EdRover - Raspberry Pi Home Surveillance Rover with Charging Station

cults3d

Human: Finally I can build a fully functional home surveillance rover with the below requirements. It must be able to charge for 24 hours, have low latency, and be controllable over the internet/web from anywhere in the world. It should also be mostly 3D printed and run on a Raspberry Pi 3. Dimension - 15.5cm(W) x 14cm(L) x 7cm(H) This build consists of four parts: printing Nahueltaibo's modular rover track, running software on the Raspberry Pi by Max.K, building the rover itself, and creating the charging station. If you find this build too complicated for your skill level, try the much simpler RC version below. The link to it is https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3671892 ** Part 1 - Track ** Head over to https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3112734 and print everything except Enclosure A, Enclosure B, base, and MRTConnector. ** Part 2 - Software ** a. Go to https://hackaday.io/project/25092-zerobot-raspberry-pi-zero-fpv-robot and read about the software and wiring diagram. b. Download the PRO version of the image file so you can use it right away (just change your WIFI setting in the wplan file). c. Get the necessary parts such as a Raspberry Pi, Pi Camera, TP4056, ADS1115, LED, etc. d. Install the image onto your Raspberry SD card and test that it works so you're happy with it. e. To control over the internet/web for access from anywhere in the world, I got a VPN setup on my router which allows me to access the WIFI at home remotely. So far using OpenVPN profile works best surprisingly. ** Part 3 - Assembling the tank ** a. Print all my files according to the suggested facing. I just print them all in 0.3 reso. b. Assemble as shown in the exploded view. * See the extra pics for tips. ** Part 4 - Charging station ** Charging station, go to this link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3671931 Print the "light conductor" part with transparent filament. Parts list: M3 screws are mostly 5mm, 8mm, 10mm. Must be countersunk screw. M2 screw on charging pads. Must be cap screw. Less than 5mm.
