First Robot: My Dog Rover
This is the first robot I created using the Hummingbird, my very own dog rover. His name is Pexel Rover, just after the name of our family’s first dalmatian dog who passed away 2 decades ago on Christmas Day.
Pexel Rover is special too because I was able to “force” my husband to draw and craft the structure, so I can just code the rover without worrying about the design. I call this real teamwork! :)
So, here are the parts of the hummingbird I used:
* position servo for the steering wheel rotation
* rotation servo for the big wheels
* Tri - LED lights for the eyes that randomly changes the color but turns to RED if there is an obstacle
* Light Sensor that turns the Tri - LED light into red if an obstacle is close.
* Distance Sensor that moves the rover away if an obstacle is close.
I like the experience of coding and building and I am thinking how I can level up this rover for a bigger but unique project.
