    Part 2 comes up next Tuesday - where I add the arms, body panels, and remote control!

      I like the video and the idea! (I know you're not hacky) one suggestion I have is you program it to speak and modify it to work with the sound maybe coming from some tts

    • @curtstacy779
      @curtstacy779 5 років тому

      This is a great project! this would be one more people could build and modify and add more and more to it. lots of room in the body for much more. I love it! you could even do three wheels if you need more stable for carrying things as a modification. I think you are on to something. I would love one running around the house. lol. good by Roomba lol

    • @whoisisaac

      Very interesting. I like how, during the video, you rattle off the components and the open source examples for those of us who might be interested in trying something like this.

    Fun function for this one would be a "Follow" mode, where it follows a small transmitter you can fit in your pocket. Would be an interestin challenge to implement.

    • @DJlegionuk

    • @dafoex
      @dafoex 5 років тому

      Blynk would probably be a good tool for that. At it's simplest you just need a GPS sensor on the robot and have it constantly try to match the GPS position of the phone. Toss in a Raspberry Pi or maybe a more powerful Jetson and use a Kinect to do obstacle avoidance.

Keep these new kind of "Smaller" projects coming. -That's not to say I don't enjoy the others. I'm not trying to insult you at all, I just think that sometimes projects get a little too complicated at times and some of us have a hard time following along. :) Cheers and Thank you!!!

    Could you make a "Tuning Remote" that has 4 or 5 knobs and a few switches and a screen? Then you can live tune the PID loop and the centerpoint/setpoint and then just record the values from the screen and put them back into the original code.

      The MPU6050 has DMP so it gives you accurate values. Yes 10ms, but 20 would do just as well.

    I'm looking for advice about a good robotics simulator to create a virtual robot. I'm trying to do a digital twin of a robot I have. It's built with a raspberry pi and run by python so ideally the simulator will be able to represent that. I also would want to control the virtual robot with my own GUI. Are there any softwares I can use to do this?

    • @Spooglecraft
      @Spooglecraft 5 років тому +1

      ROS (Robot Operating System) and the Gazebo Simulator. Takes a bit to get used to, but is documented well enough. Python is supported. You could actually use a real RPi to control the virtual robot, as ROS is designed to be a distributed system. You'd have to write your own GUI module, though there are some made by other users.
