UPDATE

Here are the links to all of the 3D models for the torque tester stand as I've promised above both on GitHub and Printables:

https://www.printables.com/model/226386-dc-motor-torque-tester-stand

https://www.printables.com/model/226390-digilent-motor-gearbox

https://github.com/MilosRasic98/Orbweaver-Rover/tree/main/Rover/Geared%20gearbox%20assembly

You have the full assembly files (F3D and STP) as well as STL files for all of the printable parts. I made an image of the Raspberry Pi but didn't find any way I could host it for now, so I'll update that as soon as I can, until then, I'll just put here a short summary of how I set it up. First of all, I went with a ROS image from this link.

There are 2 links to Raspberry Pi images there, I went with this one.

After that, I created my own workspace for the Orbweaver Rover and created individual packages for each node.

Creating a workspace: http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/create_a_workspace

Creating a package: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/CreatingPackage

While I can't share the whole image at the moment because I need a lot of space for hosting it, I'll do the next best thing by sharing the src folder with all of the codes and CMakeLists and package files.

All of the files are completely free to use, if you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask me!

Nice work on all of this! It looks like you really did a lot and chased down a few different paths.
