The purpose of the OSU Robotics Club is to empower ambitious students with resources to build robots for fun and competition, remove barriers from entry into robotics, create a path to success, and form a pipeline of engineering leaders. We host both internal projects geared toward the beginner, as well as external projects which encompass all levels of knowledge and skill.
Great job guys, I had a similar rover as my graduation project 4 years ago, but I admit this is way more sofisticated, since Tishreen is a Syrian university, we had no access to most of these components, but this is way more accurate design, I have a video about my rover in my channel for those who are interested.
Its almost impossible to solder individual pins on tqfp. Put plenty of flux down then put solder on iron tip then drag it along the pins in one go. What usually happens is excess solder gets dragged off the pins.
If the board desing is done in Kicad, do yourself a favor and install InteractiveHtmlBom. Instead of Excel BOM you get this: openscopeproject.org/InteractiveHtmlBomDemo/
Wide soldering iron tips help a lot with solder wick, as it soaks up so much heat. JBC soldering iron with quick change cartridges are awesome, but outside my price range, so I have two soldering irons with different width tips. Tip cleaner chemicals work wonders, too.
Hello. It's not good tip to solder LQFP. Much easy and faster to solder LQFP by using tip with flat surface, you can solder one side of chip by only one iron pass. What you use is bad practice, there a lot of video on RU-vid how to do it properly.
Didn't see anything impressive in this video. My robotic lawnmower has better electronic hardware then the random china adurino crap that is just a apm pretty much. Then they used a 35amp tank driver off Amazon lol... not trying to down it. But there is nothing that says wow to me. This is what i expect my 10 year olds in my robotic group t o build not college level it's kind of sad
Hey, I'm trying to build a mini rover for myself and I have a question: where do you get your tires from? Or do you just cast them with a mold and if yes what kind of material do you use?
