1. Arrange and check the following items:

A contact board (830 contacts, type MB-102) — 1 pc.
Connecting wires (10cm, male-to-male) — 21 pcs.
A microcontroller Arduino Nano — 1 pc.
A Bluetooth module HC-06 — 1 pc.
DC / DC converters (XL-4005) — 2 pcs.
A power connector (such as dc-005) — 1 pc.
A fuse (2A) — 1 pc.
Connectors for servos (PLS 3pin, 2,54mm pitch, 15mm length) — 2 pcs.
Connectors for connecting jumpers (PLS 2pin, 2,54mm pitch, 15mm length) — 2 pcs.
Resistors on the pin connector (100 ohms, PLS 2pin, 2,54mm pitch) — 2 pcs.
Jumpers (2pin, 2,54mm pitch) — 2 pcs.

2. Set the items on the breadboard.

3. Connect the «ground» of all the items.

All the items are mounted so that one row on the contact breadboard builds a common «minus».

Connect the «minus» of the power connector, the «GRD» pins of the microcontroller and of the Bluetooth module to this «minus» with the black wires.

Connect the «ground» of the pins of the servo connectors to our common «minus» with the brown wires.

4. Power supply converters connection

Using the red wires, connect the power connector «plus» and the DC / DC converters inputs through a fuse.

Using the orange wires, connect the output of the 7V converter to the «plus» pins of the servo connectors.

Using the yellow wires, connect the 5V converter output to the microcontroller and the jumper connectors in accordance with the schematics. Connect the «Vcc» pin of the bluetooth module to the connector of the corresponding jumper.

Connecting the «minuses» and «pluses» in this way, we join the assembled scheme through the power connector to the power source.

5. The microcontroller connection

Using the orange wire, connect the «REF» pin to the microcontroller power supply. This is an optional connection, but you may need it in the future when upgrading this version of the SelfieBot Base 1.1 electronics.

Using the green wire, connect the «RST» pin through the connector of the corresponding jumper to the microcontroller power supply through a 100 ohm resistor.

Connect the «Rx» pin of the Bluetooth module to the «Tx» pin of the microcontroller, and the «Tx» pin of the Bluetooth module to the «Rx» pin of the microcontroller.

6. Connect the servos to the microcontroller and install the jumpers.

Using the purple cable, connect the control pin of the connector for one of the servos through a 100 ohm resistor to the «D6» pin of the microcontroller.

Using the purple cable, connect the control pin of the connector for the other servo, through a 100 ohm resistor to the «D5» pin of the microcontroller. Since this connector is a bit away, use two blue wires connecting them via the contact breadboard.

The assembly of the Selfiebot Base 1.1 electronics on the contact breadboard is ready.

Brief instruction on the primary setup of the Selfiebot Base 1.1 electronics on the contact breadboard

Before supplying power to the assembled Selfiebot Base 1.1 electronics on the contact breadboard it is necessary to:

check if every connection complies with the Selfiebot Base 1.1 schematics;
check the setting of the voltage converters;

To check the setting of the voltage converters it is necessary to:

disconnect their outputs from the rest of the circuit — disconnect the yellow and orange wires from the «OUT +» pins of every DC converter;
connect the power supply to the power connector and turn it on;
make sure with a multimeter that the voltage converter for the servos (connected with the orange wire) supplies a voltage of 7V, otherwise set the voltage of 7V at the converter output by way of turning its potentiometer;
sure with a multimeter that the voltage converter for the electronics connected with the yellow wire) supplies a voltage of 5V, otherwise set the voltage of 5V at the converter output by way of turning its potentiometer;
turn off the power supply and disconnect the electronics from the mains;
reconnect the outputs of all the DC converters to the electronics circuit by way of connecting the orange wire to the «OUT +» pin of the DC converter producing the voltage of 7V, and the yellow wire to the_“OUT+” DC pin of the converter producing the voltage of 5V.

Brief instruction on programming the microcontroller Selfiebot Base 1.1 electronics on the contact breadboard

For programming the microcontroller it is necessary to:

turn off and disconnect, if connected, the power supply from the power supply connector of the electronics;
remove the jumpers;
connect the microcontroller to the PC via a USB-miniUSB cable;
program (download the firmware)the microcontroller using Arduino IDE;
disconnect the USB-miniUSB cable from the microcontroller;
