RC Skid Steer Loader

I created a miniature RC skid steer loader just for fun. The entire build is made of PLA. It is powered by single Li-ion 18650 battery. There are just three types of screws holding it together. I also created a RC controller to control this RC skid steer loader, which you can soon find on my profile. 

You will need:

• 1x Arduino Nano
• 1x NRF24L01 module
• 1x MT3608 Step Up Converter
• 1x 1000uF 16V Capacitor
• 4x 10uF 50V Capacitor
• 2x SG90 Servo Motor
• 1x MX1508 Motor Driver Module
• 2x 6V 100RPM GA12-N20 Motor
• 1x Toggle Switch
• 13x M2.5 8mm Screw
• 12x M2.5 12mm Screw
• 11x M1.6 5mm Screw
• 2x 50 kOhm Resistor
• 2x SI2306 N-MOSFET
• 4x 3mm White Led
• 2x 680 Ohm Resistor
• 2x 3mm Red Led
• 1x 1 kOhm Resistor
• 1x 18650 Li-ion Battery
• 1x TP4056 Charger Module

Simple guide:

Connect all electronic parts as shown in the schematic. To estimate the length of the cables, position both components where you intend to place them and measure the distance between them. Be sure to add an extra 2 cm to the measurement for flexibility.

You can arrange the components as I have (as shown in the following photos) or find alternative placements that work better for you. 

Next, flash your mainboard (an Arduino Nano in my case) and verify that everything is working correctly. Once confirmed, assemble everything and ensure that all connections, metal parts, and pads are properly insulated. Enjoy!

Stay creative and have fun!
