Here are the most up-to-date and the most complete instructions to build, set up, bring up and operate Maker’s Pet BLD-120MM-PACK robot build pack with BDC-30P driver board. Finished Self-Driving Robot Demo As always, everything is open source. Robot Assembly…
Here is a DIY project I’d like to share. I’ve designed an adapter PCB to connect my LDS02RR Lidar to ESP32. I also wrote Arduino firmware to stream distance data live from LDS02RR – as well as many other low-cost…
LDROBOT LD14P is a low-cost laser distance sensor. We have not yet evaluated its performance, but eyeballing this sensor’s output under indoor conditions makes us believe this sensor may have a reasonable performance. LDS Specifications According to LDROBOT LD14P specifications:…
Loki (200mm), Fido (250mm), and Snoopy (300mm) are getting a sense of touch – for petting! All it takes is a few lines of #Arduino #ESP32 code and a piece of sticky copper tape – or simply wire. Here is…
Here is a step-by-step tutorial creating a map of the room and navigating around the room using the newly-created map in real time. I’m using here a Windows PC running ROS2 in a Docker container. You can use a Linux…
Kaia.ai makes use of Micro-ROS for Arduino. This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to (re)build the Micro-ROS Arduino library. I don’t normally expect anyone to be rebuilding this library, so these instructions are, essentially, a documentation for myself. In…
Here are instructions on setting up your local Windos PC. Prerequisites and Hardware Minimums localization, navigation, image recognition and – at a later time – AI. Therefore, the faster your PC, the more RAM and the faster your GPU –…
Here is a step-by-step tutorial creating a map of the room and navigating around the room using the newly-created map. The simulation runs in ROS2 Gazebo. I’m using here a Windows PC running ROS2 in a Docker container. You can…
Here is a step-by-step tutorial simulating Snoopy home robot in 3D VR using the Gazebo ROS2 simulator. I’m using here a Windows PC running ROS2 in a Docker container. You can use a Linux PC running Docker as well. If…
