eRover1 Printable Kit
 




Please Help ... Donate a few $'s to help keep this project alive!


The eRover1 Kit can be yours to print and build!

 


Print a kit for yourself and if you can ... print and donate a kit for me too. I want to be able to give them to local kids 'n trade for other robot parts.

So your only cost is the material to print parts and mail them to me. For the first 100 of those that mail me a full kit I will design a custom part with your name or slogan or modifications as you want on your robot.

Mail parts to:
Walt Perko
4652 N. Rainbow Blvd. Suite 320
Las Vegas, NV. 89108


Kit Parts;


Body4eRover1.STL

Want a customized body with your initials or other cutouts for sensors or other mounts? Print and send me a Body and six of my wheels and I'll send you a .STL file with your added specs.



Wheel4eRover1.STL

Want a customized wheel with your own initials? Print and send me a Body and six of my wheels and I'll send you a .STL file with your own initials in the tread.

6AT500-ServoCity.STL
Yes, you can buy this part at ServoCity.com rather than printing ...
152.4mm or 6" long ... 12.7mm or 1/2" outer diameter pipe ...
Plastic, Aluminum, Steel, Chrome ... any material will do ...



















Designed using this Sanyo Stepper Motor from Pololu;
This is an untested design ... for educational experiments

I've supplied the part files for printing ... now you pick the µcontroller, the Stepper Motor Driver(s), Power Supply and Create your software to share ... here.




Sample Stepper Motor BS2 PBASIC to get you started;

Full Speed Loop for Stepper Motor;

cwfullspeed:
DEBUG CR, "Full Speed Clockwise", CR
FOR I = 1 TO 1600 ' 1-full revolution of test motor pulled from an ATM machine is 1600 STEPS

LOW 0 ' BS2 PIN 0 to Direction Pin on motor controller
LOW 1 ' Pre STEP set LOW to ramp up for triggering a STEP from BS2 PIN 1 to motor controller STEP pin
HIGH 1 ' STEP from BS2 PIN 1 to motor controller STEP pin causes motor to take a STEP
NEXT
RETURN


ccwfullspeed:
DEBUG CR, "Full Speed Counter Clockwise", CR
FOR I = 1 TO 1600 ' 1-full revolution of test motor pulled from an ATM machine is 1600 STEPS

LOW 0 ' BS2 PIN 0 to Direction Pin on motor controller
LOW 1 ' Pre STEP set LOW to ramp up for triggering a STEP from BS2 PIN 1 to motor controller STEP pin
HIGH 1 ' STEP from BS2 PIN 1 to motor controller STEP pin causes motor to take a STEP
NEXT
RETURN


Adding MicroSTEPS is easy with the motor controller I'm using;

cw:
DEBUG CR, "Clockwise", CR
FOR i = 1 TO 400 ' Step Count

LOW 0 ' Direction
LOW 1 ' Pre STEP
HIGH 1 ' STEP
HIGH 2 ' MS1 set the MS1 PIN
HIGH 4 ' MS2 set the MS2 PIN
' PULSOUT 1, 1000 ' STEP Speed
' PAUSE 5
NEXT
RETURN


MS1 - MS2 Use Chart
-----------------------------
LOW - LOW = FULL STEP
HIGH - LOW = HALF STEP
LOW - HIGH = QUATER STEP
HIGH - HIGH = EIGHTH STEP

Just set MS1 HIGH for 1/2 STEPs and setting both MS1 and MS2 HIGH gives 1/8th STEPs...

Adding a PAUSE before the NEXT in the example FOR/NEXT loops you can slow down the speed of the motor.

Sanyo Stepper Motor from Pololu



HXT12K 10kg Servo (metal gear) 55g / 10kg / .16sec (USA Warehouse) Less than $10 each



Servo Extensions



The Tool Motors are Continuous Rotating Servos ... if you modify a HiTec HS-422 servo you can mount the LynxMotion.com mini-Gripper

or you can buy a ready to go Parallax.com Continuous Rotating Servo



You will need a µController of some sort to run the robot since the BallBot1 Robots (the head) are not yet available.

I'm using a Parallax.com HomeWork Board

You can also use a Parallax.com Board Of Education

or just about any other µController including Arduinos that can control seven or more hobby servos.
