Episode #7 - Constructing Powertrain Deck for the PICO Controlled Autonomous Robotic Car

 The Powertrain Deck is a critical element for the Zoomie, the autonomous robot used in the ZoomTown experiment.  Chris explains the 'what' and 'why' of this subassembly and how it is the foundation for the rest of the Zoomie.   This is what is covered in this video:     

  • Brief explanation of powertrain sub-assembly     
  • Lower deck - function and features     
  • Motor Mounting     
  • Wheel construction     
  • Ball caster for omni directional support     
  • Review the sub-assembly  

Cheers!

Episode #6 - Motor selection for the Autonomous Robot used in the ZoomTown Experiment

Selecting a motor drive for the N20 motors didn't require a lot of research.  In this video Chris explains why the TB6612FNG was a good choice based on the defined criteria for the autonomous robot.     This is what is covered in this video:     

  • Brief explanation of why a motor drive is needed     
  • Primary factors for motor drive choice     
  • Practical testing    
  • Schematic     
  • Code     
  • Analysis     

 

Cheers!

About Making Stuff With Chris DeHut

About 20 years ago I produced a Woodworking Magazine that was distributed on DVD and contained Video content.  The format was very much like a television show with stories on various subjects.  That magazine ran for 3 years.  I have revived that content and put it on YouTube to share with anyone who is interested.  That was the genesis of this YouTube channel.


Now Covering Many More Subjects

Current video production covers the following subjects:


  • Raspberry Pi PICO microcontroller
  • CNC Machines (building & using)
  • Computers (mostly Raspberry PI)
  • Programming in Python and MicroPython
  • General electronics
  • Robotics
  • 3D Printing
  • and much more!
