    Hi Alex, If you look at the description below the video, there is an orange "Click Here" box. That takes you to the TBHS Github. All of the files we have for this build are in that repository. If what…

    There also was the auto tracking camera project which appears to have some code which may be of some use

    There appears to be a PID library for the Arduino available here:

    Arduino Playground - PIDLibrary

    which might make life a little easier.

    Hi Alex,

    If you look at the description below the video, there is an orange "Click Here" box. That takes you to the TBHS Github. All of the files we have for this build are in that repository. If what you're looking for isn't there, then we probably don't still have it. Sorry!

    How about an autonomous luggage trunk to accompany this R2-styled design ?

     

    About the size of a flight case trunk to safely move all your gear around when you don't have a road crew to hand to help.

     

    Something along the lines of 'The Luggage' from Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' novels.

    The Luggage - Discworld Wiki - Wikia

     

    Instead of feet (or wheels) though, then perhaps use Theo Jansen's 'Strandbeest' type kinetic linkages as a means of propulsion.

    http://www.strandbeest.com/

     

    Aluminalis is a Strandbeest inspired version in miniature controlled via an Arduino Nano.

    Greetings,
    My name is levi Hiti and I’m studying Mechanical Engineering College, Sammi Shimon in Israel. to my final degree project I am building a wagon (which is very similar suitcase) that will follow its owner. I will be happy if you could answer me a few questions:
    1. how you linked the Xbee to the sensors systems?
    2. Can we please send me the wiring diagram of the all system?
    2. The controller you’ve used (PID) was on speed or position? How does it work?

    I’d be happy to fast reply
    Thanks in advance!
    Levi
