When your rover is tired and needs to call it a day for recharging its batteries, it needs a home.
But to come out the next day, it needs to backout... i.e. to have a backwards function... sort of like a copter's landing and take off.
I realize there

I stumbled across this project yesterday. It uses UWB Decawave chips. The Pozyx is a Arduino shield. The system is made up of 4 anchors around the room and 1 arduino compatible tag. A Pozyx team member confirmed that their system could be p

I'm trying to design and build an "open source" radar system. The premise is that while we have the hacked Neato and the RoboPeak system, I've not found anything for outdoor use. So I've built this scanner pictured below.
The parts list

If this is true, is there a workaround?
If it is available (there is no visible column label) how do I enter a 5 second delay?
Thanks

So I'm sorry if this is a really st
Read more…I have a Dimension Engineering "Doubleswitch" R/C relay on my Pixhawk controlled rover. I need to turn this relay on at a waypoint during the rover's mission.
So far I've done the following;
1) Set the BRD_PWM_COUNT to 2.
2) Plug the 3 pin cord from the

Thanks
Read more…I've just assembled my rover with the Pixhawk kit which included the GPS and PPM encoder. The GPS is mounted 5+ inches above the top of the rover. Inside the rover is a Dimension Engineering 60 amp motor controller and 2 17AH batteries.
