Interfacing switch and motors

PARALLEL CONNECTION
  • The left side motor wires are grouped together.
  • The right side motor wires are grouped together.
  • This is done in order to control the motors.
                                           

INTERFACING MOTOR WITH ONE SWITCH 
  • The positive and negative terminals of the battery is connected to the middle terminals of one of the switch. 
  • One motor terminal is connected to one of the switch terminal and the other terminal is connected to the other corresponding terminal.
  • The connecting wires are inter-changed and given to other two terminals for reversing the direction of motors.
 
                     
INTERFACING TWO MOTORS TO ONE SWITCH
  • Now one side of motors which are connected in parallel are connected to the switch.
  • This switch controls the direction of both the motors. 
                      


In the same way the other side motors are also connected to another switch.

INTERFACING FOUR MOTORS TO ALL FOUR MOTORS

                          

  • Now the two switches are used to control all four motors.
  • The criss-cross connection is used for controlling the direction of all four motors.

Assembling the Robot

CONNECTING THE MOTOR TO CHASSIS

One motor is connected to the chassis using the bolt attached to the motor


In the same way other three motors are connected to the chassis


The motors wires are connected in parallel


Now all the wheels are connected to the motors in their respective shafts using screws.



Now the battery is fitted above the chassis and connections are done as per the above step.
