BeagleBone Black Wireless Tank Robot

ninjatrent

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm looking for suggestions from the community for a project I'm working on.

 

I need a user friendly software solution for a BeagleBone Black Wireless Robotics platform and

I also need suggestions for a h bridge motor driver with dual motor output pins that can drive my DFRobot Devastator Robot Chassis and work with the chosen software.

It's the same chassis featured in this Pi Devastator Robot video from Explaining Computers on YouTube.

 

Thanks for your time and participation in this discussion.

Trent

    Hi Trent,

     

    Interesting robot!

    There's a nice Infineon motor controller boardInfineon motor controller board that is configurable (can have connections paralleled for more power). It is an Arduino shield, so would need jumper wiring to a BBB.

    I've not used the board, but it looks like it might meet your needs. The user manual is here.

    Hi Shabaz,

    Thanks for sharing this with me.

    My apologies for the delayed response. For reasons beyond understanding, the notification of this comment was sorted to the Promotions folder in my Gmail. This issue has me scratching my head. It keeps happening and I'm missing important notifications such as this. I don't receive a notification on my phone for anything that goes into the Promotions folder. If I had not been in the habit of checking that folder, visiting the site would've been the only way to know that someone responded to this discussion. Looks as if I'll be heading over to feedback and support for a solution.

     

    Thanks again Shabaz. I'm going to look over this Infineon board in detail. I had originally intended the use the BeagleBone Blue(has 2 onboard H bridges) but it has been moved to an Ardupilot Quadcopter project (which is on-hold as I attempt to make sense of the calibration process). The devastator chassis was tested and performed exceptionally the Blue. It would still be assigned to this task if I had not watched the video of the Blue as a flight controller.

    Little did I realize how much of a challenge it would be. If it wasn't a challenge, everyone would be doing it.
