Chapter 1 PREFACE
1.1
Purpose
Our purpose is to offer a learning platform for DIY lovers, makers and beginners, help to get a better
understanding of Arduino, and its expansion system design methods and principles, as well as the
corresponding hardware debugging methods. Further deepen the understanding of the design and application
of Arduino and its extended system.
The instruction manual mainly introduces the installation, hardware and software for Panther- Tank
from the easy to the difficult and complicated. There are two parts for the instruction manual.
The first part mainly introduces how to use the common developing software and the method of
downloading,debugging. And the second part mainly introduces about hardware and software. For the
hardware part, it mainly introduces the functions, principles of every module, and for the software part, there
are many examples for customers, it mainly introduces the applications of the Tank.
There are lots of detailed schematic diagrams and example codes for each module, which is strictly
tested to ensure the accuracy and precision. Moreover, you can easily find the library files in the
corresponding file folder and download through the UART/simulator to the BLE uno board for the
corresponding functions . You can debug each module according to the course or directly assemble the car
to enjoy the fun of a maker.

Product Introduction
"Tank" is ATMEGA328P-PU as the main control chip, and TB6612FGN is used as a multi-functional
crawler car for motor drive chip. Compared with the traditional car, "Tank" is also equipped with wireless
control (Bluetooth, infrared remote control). It can automatically avoid obstacles. Of course, Maker can also
add or subtract other functions through its own Idea, such as adding automatic tracking, PS2 gamepad,
adding wifi control, robotic arm, etc.
"Tank" is equipped with all kinds of materials, technical manuals, routines, etc., and teaches you from
entry to proficiency. Every electronic enthusiast can easily get started and realize the functions they want.
