I am just starting using arduino (self studying), and to begin with I would like to make a small robot which will go forwards after turning on a switch and stop when I turn it off. For that I am planning to use continuous rotation servos as it seems to me that it would be quite easy to work with, plus I might be able to use them somewhere else as well.
So, due to me being a complete noob, I would like to ask for advise which a equipment do I need to use, where I possible might get it from and where can I find useful guides/tutorials for programming using arduino?
Just a bit more detail: For my idea im planning this robot to be like a car type (4 wheels using C.R. servos) and size doesn't matters. Plus as made a little research I possible would be using Arduino Uno as it seams to be easy to work with.
When dealing with robots I think the arduino Nano is the perfect match since it's small in size,and for the project you want to do, it's easy because there is already a servo code in the arduino example sketches the tough part would be actually building the robot for that you should learn some mechanisms and so on.
The Uno is probably the best Arduino for a beginner as most software and add-ons work with it.
Of the small boards a Nano would be better than a Micro because the Nano uses the same Atmega328 as the Uno. The Micro uses the Atmega 32U4 and is not quite as straightforward to work with a PC.
You MUST have a separate power supply for your servo (even with an Uno) as the 5v pin cannot provide enough current for a motor.
