Day - 3 Devlog

ToDo

• Schematic
• 3D model in CAD

Devlog

Serwin:

I find the Onshape CAD as hard and couldn’t progress a lot – but i did learnt some basics

Have to work on the Robot’s CAd again from scratch

Ijaz:

Added all the components into schematic and with some help of chatGPT, wired eveerything

The schematic is almost done – moving on to the footprints phase

Work Done:

• Schematic DONE ✅

• Learnt basics of CAD

Day 2 - Devlog

Todo

• Adding components and wiring – Ijaz
• Designing 3d model for the robot – Serwin

Devlog

Serwin:

Did a very basic 3d model in Tinkercad – planning to use AutoCAD and thus, no further progress for now

Ijaz:

Added the basic components into the schematics – Esp32, MPU 6050, Battery, Switch, Stepper motors

Also researched about Motor drivers such as L298N, TMC 2209 and etc..

It took way longer than i thought but i connected some pins too while doing this

Work Done

• Added basic components in kicad

• Very basic 3d model done in Tinkercad

Day 1 - Devlog

We are going to work on the Self-balancing robot with PID control loop

Todo

• Rough sketch of wiring and Schematics – Ijaz
• Rough sketch of 3d model of robot – Serwin

Devlog

Serwin:

I have started by creating a new project in Kicad

I added some connectors for battey and switch

But then, we decided to switch the work (From now on, i will handle the mechanical design and he would do the electrical design)

So, i’m gonna use tinkerCAD as it is free.

I started by importing the stepper motors and wheels into the design

I tried to model the head – to make it modular – easy to change and customize

I just made a rough sketch – but my idea is to make the design more modular…!!

So, stay tuned for more updates - lol

Ijaz

Work done

• Started a rough sketch on Tinkercad and working on it…
