L298N is a popular, low-cost motor driver board. Here is how you can connect L298N to ESP32 and drive a ROS2 (Kaia.ai-compatible) differential robot. Schematic Wiring Refer to these wiring example illustrations. Firmware Use the default firmware with no changes.…
Here is my video instructions series with step-by-step explanations “How to Build an Arduino/ROS2 Self-driving Robot”. Here is what the robot can do – once the build is complete: Optionally, you can write your own Python or C++ code to…
I’ve been running several Facebook groups related to Arduino, robotics, DIY and programming. Today my Arduino and Robotics group has reached over 100K members 🥳🎉. Also, my other Facebook group Arduino and DIY Robots that focuses on DIY robots in…
TB6612FNG is a low-cost driver IC for brushed DC motors – popular with DIY enthusiasts to build small wheeled robots. One TB6612FNG can drive two motors with power supply voltage up to 15V, average output current up to 1.2A per…
Kaia.ai firmware works with a wide variety of ESP32 boards, supports robots of different sizes, with various Lidars, motors, motor drivers and motor encoders – all thanks to a configuration file where you can specify your GPIO assignments. Configuring Kaia.ai…
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:…
On 2/27/2024 I had the pleasure of giving an invited technical talk for the ROS Embedded Working Group. Please find the YouTube talk recording here. I discussed the REMAKE.AI home robot open-source architecture, its integration with eProsima micro-ROS including the…
A brief development update – Maker’s Pet robots now work with YDLIDAR X3 PRO laser distance scan sensors. The video below shows YDLIDAR X3 PRO streaming the distance data live to ROS2 Rviz viewer using Maker’s Pet Arduino ESP32 breakout…
