Building Sentinel’s Eyes & Control Center

Over the past few days, I worked on both the physical rover and its control system.

What I Finished

I completed the custom mount for Sentinel’s ultrasonic sensors.

The mount holds the sensors securely and prepares them to be mounted on the servo, allowing Sentinel to scan left, center, and right while navigating.

Website Progress

I also spent time building Sentinel’s web controller.

So far I have created:

• 🖥️ Desktop version
• Mobile version

Both versions are coming together nicely.

The only problem is that the mobile version isn’t displaying correctly on my phone yet, so I’ll show it off in the next devlog after I fix it.

What I Learned

This project is becoming much bigger than just building a rover.

I’m now working on:

• CAD
• 3D printing
• Web development
• C++
• Electronics
• Hardware integration

It’s exciting seeing all of these skills come together in one project.

Next Mission

• Fix the mobile website layout
• Finish the web controller
• Mount the ultrasonic sensor onto the servo
• Continue building Sentinel’s autonomous navigation system

Thanks for following Project Sentinel! Every update gets me one step closer to bringing Sentinel to life.
