Realy cool but is there a way to make a 3d scan of the lake?
@Clay-Builds3 күн бұрын
Not with a simple depth sounder. This is super low resolution approximation, just extrapolating a smooth surface between all the measured points. And it isn’t truly point based, the measured depth is from the return signal of a 20 or 30ish degree cone. Good enough to plot the depth but certainly not imaging anything on the bottom.

Nice project! The bumper is very clever! Using 2 switches, one on each side, should increase the reliability. I'm wondering if it could possible to make such autonomous vacuum cleaner as a self-balancing robot, based on hoverboard...
@Clay-BuildsАй бұрын
Two switches would probably work better, but I already had the one and didn’t feel like buying another. Self balancing would be cool. It would be hard to keep the actual vacuum nozzle in the right position slightly off the ground. And it may struggle to drive over obstacles.

Yea it is but it works well. At first I messed around with a couple old fish finders which included a depth sounder. Couldn’t get them to interface with arduino sadly but might be worth investigating further. I know there are some cheap ones that communicate over NMEA, which in theory is possible to read with an arduino.

Is a board from a ready-made vacuum cleaner robot suitable for localization?
@Clay-BuildsАй бұрын
There’s no way a typical robovac board would drive these motors, way too much current draw. Plus the larger wheel diameter would change the linear speed. Perhaps it could be feasible to “intercept” the motor control signals on an original board and use them to inform logic on a separate microcontroller. Assuming the original is closed loop control, you’d need to get creative rigging up or simulating rotary encoders to feed a signal back. Honestly it’s probably easiest to just use a bespoke prototype board and integrate LiDAR or ultrasonic sonar to run SLAM.
@mikihan7949Ай бұрын
@@Clay-Builds There was an idea to make control through a contactor (the wires that turn on the power part are used to close the contactor coils). Perhaps the navigation control does not work on the size of the wheel, namely on the laser rangefinder (the board supplies power to the wheel until it reaches the starting point), if this theory is correct, the implementation of this project is not so difficult

Nice video, sound is good, good pace, I like that you show your mistakes. A couple of tips though: 1. Don't set your camera on your workbench. Every cutting clip is a shaky mess because of the vibrations. 2. Some welding practice on scrap is probably a good idea. It looks too cold to me with the weld just building up and not penetrating, and aluminum needs to be squeaky clean, I'd take a new sanding surface (not used, because it could have steel or wood or oil in it) and go over the surface at least half an inch back from the edge to be welded. After that, clean with acetone. Crank up those amps, aluminum mig is supposed to be Spray Transfer, Electrode Positive, and you have to be _moving_ to not blast holes in your part. It is not a slow and steady process. You need to get in, lay down a nice hot weld, and get out before the nearby metal sucks all your heat out. Keep it up. I see potential here. You're actually designing things with forethought, not just welding whatever pieces you have together and hoping it comes out vaguely bike shaped. I would watch a video where all you do is figure out aluminum settings for your welder and practice.
@Clay-Builds4 ай бұрын
Yea I need a lot of practice. Had to grind and redo most of these welds a couple of times before I felt like the penetration was decent. Also had trouble getting consistent wire feed, think I need a spool gun.
