My thoughts trash can – A blog about robotics, drones, electronics and other random amenities
In the last few day I reviewed the design of the top and incorporated a few devices in it: A BNO055 IMU and its USB/Serial;An uBlox GPS and its USB/Serial (I want to play with its doppler based velocity output that used to be of great help with drones);A ws28xx like 2W led lamp, to … Continue reading Sensors and multifunctional light for Slammer
During the last few weeks I wanted to take a break from coding and I moved to the "drawing board" (KiCad 🙂 ) to design a prototype board for the STM32 based uNav board. uNav is a motor controller board that integrates with ROS and was was initially based on PIC32. Some time ago I … Continue reading uNav2 Integrated Board prototype
This project started a few years ago as a learning platform for ROS and robotic in general. In its current configuration it uses four gearmotors for its locomotion using the UNAV32 prototype. Currently it handles feedback (encoders) on two motors only, the other two (identical) motors are simply wired in parallel. Not exactly optimal, this … Continue reading Slammer
