Expanding upon MKR1000 based Robot project, I created this 4 wheeled Robot.

Story
Expanding upon my 1st Hackster.IO project based upon the MKR1000 board, I used what I learned and extra hardware from that build to learn about the Particle.IO platform using the Photon.
(below is a link to 1st project, which has Robot Platform build information and code ideas).
1. Gather your tools
2. Gather your hardware- an Adafruit Basic Robot using 4 wheels instead of 2.
(for assembly of platform see my previous MKR1000 Robot build or
visit Adafruit's website: https://learn.adafruit.com/simple-raspberry-pi-robot/overview )
3. Mount L298N DC Motor Driver onto assembled Robot chassis and using Dupont Male to Female jumper wires connect to Photon board on breakout board.
4. Using local or web-client from Particle.IO revise code according to your “device code” and ” access token”. See Photon example/DEMO code for “Web-based LED control” :
https://docs.particle.io/guide/getting-started/examples/electron/#control-leds-over-the-39-net
5. Use my code as an example. Initial setup and tests.
Initial Demo code tests
6. Here is a short video of Web page control and my Simple Robot in action.
