Course Lesson 3 of 10: Assembling Raspberry Pi Pico 4WD Smart Car Kit from SunFounder by Robojax

Welcome to Lesson 3 of the Raspberry Pi Pico Smart Car course by Robojax, taught by Ahmad Shamshiri. This course is based on the SunFounder Raspberry Pi Pico 4-Wheel Drive Smart Car Kit, and is designed to teach Python programming, robotics, and practical electronics through 10 structured lessons.

In this lesson, the focus shifts from programming concepts to the physical assembly of the smart car. You’ll learn how to put together all the mechanical and electronic components that make up the four-wheel drive robotic vehicle.

What You’ll Do in This Lesson

This lesson walks you through the full assembly process of the smart car, ensuring that each piece—from the chassis to the wheels and sensors—is properly installed. Step-by-step instructions are demonstrated visually in the video, so even beginners with no hardware experience can follow along successfully.

The assembly includes:

• Mounting the Raspberry Pi Pico and motor driver

• Fixing the motors to the chassis

• Installing the battery pack

• Connecting the wheels and wiring up components

While there is no programming covered in this lesson, it is a crucial foundation for all future lessons, which rely on the fully assembled car for testing and demonstration.
