Metode Eksperimen Design and Build a 2WD Car Robot Using Arduino UNO with a Wireless Joystick Control System

Abstract

This research aims to develop and realize a 2WD car robot that uses an Arduino UNO and is controlled by a wireless PS2 joystick. The method used in this research is experimental, which includes system design, hardware assembly, programming, and performance testing. The designed system integrates the joystick as input, Arduino for data processing, and the L298N motor driver to control DC motors. The test results showed that the robot could effectively carry out instructions from the joystick, such as moving forward, backward, turning, and stopping. The system's response time is relatively fast, approximately 1 second, allowing for real-time control. The wireless connection proved stable at distances between 1 and 5 meters, but its performance decreased at longer distances and was disconnected at around 10 meters. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the system has functioned according to the intended design, although it still. although it still has limitations in communication range. Therefore, it is recommended to use a communication module with a wider range and to add sensors to improve the robot's capabilities. This research is expected to serve as a reference in the development of microcontroller-based robotic systems.
