DIY-RoboCars
Introduction & Overview
This is the DIY RoboCar page where we are building the Donkey Car - http://www.donkeycar.com/
DIY Robo Cars - RC/Other Robot Cars Controlled with Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano:
For the 2022-2023 school year, we are using our DIY Robot platforms in the a few competitions. While there is a focus on the DIY Donkey Crs, this page will focus on all DIY R/C cars as well as our Differential drive robots.
The DIY Robot platforms, are designed to solve the challenge of AI Machine learning navigation on a flat track. The object of the challenge is to build a car using a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano to train on the track and then autonomously drive it's self.
This page will also focus on controlling cars, both R/C 1/10 scale as well as a bunch of Differential Drive Robots over a local wifi network. This page will also show how to control Differential Drive cars using the same DIY donkey car controls, just with differential drive commands rather than servo commands (maybe it's just translating the servo command to differential drive steering instructions.)
