Khan Academy: Bit Zee Bot: 13. Why Does Bit Zee Need a Motor Controller?

In this video we show you how to attach and wire the L-298 motor controller board to Bit-zee's frame. [6:33]

In this video we hack apart a bread board to create a 5 volt power distribution strip. The 5 volts comes from the center pin in the motor controller and the negative or ground comes from the ground pin on the motor controller. [5:23]

In this video we re-wire Bit-zee's motors to include longer wires and then we re-attach them to his frame. This video shows more detail than the previous motor video and it is shot in real time. This video also shows how to route the...

In this video we show you how to create Bit-zee's fenders out of hair dryer motor mounts and we also take you through how to mount the hair dryer motors in Bit-zee's frame. [10:02]

In this video we connect, bend and wire Bit-zee's IR sensor. This sensor will allow Bit-zee to receive commands from a universal remote control. [1:33]

In this video we show you how to connect Bit-zee's Arduino micro-controller to his frame. [5:04]

In this video we create and wire Bit-zee's bumper switches for a Bit-zee Bot. [9:48]

In this video we discuss some of the key parts of Bit-zee Bot. [3:39]

In this video we take a quick a look at some of the parts we used to make Bit-zee. Although we highly recommend you create your own Bit-zee using parts from products that people would otherwise throw away. [3:46]

Bit-zee Bot goes to school! See students interacting with their final robot creation. [2:22]
