[Bad Idea, canceled] Power post. Part one.

There are a lot of issues when you connect low- and high-current devices to the same electrical circuit. Basically, you are getting: That’s really annoying that’s why I spend last several weeks thinking how to implement power supply for Zakhar.…

Turns: -45, +45, -90, +90 degrees

Assembled with the new moving platform! Turn 90 degree

From the Raspberry, the moving platform gets an argument 0x5a (90) degrees, then a command to turn right. If the argument is 0x00 command is executing during 100ms then the platform stops. Error happened.

Zakhar disassembled

While the robot is changing all the time, after the last update I’ve decided to take some snapshot of its current state and show to the public what’s going on now. Let’s start: Zakhar consists of three (sometimes four) platforms…

Prototype of a new moving platform. Work in progress

Planned: ESP32, gyroscope, accelerometer, onboard data processing, variable speed, wireless mode and more! https://github.com/an-dr/zakhar_platform/tree/feature/esp32 Error happened.

Some zakharos_core documentation

Before moving to the reimplementing of moving platform on ESP32 I’ve added some documentation to the zakharos_core repository. Code has a lot of roughness that will be polished later (probably on the next milestone – The Emotions Demo) Documentation is not complete…

Reimplemented the Reptile demo with ROS!

Half-milestone. What’s new for now: Error happened.
