Re: Serial PWM motor controller



I went ahead and whipped up a small 3D model showing what I have in mind for the bot design. This model is very incomplete but it does show the computer components to scale. The red part is the frame and wheels I hope to build for the project later on. The whole thing is about 24in x 24in x 16in. I believe that I've allowed plenty of room for custom made electronic components and a car battery.

The design allows the motors to be in their own little area in the omni-directional wheel pattern. I'm going to have to figure out a way to make my own omni wheels but at least I know what I'm doing there.

Any comments?
