Hi everyone - It's come to my attention that there has been someone masquerading as myself, responding to some comments here with a link to a Telegram chat to win a prize from me. THIS IS A SCAM, I am not holding a contest, nor do I have a Telegram account. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MESSAGES!! It's happening on a lot of my videos, I'm taking steps to remove them manually, but as I have 162 videos, it will take some time. If you do run across a suspicious comment, I would appreciate you letting me know at info@dronebotworkshop.com. Thanks! Bill (The real one!)
I've just realized that I haven't seen a 3d printer on this channel. I feel like this channel would benefit greatly by getting into 3d printing. It quickly makes everything a nail to it, the hammer for small projects. Need a project box? 3d print it, and add a custom cutout for a screen and maybe a camera or encoder too. Need a gear set? 3d print it, and for low speed applications it'll do just fine (and even medium/high speed with the appropriate bearings/lube) Need to make a latch system? 3d print it. Want to make a stand for that thing that's shaped weird? You guessed it. One of the greatest things is how quickly you can go from idea in your head to physical thing in your hand of relative high quality. Of course there's still a place for manual assembly of physical components, but for projects like the ones featured on the channel, you could slap a 3d printer in all over the place. It doesn't even have to be features, it could just be useful for setting up demonstrations. Just a suggestion I think would be an awesome addition to this channels arsenal.
Really small technical note: The 18650s are not lipos, but lion batteries. The difference is you can let a lion get down to 2.5v whereas the same voltage for a lipo would severely harm the battery.
What you're calling a lipo is still a lithium-ion battery. In a standard Li-ion battery, the electrolyte is a liquid while in a Li-ion polymer battery it's a polymer.
I'm a HS tech teacher, and I do teach electronics. This would be a perfect project for them. Going to price it out and try it myself over the summer. Thank you!
Built something similar using a L298N motor driver and a Tamiya tank base. The big advantage with the L298N is that is has a 5V regulator built into the module so there is no need for the buck boost converter. Supply power to the motor driver and it outputs 5V at upto 500mA which is more than enough for the ESP module. Simplifies the design and reduces part count significantly. The L298N is a big larger though, but it can also handle higher current loads if needed.
Bill, I really love your tutorials. I am making a living out of them by designing stuffs based on your ideas. Thank you for your efforts and time. You have changed my life for better.
Usted es genial!!! No solo porque comprende la lógica, sino porque su manera de explicarlo todo es muy sencilla y fácil de comprender. Cuando inicié en el mundo de los arduinos, su canal fue uno de los primeros que encontré, y desde entonces tiene un seguidor. Saludos. Ricardo.
I have 4 such modules and there is no any issues with camera quality. If you have problem then run camera demo and manually adjust camera focus by rotating plastic part that holds the camera lens. Also dont forget to remove the protective film at first
A good interface would be to slide your finger on an area, with vertical as speed / reverse and horizontal as left/right. It would move much smoother and it allows for turn as you go
Thanks for using your time to educate everyone in robotics. I have had a little difficult time finding a video that is clear and to the point. Speaking of video, the quality and clarity is perfect. The affordability of the esp32 cam has sparked my interest in robotics. I would like to use the facial detection to make a device that will recognize a individual and speak there name in a sentence. Such as a simple greeting. Would it be difficult to incorporate that into the code? Could you make a video on that subject if you haven't already. Thanks for the awesome work!!
Great video I built one of these 2 years ago from a Walmart rc car and use exactly what you have used no need for internet it connect to AP point only using esp8266 board thing I didn't have was the video this will be my next project as I use the esp32 cam for surveilance locally where I connect to acess point so I can watch and save video without internet.
The soldering to enable the external antenna on an esp32 is really hard. It's so tiny. Shame they didn't just make a jumper for that. Come on Expressif!
About the the camera quality. You can buy replacement cameras for $4. You can cameras with wide or zoom lens and some even have longer ribbon cables to overcome the board positioning issue.
Great video, I'm currently working on getting a IKEA KALLAX modified to hold my PS5, and I was going to try and use some simple relays to control a couple of computer fans to provide ventilation, but that TB6612FNG module looks like a good fit, with the benefit of providing some speed control. Once again thank you for the Idea :)
I have been looking forward to this video since you announced it in your news letter email. Thank you again for such great content. Looking forward to building one of my own.
