Arduino Based Perserverance Rover Model (Fusion 360)
Introduction: Arduino Based Perserverance Rover Model (Fusion 360)
With NASA's Perserverance Rover recently landing on mars, I had decided to make a functional model of it using cheap parts and 3d printed parts that anyone can make
I have future plans to make it remote controlled using a bluetooth module and a robotic arm attachement like the real Perserverance rover

Supplies
Parts:
* 3D printed parts
* Skateboard bearing (x 12)
* Machine screws and screw nuts (x 82)
* i used 6-32
* You can cut them to size through the project as needed
* The ammount you use will depend on if you glue certain parts or not
* SG90 servo motor(x 4)
* With horn and screws
* Yellow dc motor (x 6)
* https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51C-m4mTFvL._SX342_.jpg
* Black Electrical tape (optional)
* Wood board (for main body)
* 19.5 cm * 64 cm (x 2)
* 30 cm * 64 cm (x 2)
* 19.5 cm * 30 cm (x 2)
* The overall dimensions and thickness can vary for preference.
Electronics:
* Yellow dc motors(x 6)
* SG90 servo motor (x 4)
* With horn and screws
* Arduino
* wire
* Power supply
* I used AA batteries, but you can use whatever you want
* L298N motor driver (at least x 2)
3D Printed Parts:
* Body_Connector_BearingScrewCap (x2)
* Body_Connector_Big_Left
* Body_Connector_Big_Right

* Wheel_Tire_MiterGear (x6)
Tools:
* 3D printer
* Screw driver

* Soldering iron
* depending on how you make the circuit
Step 1: 3D Print Parts
3D print the following parts, the ones without a count must simply be printed once:
* Body_Connector_BearingScrewCap (x2)
* Body_Connector_Big_Left
* Body_Connector_Big_Right
* Body_Connector_Small_Left
* Body_Connector_Small_Right
* Body_Frame_ConnectorMount (x4)
* Body_Frame_Mount (x2)
* Wheel_Main_Body_Corner (x4)
* Wheel_Main_Body_Middle (x2)
* Wheel_Main_DriveMiterGear (x6)
* Wheel_Main_SteerGear (x4)
* Wheel_Steer_Body (x4)
* Wheel_Steer_DriveGear (x4)
* Wheel_Tire (x6)
* Wheel_Tire_MiterGear (x6)
Step 2: Install Screw Nuts
A lot of the parts contain slots to fit in the Screw Nuts. However depending on your preferences, you might want to glue the parts instead.
Step 3: Assemble Corner Wheel Drives
1. Install Yellwo DC Motor:
2. Attach the yellow dc motor inside the Wheel_Main_Body_Corner 3d printed part.
3. You can use the screw holes (drill to widen hole if nececary) or glue the part directly as I did.

Install Bearing:
5. Press fit a skateboard bearing on the little nub.
6. If loose or for preference, you can glue the bearing directly on.
7. Add Miter Gear:
8. Press fit a Wheel_Main_DriveMiterGear on the motor on the side with the bigger hole.
