EdRover - Raspberry Pi Home Surveillance Rover with Charging Station

thingiverse

Finally I can build a fully functional home surveillance rover with the below requirements: - Charging station to run 24 hours - Low latency - Can be controlled over internet/web from anywhere in the world - Mostly 3D printed - Runs on Raspberry Pi 3 Dimension - 15.5cm(W) x 14cm(L) x 7cm(H) This build consists of four parts: 1. Print Nahueltaibo's modular rover track 2. Software that runs on Raspberry Pi by Max.K 3. Building the rover 4. The Charging station If you find this build too complicated, try the much simpler RC version below: 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 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 Raspberry Pi, Pi Camera, TP4056, ADS1115, LED, etc. d. Install the image onto your Raspberry SD card and try that it works so it makes you happy e. About controlling 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 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with WIFI: https://www.banggood.com/Raspberry-Pi-3-Model-B-Mother-Board-With-BCM2837B0-Cortex-A53-ARMv8-1_4GHz-CPU-p-1278398.html?p=DG23031123036201501P Pi Camera: https://www.banggood.com/Camera-Module-For-Raspberry-Pi-3-Model-B-2B-B-A-p-1051437.html?p=DG23031123036201501P 2x Arduino motor: https://www.banggood.com/DC-3V-6V-DC-1120-Gear-Motor-TT-Motor-for-Arduino-Smart-Car-Robot-DIY-p-1260117.html?p=DG23031123036201501P Voltage reader: https://www.banggood.com/I2C-ADS1115-16-Bit-ADC-4-Channel-Module-With-Programmable-Gain-Amplifier-For-Arduino-RPi-p-1110588.html?p=DG23031123036201501P TP4056 Charging board: https://www.banggood.com/TP4056-Micro-USB-5V-1A-Lithium-Battery-Charging-Module-Board-TE585-Lipo-Charger-p-1225993.html?p=DG23031123036201501P 18650 Li-Ion.