Just a quick note: the article link in the video description appears to be incorrect: the URL ends with "esp32cam-car" (which opens a 404 Not Found page), but the real link ends up with "esp32cam-robot-car/". On the plus side, I got to browse through your excellent web site a bit more, so maybe it's a plus :)
More fun...One of the best videos !!! I have a project: 2-4 wheeled robot w/cam and a pressured air/water to clean out gutters. Yes sounds silly..but I am not about to go the a 3-story roof. Have DC motor from a child's fun cart...have two. both do not have any labels on them. Assume 12 VDC but Amps not known. What DC motor regulator would you suggest? How can I test/check Volts needed and Amps. Thank you in advance for your time. David :) AKA DVD:)
Hi Bill , Good job ! Thank You for yor time ! Thank You for sharing with us ! Very interesting project ! I have been waiting for so long for this video,and others with ESP32-cam !
@@pmontgomery there is something called ArduMower but is arduino based, I still thinking about a way to automatically the mowing rather than have a remote control mower (yeah that is what I ended with) which is quite satisfying step but is not a final solution for sure, I'm trying to understand the "boundary wires" approach as I'm convinced that would be the cheapest and most effective way to go, also be careful with energy spikes from the motor as it can damage the boars 👍

Your link in your description for the article gives a 404 error code on the page. however the recent articles link gets you to the page. just thought you'd like to know this. All your videos are quite informative and educational. Never miss them when you make a new one. Keep up the good work. I don't see many articles using the SBC Beaglebone Black, it's a linux based SBC with 2 40 pin GPIO ports.
Thanks for a good tutorial, got everything working except the screen layout does not fit on mobile browsers correctly, screen is too big for mobile devices. Where can we change the settings?
Bill, as always, great content! I was looking for a reason to get one of those ESP32-CAM modules. I had loads of fun remotely controlling lights with my NodeMCU (ESP-8266 module) and I now have a new project in mind thanks to you :D I Will have to build something with HomeAssistant soon ... especially with that bot in mind ... hummm :D I'm finally done with my hand sanitizer project. Did about a hundred of them and learned a ton doing so ... I'm sure your viewers could appreciate some box design / PCB mounting tips. it's easy to use some proto boards ... it's hard to plan the inside of a box, get the switches or pots connected in the box (learning about the basics of component mounting in a box) ... that would make a boring, but oh so useful video... I'm almost certain you could make any topics interesting anyway!! Thanks again for all your hard work, sorry for your lost friend too, it's bad enough to be losing someone you care about, worst when we cant see each other.. #CaVaBienAller right? :P
@@schirmcharmemelone Thanks for your reply. We were short on time and had 100 units to do... we opted for a pre-built waterproof enclosure we got from the local electronic shop .. they were expensive ... I need to learn sheet metal work :D
I think it was as much fun for me to watch the video as for you testing the robot :-) BTW: Did you ever considered a video about how you make your videos (animations, schematics, etc)?
Many thanks for making this video...I think you explain everything really clearly and that's why I am subscribing. I am looking forward to making a robot car.
I'd like to do something with this basic idea but instead of driving motors for a car it would control a couple of servos and a momentary switch. Also with proportional control.
Really liked this video. It would be fun to see how to expand this project to use a 2-channel rc controller to drive it while watching the video stream.
Hello. Thanks for this project. May I ask you to upgrade this project by adding a ESP32-based remote control? I found 2 interesting devices, fit for the rmote function. First is WT32-SC01 plus LCD touchscreen with ESP32 S3 onboard and several extra pins, sdcard etc. Is it possible to transfer video from ESP32 cam to that device and create there several buttons on the touchscreen for controlling car movements? The second interesting device is T-deck (also uses latest ESP32 controller, having touchscreen and even trackball for controlling movements).
Great invention I like but I have a couple of questions. The first question is can the robot car be controlled from anywhere in the world? The other question is is there any app for mobile devices such as cell phones or tablets?
