Miranda Robotic Rover - A Pi Zero Robotic System
Miranda is a robotic rover whose mission is to roam autonomously and provide air quality and telemetry
data wirelessly back to a central computing environment. A fleet of these low cost autonomous vehicles could be used to canvass an manufacturing plant or warehouse providing real time air quality data for that location. Miranda is a variant of the ActoBitty rover kit (https://www.servocity.com/actobitty) that has been morphed from a two wheel drive system to a four wheel drive system. The motor controller is a ZeroBorg from PiBorg (www.piborg.org) and uses a standard 9 volt rechargeable lithium battery.
The first project is to build a sonar coprocessor using the ATTiny 85 Arduino chip. The coprocessor will allow Miranda
to to maneuver autonomously. The circuit diagram for the coprocessor is the following:
The circuit layouts :-)
