A Yak Rover exploring flexible components for a more extensible Rover.
Following my previous build, A Stubborn Pursuit of a Path I was looking for a more extensible build platform.
The mechanical system is built around Construx, a toy building system from the 80s that this author has a lot of experience with and found in an old box.
Augmented with 3D printing, it has proven a very flexible build system.
- Compute: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
- Sensor/Neural Package: Oak-D-Lite
- Compute Battery: Anker PowerCore Slim 10000mAh (Portable Charger)
- Drive: 2x N20, Adafruit DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing
- Drive Battery: 6V 2000mAh NmH
Implements a web api for interacting with the Rover. Based on the proposal in The-Yak-Collective/yakrover#3
Uses Circuit Python to provide a low-level interface into control motors.
Uses depthai library to access OakD-lite capabilities
