[Radu] spend the very first part of this year building as well as improving upon this wireless rover project. It’s really the second generation of an autonomous follower job he started a few years back. If you search with his old postings you’ll discover that this version is leaps as well as bounds ahead of the last.
He bought the chassis which likewise came with the gear-head motors as well as tires. Why reinvent the wheel (har har) when you’ve got bigger things on your plate? To make sufficient space inside for his own goodies he started out by ditching the manage board which came with the Lynxmotion chassis in favor of an AVR ATmega128 advancement board. He likewise selected to utilize his own motor controller board. next he added a metal bracket system to hold the battery pack. things begin to get quite congested in there when he installed his own Bluetooth as well as GPS modules. Rounding out his hardware additions were a set of five ultrasonic sensors (the grey tubes on top), a character display, in addition to head as well as tail lights. The demo video shows off the manage app he uses. We like that tic-tac-toe style for movement control, as well as that he added in buttons to manage the lights.
