Farm-NG Amiga Mini

Introduction & Overview

This is the Amiga Mini Rover page where we are building an Amiga Mini Robot/Rover

WORK IN PROGRESS

I'm working on this module, but it's not at the top of my priority list. That's because I have passed this section in my class this year, or we have not got to it yet... either way, I'm way behind. ALSO my ADHD and ability to fucus on projects because other "shiny" projects keep getting in the way does not help... If you wanted to help shape my priorities, you could connect with me here on my "How To Support My Curriculum Development" page

Farm-NG Amiga Rover and Robots

Viam is the modern robotics platform.

the Farm-NG bot Amiga. Let's replicate this Amiga robot with some small 80/20 rails and some Rumba drive motors. It's a big 3D Print project + Electronics and control. I want to replicate most of the features the Amiga has, just smaller.

Sid Bar for Teachers: This Module or lesson is how I teach in my class. Many of the lessons might be specific to my class, but you could probably adjust them for your class. I'll try to make them a neutral as I can, so they can be used in any Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or any other Engineering / Technology class. Let me know how I can make that better. I'll try to keep this unit current and relevant. Please let me know if any resource links are broken or not accessible. Use this email link to let me know what is broken @ TopClown@STEAMClown.org

Caution & Safety Considerations:

Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"

As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.
