Cycloboat

Molham
Molham
29 May 2018

Cycloboat is a recycled boat robot that uses plastic bottles to float on water.

It can detect objects and avoid it using ultrasonic.

 

I will be posting more videos with some more description later.

 

1. Right Angle Gear Motor: voltage is 4.5-6V with a no load current of 190mA, output shaft is 9mm long and the gearbox ratio is 48:1 with a wheel speed of 140 RPM (unloaded)

2. Dual Ball Bearing Hub

3. Arduino Uno as a brain and control system of Cycloboat

4. L298N Motor Drive Controller Board Module Dual H Bridge.

5. Ultrasonic Module

6. Batteries 4 x 1.5v each total of 6v dc

7. Fan recycled from old fan

8. Sealed wood box.

9. Aluminum Pole and mounting channels hub.

10. Recycled plastic bottles X 3.

    Hi Molham, A great idea. I was particularly taken though with those neat pre-drilled brackets, and when I searched for 'dual ball bearing hub' I found a site that makes them....they look really useful…

    I agree, I am going to add speed control to it and also I am testing a solar panel to be a power source since the sun here in San Diego is always shining.
