Pi-Over - Rover with a Raspberry Pi

thingiverse

Introducing Pi-Over v0.1: A DIY 3-wheeled rover controlled by a Raspberry Pi Model A. The project's creator built this robot to explore the world of robotics and plans to utilize any improvements for future projects. The rover features an MDF body, Minebea geared stepper motors, a custom interface board with voltage regulator, and is powered by a 11.1v Li-Poly battery from a Parrot AR-Drone. The server program runs on the Raspberry Pi, using sockets for client control via port 5270. The source code is provided along with instructions to compile with wiringPi library. However, there are no plans to update this specific model's hardware as it serves its purpose. The software may be enhanced for better controls in the future, but updates may not be reflected in this archive. To recreate this project, download and print the required STL files (0.1 infill recommended), cut a wooden platform according to the provided pattern, assemble the interface/driver circuit board from the Eagle project, and use the provided source code for server and controller app on Mac (Windows users can adapt with sockets). Enjoy your new robotics adventure!
