Step 1: Supplies
Electronic components needed for the Airboat:
- 1x Arduino Nanohttps://www.amazon.ca/Arduino-ELEGOO-ATmega328P-Co…
- 1x Mini Breadboard
https://www.amazon.ca/Elegoo-6PCS-tie-Points-Bread… - 1x L298N Motor Driver
https://www.amazon.ca/Kuman-Controller-H-Bridge-Me… - 2x DC Motor
https://www.amazon.ca/Yeeco-Electric-Torque-Engine… - 1x SG90 Servo Motor
https://www.amazon.ca/RioRand%C2%AE-Micro-Servo-Ai… - 1x NRF24L01 Module Wireless Transceiver
https://www.amazon.ca/KEYESTUDIO-NRF24l01-Module-W… - 2x LiPo battery
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B011SHYQLW/ref=sspa_dk_de… - A lot of Jumper Wires

Electronic components needed for the controller:
- 1x Arduino Nanohttps://www.amazon.ca/Arduino-ELEGOO-ATmega328P-Co…
- 1x Mini Breadboardhttps://www.amazon.ca/Elegoo-6PCS-tie-Points-Brea….
- 2x Joystick Module for Arduino
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00Y098HUC/ref=sspa_dk_de… - 1x NRF24L01 Wireless Transceiver Module with Antenna
https://www.amazon.ca/Longruner-Wireless-Transceiv… - 2x Rotary Potentiometer
https://www.amazon.ca/Gikfun-Knurled-Linear-Potent… - 1x Toggle Switch
https://www.amazon.ca/Gikfun-MTS102-Position-Toggl… - 1x 6V AA Battery Holder
https://www.amazon.ca/4×1-5V-Battery-Holder-Black-… - 4x 1.5V AA Battery
https://www.amazon.ca/Duracell-Coppertop-Battery-1… - A lot of Jumper Wires again
- M3 screws 6mm in length
For the physical part of this project like the hull of the boat, case of the controller and propeller…etc. You will need a 3D printer or access to 3D printer to print these part.(The photo only include some of the components)
Step 2: Print the Parts
Number of prints:
- 1x Controller Case
- 1x Controller Cover
- 1x Boat Hull
- 1x Mast
- 1x Fin
- 2x Propeller Hub
- 3x Propeller with n4415(clockwise)
- 3x Propeller with n4415(counterclockwise)
Please print them separately except the propeller parts you can print them all in one go. Also, remember printing orientation matter find the best orientation for your 3D printer to print on.
