STEP1:
Plug the Crowtail-Motor Base Shield onto the Arduino or Crowduino board.
Hardware Connection
STEP2:
Connect Crowtail-Thumb Joystick to A4&A5 port of Crowtail-Motor Base Shield. Connect
Crowtail-IR Emitter, Crowtail-Collision Sensor and Crowtail-Switch to D3, D2 and D5 port of Crowtail-
Motor Base Shield. Open the P20_IR_Emitter_Code inside the P20_A_Remote_Control_Car folder
with Arduino IDE and upload it.
STEP3:
Connect Crowtail-IR Receiver, Crowtail-Bright LED and Crowtail-Buzzer to D2, D3 and D4
port of Crowtail-Motor Base Shield. Connect the two Micro-Speed Motor to the motor interface of
Crowtail-Motor Base Shield. The OUT1 and OUT2 interfaces are connected to the same motor
positive and negative poles, and the OUT3 and OUT4 interfaces are connected to the same motor
positive and negative poles. Be careful not to connect the motor to the interval interface, such as
OUT1 and OUT3, otherwise the motor will not work properly. Open the P20_IR_Receiver_Code
inside the P20_A_Remote_Control_Car folder with Arduino IDE and upload it.
Note: Because the motor consumes more power, after uploading the code, you need to provide additional
power for the Crowtail-Motor Base Shield (usually connect 9V power supply for the power input port of the
motor base shield) and then turn on the onboard power switch(you don’t have to power Crowduino/Arduino,
because the motor base shield will share the power with Crowduino/Arduino).
