,PIC,DSP,ARM,MSP430,TTL logic). 5V 8-Channel reply, interface board, and each one needs 15-20mA driver current. It equippes with high-current relay AC250V 10A and DC30V 10A also screw holes to install easily.
Experimental Procedures
Step 1: Build the circuit

Step 2: Program  Adeept8RelayCarCode.ino

/***********************************************************
File name: Adeept8RelayCarCode.ino
Description: Use 8-way relay to make a 4-wheel car.The car runs 
             forward for 1 second, for 1 second for backward,
             1 second for left, and 1 second for right. Cycle operation.
