What Do I Build Next? Some Assembly Required!!! Actually, alot of assembly was required. I'm not kiddin'...My fingers are numb. 4.5 Hours to piece together this tank chassis. (One of two different kits purchased from Banggood on February 26, 2019 which finally arrived on March 30, 2019). The project is in two parts, the assembly and the electronics/BRAINS. This kit had a link to limited assembly pictures... no written words...labeling in Chinese. I chose to assemble this one first. The product's description: 6-12V CNC Metal Robot RC Tank Tracked Chassis Suspension Obstacle Crossing Crawler With 4 Motors
The weblink:
The assembly pictures were not descriptive enough to capture each step to achieve what the picture showed. I actually needed to disassemble and swap my top plates (front and back) because another later in the build had an inadvertent view of a installed hardware bracket facing the opposite direction from the one I chose. "I could not tell if the swap actually mattered but at least my assembled TANK resembled the advertised picture".
My Build....
Step One, what was delivered...is slightly different than website...
what to assemble first...directions indicate the frame
what's next?...wheels, hubs, followers, sprockets? suspension?
What's next... electronics, brains, battery, etc...
Well, that's "some assembly required"... stay tuned for next installment when electronics/brains are installed...
I want to use a Raspberry Pi, PiCamera, Webstreaming, L298 motor controller, 7.4VDC-12VDC battery, some Python code.... and maybe magic... from adapted Kookeye or Osoyoo Raspberry Pi Robot Kit that (I previously purchased) uses the PiCamera for live video streaming while using the L298 motor controller with PWM..... stay tuned
