Assembling Cricket’s Arduino Controller Board
If you received a Cricket kit with the Arduino Controller board already assembled, please
skip this section.
Assembling Cricket requires that you solder the parts onto the controller board and
assemble the robot chassis. I suggest that you assemble the controller first so you can
center the motors after mounting them in the chassis. The Cricket Arduino Controller uses
a printed circuit board (PC Board). The PC board has four surface mount components that
have been soldered in place for your convenience. You will solder the remaining
components. Follow the steps below to complete your controller.
Tools Needed
Soldering Iron
Rosin Core Solder (for electronics)
Small Diagonal Cutters
Small Needle Nose Pliers
Small straight blade screwdriver
Tooth Brush and Rubbing Alcohol (optional)
Multimeter to check voltages (optional and not shown)
