Testing LM2596 voltage shifter to address power needs for ROS2 smart car which combines Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Need lots of power to run servo, gyro, 2 DC motors with L298N motor shield @OT_Outreach @arduino @acseontario @opg @durhamcollege

Learning how XLabs @opg uses @BostonDynamics robot dog for maintenance and safety. Using motors and sensors driven by Python. I wonder how the API and #ROS2 and #openCV factors into design @OT_Outreach @durhamcollege @GMcanada

Got the motor_controller2 node working on Rasp Pi 5 and two topics (cmd_vel, distance_ultrasonic) to manage motor output (subscriber) and sensor input ( publisher) #ROS2 @arduino @Raspberry_Pi @OT_Outreach @durhamcollege

[mickdee @mickdee]

Phase 2 of ROS2 project working; DC motor, sweeping servo and ultrasonic assembly working concurrently. Ready to add second motor , mpu6050 and assess power needs @OT_Outreach @arduino @durhamcollege @GMcanada #ROS2

[mickdee @mickdee]

Need to get multiple ROS2 nodes working to support 2 DC motors, 1 servo sweeping motor and an ultrasonic sensor for collision detection. Must set up publisher and subscriber topics and test on the Arduino smart car @OT_Outreach @GMcanada @durhamcollege #ros2

[mickdee @mickdee]

Testing our first custom node written in Python to run Arduino C++ code to run DC motors connected to an L298N motor shield. Node name: motor_controller Topic name: motor_command. It works!! @OT_Outreach @GMcanada @DC_AVAR @durhamcollege #ROS2

[mickdee @mickdee]

Deep dive into ROS2 concepts. Learning about nodes and topics today @GMcanada @opg @ontariotech_u @OT_Outreach #ROS2

Installed Ubuntu 24.04 in VirtualBox and installed ROS2 Jazzy to explore how nodes work to support robotics project. Reading "ROS2 from Scratch" and checking out videos online to see if install is correct:
