Pet Robot Ball

thingiverse

My loyal canine companion thrives on playing with toys, particularly those that allow him to give chase! I designed a cutting-edge robotic ball that springs to life whenever he interacts with it, sending me notifications on my mobile phone so I can seamlessly take control and ultimately power down when the fun is over to conserve battery life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YORRBN_0tdM The ball leverages a d1 mini micro-controller, programmed using Arduino, and is assembled from some 3D-printed parts and cost-effective components that are readily available. To bring this project to fruition, you will need: A 17cm diameter Hamster Ball (https://amzn.to/2PShVKr) Two DC Motors and Wheels (https://amzn.to/2PQkm0n) Or (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GKmGBes7RB) Wemos D1 Mini (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GDmv4JTGLi) WS2812B RGB LED (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/KK3GBr7RcZ) Two 2N2222 Transistors (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/DDm3eJ7DbH) A Buzzer (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/Dv33g6N1hQ) KY-002 Shock Sensor (https://amzn.to/2oOvHTm) Two 14500 3.7V Li-Ion Batteries (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/m33GB6n1Jv) An AA Battery Holder with switch (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/mGDv4BnTpt) L298N Motor Driver Board (https://amzn.to/2pM7PAd) Or (https://www.banggood.com/custlink/mvGG0gbTco) Various lengths of wire Several M2 and M3 screws Five 3D-Printed parts Further details can be found at: http://www.cabuu.com and https://www.instructables.com/id/Pet-Robot-Ball
