Reader Shaun Crampton sent us the specs for the second prototype of his ArduRoller:
- Chassis: laser cut 2.7mm bamboo ply (Ponoko); various M2.5 machine screws from Amazon; Instamorph low-melt-point thermoplastic to fill in the gaps.
- Brains: 1 x Arduino Uno
- Motor driver: 1 x Sparkfun Ardumoto
- Motors: Sparkfun 2 x 24:1 gearmotor
- Wheels: 1 set Sparkfun 70mm — repaired with Instamorph after they cracked around the axle
- Gyro: 1 x ADXRS613 (Sparkfun breakout) mounted at the axis of rotation
- Accelerometer: 1 x ADXL203CE (Sparkfun breakout) mounted at the axis of rotation
- Batteries: 2 x 3.7V Li-poly 850MAh (Sparkfun)
There’s video here, and code and chassis files on GitHub. [Thanks, Shaun!]

I am attempting to make a similar robot to the one you describe here. I tried copying and pasting your code into Arduino IDE and this error came up when I tried compiling it “sketch_nov06b.ino:3:22: error: WProgram.h: No such file or directory
sketch_nov06b.ino:4:28: error: cppboilerplate.h: No such file or directory”
any ideas as to what I need to do to fix this?
same proplem for me i try test thats code and make Aroller :( have ide ver,105 and alltime error compiler and no can adding cppboiler h file,many error alltime error stray 302 and many other..
But wprogram i understand can change wprogram.h delete and adding Arduino.h and now error thats h library. i understand old wprogram have now new ide arduino.h file. what ilooking at net.
