Key Points and Features:
- Lynxmotion 2” Track based platform with off road capabilities.
- Remotely operated via WiFi.
- PicoITX system
- Logitech Orbit QuickCam MP
- Phidgets HV Motor Controller (Looking for a possible replacement)
- Arduino Duemilanove
- Pan and Tilt base (Arduino controlled)
- EZ-0 Sonar Module (Arduino controlled)
- Custom Designed Chassis 1/8” Acrylic (Laser cut by Pololu.com)
Future Upgrades:
- 3 Sonar modules
- 4 IR distance sensors
- GPS (I’m sketchy on these if I’m only going to get 25ft accuracy it seems useless for navigation)
- Axon Microcontroller (Seriously contemplating this one, more on this below)
- I have a 2 phase upgrade plan for the pan and tilt to add guns (Airsoft) and rockets (micro)
- Weather resistance improvements and I mean that in the “most” effective manor, not “PROOF”
About the project:
- Protos is my attempt at getting an ROV to use outdoors, that really was my main goal, Throw on top of that Controllable via X-Box 360 controller (Windows USB version), Wifi remote control and pan and tilt camera and there you have it.
- More to come soon! I may get lucky and get my chassis parts tomorrow (a day ahead of schedule! most on this once I get to inspect the cargo!).
