Blogs of Steven F. LeBrun
There are now three separate blogs on my website: Robotics, Robotic Car Mark 2, and 3D Printing. The topics covered in each of these three blogs is related to that blog though there will be overlap in topics.
The Robotics blog is about my first Robotic Car. It is functional though only when controlled by an Android app called Blue Dot. It never reached its goal of being self navigating. To reach the self navigating stage, more hardware would be needed plus calibrations of each wheel motor. Instead of adding the necessary hardware, I decided to start a new project that I am calling Robotic Car Mark 2.
The Robotic Car Mark 2 follows my progress in designing and building a second robotic car. This car will be similar to the first with the following exceptions:
- Chassis will be 3D printed.
- Single power source, the two 18560 battery pack.
- A Raspberry Pi Pico will be used instead of an Arduino.
- A Compass will be added for steering.
- A Line Following sensor will be included.
My third blog is on 3D Printing. I started 3D printing at the end of 2019. This blog will include what I have learned over the last year+, what I continue to learn, and some of the projects that I have and am printing.
