Proportional Joystick Robot Control: Arduino Uno, L298N & 2WD Chassis Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine steering a robot with a thumb joystick where every tiny movement of your thumb instantly translates into smooth, jitter-free motion. This kit captures that experience, turning a simple two-wheeled chassis into a responsive rover that accelerates, reverses, and turns precisely as you move the joystick’s X and Y axes—perfect for understanding real-world motor control principles.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a 2-wheel-drive robot whose speed and direction follow the exact tilt of the dual-axis joystick. The Arduino reads the analog voltages from each axis, maps them to PWM signals, and controls the L298N motor driver to power two TT gear motors independently. The result: a robot that glides forward, back, spins, or pivots with proportional control, not just simple on/off commands.

What You'll Learn

• Reading dual-axis joystick analog values with Arduino
• Generating PWM signals for motor speed control via L298N H-bridge
• Mapping X-Y joystick coordinates to differential drive logic
• Assembling a complete mobile robot chassis and wiring power distribution

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Young tinkerers in ATL Tinkering Labs get an instant, outcome-driven introduction to motor control. CBSE Class 11-12 students can demonstrate sensor-actuator integration for physics or computer science projects, while B.Tech ECE/EEE first-years find it ideal for prototyping a differential drive base without worrying about part mismatches. Makers preparing for Smart India Hackathon will appreciate the ready-to-use mobility platform.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
