Arduino + Lego NXT = Arduway

Introducing the first robot which uses LEGO NXT components (motors, wheels, …) and which is not driven by the standard NXT “brain” but it is instead driven by Arduino ( www.arduino.cc ).

    @MAcDaTHo I didn’t know the nunchuck had a gyroscope.
    For this kind of project I do NOT recommend to use accelerometers or gyroscopes.
    You should use a compass, that provides the angle (instead of angular velocity or angular acceleration). This makes it easier… if you build a math model you’ll see why.

    I read somewhere that it is possible to read the sensor data of the wiimote nunchuck through i2c. Would it be possible to use the integrated accelerometer and gyroscope for this project?

    Arduino is driving the motors but it isn’t providing the necessary current.
    This is why I used a L293 chip.

    Arduino (PWM outputs)—> L293 —> motors
