This is quite strange. i had a similar problem with my rangefinder but i managed to get values after I initialised it in arduino. Here is what my arduino script looks like (i am using the PiControl base sketch) */ #include "Hardware.h" void setup(){ // ************ THE SETUP ITEMS BELOW SH...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/hx9gXN5FmgjjyN6h2 This is the final design of the sensor GUI. It seems to be working fine. The screenshot is with the rover sitting on my desk. Unless I am missing something, this should cover every environment sensor on the rover. Does anyone know if there are additional ...

here is a little teaser of the graphs from the surface and range sensor along with motor speeds. I will extend this to include all the sensors on board.

Starting a thread now for some code I am planning to upload next week for a demo organised by King's College London and Ericsson to demonstrate cloud robotics over a prototype 5G network deployment in London. With that said, what is the prefered method for sharing code with the community? The code p...

same problem here except i don't physically connect any cables to the rover apart from USB to flash sketches.

does anyone know why it goes crazy every time i run one of the demo python scripts? it returns the values but then it starts doing random actions like someone is holding an object close to the range finder in demo mode 1. have i misconfigured something or is it supposed to do this? also, when i flas...

Also, is there a protection circuit for the battery?
