# two_wheeled_base

Reference for the two_wheeled_base base model. And wire a two-wheeled base with a microcontroller.
> Source: https://docs.viam.com/reference/components/base/micro-rdk/two_wheeled_base/


A `two_wheeled_base` base supports mobile robotic bases with drive motors on both sides (differential steering).
Only bases with two drive wheels are supported by this `viam-micro-server` model.

> **Info:**
> 
> 
> 
> The`two_wheeled_base` base model is not currently available when configuring your machine using **Builder** mode.
> 
> 

If you want to test your base as you configure it, physically assemble the base, connect it to your machine's computer, and turn it on.
