This project is a simple tank robot controlled by an ESP32 microcontroller. It uses two TT gear motors driven by an L298N motor driver to provide tracked movement. The chassis is custom-designed in CAD and 3D printed to securely hold the electronics and mechanical components. The goal of the project is to build a functional, programmable robot that can move forward, backward, and turn.

Devlog 1 – Tank Robot Project

Today I started designing and building my simple tank robot. The goal is to create a small tracked robot controlled by an ESP32, with two TT gear motors powered through an L298N motor driver.

Progress

  • Designed the base chassis in CAD.
  • Designed the gears and treads.
  • 3D printed the completed parts.
  • Began assembling the robot.
  • Wire the TT motors to the motor driver.
  • Write the ESP32 code to control the motors.

Current Status

The base of the tank has been completed in CAD, along with the gears and treads. I have not finished designing the top section yet. Once the remaining CAD work is complete, I will print the top and continue assembling the robot.

Next Steps

  • Finish designing the top of the chassis.
  • 3D print the remaining parts.
  • Write the ESP32 code to control the motors.
  • Test the tank’s movement and make improvements as needed.

Overall, this was a good start to the project. The mechanical design is progressing well, and the next milestone is completing the CAD model so assembly and programming can begin.