@DroneBot Workshop, I clicked on your article to your website listed in the description and it states "Page Not Found". Any chance you can fix the broken link? Would like to read about this in more detail. By the way I am really enjoying your videos. I am a newly subscribed member. Great content.
That thing runs and spins like a squirrel, it needs extra gear or lower PWM duty cycle. Also, I wish I could do such a project but my cat will freak out.
Excellent tutorial as usual! I attempted to open the first link to the code, but received a 'page not found' error. Could I please ask if you could send a new link? Thank you!
Is there a way to connect to the ESP32 without the need of typing the IP address? Maybe having an app that links to the ESP32 once you connect to its WIFI?
I am reposting this in the main list so everyone can respond.. I am trying to design a circuit board for this, but I am not sure if something is wrong here. I want to add an i2c device, so I can control extra servos and things.. What pins do I use for i2c that is compatible with the rest of this circuit? It looks like you are using the RX/TX pins for the same pins I think is used for i2c.. I can't find any reliable sources about this.
Hi, how would you approach it if you want to have 4 dc motors and control all of them independently, at least to the point that you can turn each individual on and off?
I have an Frsky with crossfire for flying drones. I want to use it to control my arduino robot. Do you know of a way to get the arduino to read the crossfire receiver signals?
One can get compatible cameras with longer kapton leads on eBay, up to 10 cm long (that's equal to 4 old-world units of length in the USA). The leads do break easily.
11:42 what would you do with led if you extend cable for the camera ? Or if you would go into trouble of desoldering led the you certainly can extend the camera cable :)
Hmmm.. this may be exactly what I'm looking for - thanks! BTW- have you tested this from outside the LAN? I assume you could port forward into it from across a firewall, even though the latency might be an issue.
thanks for the video sir but sir if I want to control the car from a very far location (a different city for example) then what should I do to make that work
I have one of these ESP32 cam boards. The video image comes out sideways and I was told there is no way to fix that. I was told you had to mount the board sideways to get an upright image. I did not believe it back then, now I see you have the board mounted vertical and the video image is also vertical. How did you do that. Is it a function of the software you are using?
Very interesting! Built one myself! One big Question. Is it possible to make update the ESP32-CAM OTA ? Everytime I try my standard procedure, the upload fails. I think its too less memory with the default Web-example code ? Please help me. I got an important project to update OTA. The device is seen as an Network Port. But upload fails.
At 24:52, isnt one powersupply powering both the motor and the ESP32? Isn't this what we want to avoid? (Having both the motor and controller powered by the same source)
If you find it difficult to do this, mount an old android phone on top of any remote control car and install Alfred cam on the phone . thank you for your video.
So in theory, you could easily make a car with infinite range? I mean if you're in a big business with plenty of AP's you could go everywhere around the site
So exciting! Thank you for making this video - I'm inspired to build an FRV R/C tank. Is there a way to make the ESP 32 CAM module control 4 DC motors instead of 2? The extra 2 would spin the turret and fire the gun, respectively.

Very interesting! Built one myself!
One big Question. Is it possible to make update the ESP32-CAM OTA ?
Everytime I try my standard procedure, the upload fails. I think its too less memory with the default Web-example code ?
Please help me. I got an important project to update OTA. The device is seen as an Network Port. But upload fails.
Nice project and video but the URL you have posted with the code and what not says "page not found" could you relink? Please and thank you sir.
bro u can go to his site, and type 'esp32 cam robot car' and get it
At 24:52, isnt one powersupply powering both the motor and the ESP32? Isn't this what we want to avoid? (Having both the motor and controller powered by the same source)
If you find it difficult to do this, mount an old android phone on top of any remote control car and install Alfred cam on the phone . thank you for your video.
True
So in theory, you could easily make a car with infinite range?
I mean if you're in a big business with plenty of AP's you could go everywhere around the site
So exciting! Thank you for making this video - I'm inspired to build an FRV R/C tank. Is there a way to make the ESP 32 CAM module control 4 DC motors instead of 2? The extra 2 would spin the turret and fire the gun, respectively.
Yeah,you can do that by connecting the the left drive motor with the turret and right motor with fire.
please review the new esp32 s3
