Summary

This chapter is very different from the previous chapters that we have gone through. This is because, in this chapter, we looked at every detail to ensure that the learning process aids in your future projects. We started by introducing ourselves to the Arduino MEGA 2560 and even ran the Blink example, which we had executed a long while ago in the very first chapter with Arduino UNO. After that we learnt about servos. What they are and how they are programmed. While programming multiple servos, we faced issues that were concerned with the power requirements for the servos. In the subsequent section, we learned how to select a suitable battery to nullify the issue. We even tested this out and were able to successfully control all the 12 servos through the Arduino MEGA. Then, we imitated the process of building the chassis by looking at the prior art of dogs, and created a simple sketch that helped us visualize what we are ultimately going to build.

In the next chapter, we will actually...
