I’ve heard that tank cars are particularly popular in the community lately
However, traditional tank cars are not very interesting to play with
Is there any new and exciting gameplay? Just happened to see a friend playing the Makey Makey fruit piano
Suddenly, an idea struck me
Why not create a Makey tank car?
Then equip it with a huge clay remote control
It must be a lot of fun, let’s do it! First, let’s take a look at the effect:

Production Tutorial Area
Hardware List:
Electronic Components: Power Switch, 7.4V Lithium Battery, Bluetooth Module, Arduino Motor Driver Expansion Board, Arduino Uno, N20 Metal Gear Motor * 2
3D Printed Structural Parts: Tracks * 2, Connectors * 2, Cover Plates * 2, Chassis, Shovel, Drive Wheels * 2, Idler Wheels * 2
Additionally, you will need: M4*25 Screws, M4 Nuts * 4
1. Install Idler Wheel: Prepare the idler wheel, chassis, M4 screws, and nuts, and install the idler wheel onto the chassis.
2. Install Drive Wheel: Prepare the N20 metal gear motor and drive wheel, and install the drive wheel onto the chassis.
3. Install Battery: Prepare the lithium battery and cover plate, install the lithium battery onto the chassis, and embed the cover plate into the slot to secure the N20 motor.
4. Install Connector: Prepare the connector and install it onto the chassis slot.
5. Install Power Switch: Prepare the power switch (already soldered), and connect it to the power supply.
6. Install Arduino Controller: Prepare the Arduino Uno and motor driver expansion board, and embed the Arduino Uno into the base slot.
7. Connect Power: Connect the power supply to the Arduino, ensuring the power switch is off.
8. Install Tracks: Prepare two tracks and install them onto the wheels.
9. Install Bluetooth Module: Prepare the Bluetooth module and install it in the corresponding position on the expansion board.
10. Install Tank Car Shovel: Prepare the shovel and embed it into the corresponding position on the connector.
2. Clay Remote Control Production Process
Hardware List:
Arduino Uno, Makey Expansion Board, Crocodile Clips * 5, Bluetooth Module, 5 Blocks of Clay
Using crocodile clips, connect the clay to the Makey expansion board, and connect the Bluetooth module to the Makey expansion board.
3. Program and Circuit
The program is relatively simple, mainly involving Bluetooth communication between two Arduinos. The specific circuit connections will not be elaborated here, just refer to the program.(Click the end of the article “Read Original” to view the complete tutorial, and download the 3D printed structural part model files, tank car programs, and clay remote control program source code.)
