Unlimited CNC Robot Blog #5 - Sponsored by TE robotics
This update is the code I wrote for the CNC Robot. The code includes all my recent updates, like IR Remote start and emergency stop. The programming of the IR Remote was new to me and was a bit ...
Unfortunately during the test the DFRobot DRI0017 failed, probably because, when I connected the battery (so without any over-current protection), the peak current exceeded the maximum current the L298 was rated for.
Ordering a new part will tak...
After some preliminary tests, I realized the approach I followed was not to best one, so I made some correction to the Rullit’s control software

Its only 4 minutes long, so save your trip to the bathroom until its done.&n...
In this blog, I will cover some details about mounting the robot's structure. The central system was made with PLA, some bearings, and a bunch of bolts. As I said before the main idea is based on an open-source robot, I took the main ideas and mo...
In this blog entry, The Robocat will get its chassis, motors, wheels, and main system controller. This robot will have two drive wheels plus a caster ball for stability. The chassis I chose is the
