I will have to agree that this project has not turned out as expected. By this time I was hoping to be driving around the little Rover all around my house from work while streaming video. At least the Kickstarter seemed to indicate that possibility which was why I shelled out for a complete unit. I was learning a lot until my Raspberry PI-3 started eating SD cards. After 4 different cards from different vendors I just gave up. Now my Rover is in pieces as it was easier to try SD cards. The Arduino side seems to be just fine if I just want to program simple things. . It all seemed to start when I was having the Pi-3 try to control the Arduino. The Pi-3 seems to work okay just sitting there hardly doing anything but any control stuff that uses a lot of SD card I/O just causes my SD card to self destructs after awhile. A Sandisc 32GB card is now a 20mb card. Another is totally dead. It is a known Pi-3 problem so I can not fault the Rover entirely but I am guessing there still is some code problem helping it along. I'm thinking some sort of Raspberry PI-3 USB to Arduino interface might be better to talk to the Arduino. Not sure. I have learned a lot but I was hoping to learn a lot more and to have more fun.
