Raspberry Pi Robot #2
Leave a reply
I’ve connected the [amazon &title=Raspberry Pi&text=Raspberry Pi] to an L298N and two 6V DC Motors, which have been in the Makeblock Starter Kit. I’ve had some issues with the WPA2 Enterprise TLS Network, which is why there is an cable attached.
I’ve also written a small geometry/Twist controller for ROS-compatibility,for controlling the robots movement with keyboard interop like I did before.
Before I dismantle this little robot, I’ve like to share a little video:

As soon as possible I will use the arduino micro and the two 250rpm stepper motors – for that I am planning to use a Arduino Motor shield that I’ve already ordered.
Raspberry Pi Robot #0
I am trying to build my own [amazon &title=Raspberry Pi&text=Raspberry Pi] based robot. Someday, it shall be able to drive autonomously based on data from its [amazon &title=Asus Xtion&text=Asus Xtion] (a smaller version of an Xbox Kinect) and with the help of ROS (Robot Operating System). For today, it is only capable of driving straight forward.
Parts:
- [amazon &title=Asus Xtion&text=Asus Xtion] Pro
- a [amazon &title=Raspberry Pi&text=Raspberry Pi] Model B Rev.2.0
- WLAN USB stick
- two Stepper Motors 28BYJ-48 Datasheet PDF 5V controlled by an ULN2003A Chip
- an easyAcc Powerbank with 10.000mhA with an MicroUSB Cable supplying 2A of power
- some metal toy constuction set parts including 3 wheels
- 8 old female to female jumper wires
- 2 Y female jumper whires (to share positive and ground of the raspberry with the motors)
With this setup, the raspberry i able to run at least 8 hours by the power of my already a little bit aged powerbank. Driving at an unbelievable slow speed of about 30 seconds per meter (full torque mode of steppers).
For documentation (and for fun, because I never did this before), here a small video of the very first test drive:
