Assemble Elegoo Smart Car Arduino Robot KIT 3.0 Step 2: Install and Connect The Motor Driver Board

Few months ago, the great folks at Elegoo sent me one of their great Arduino Robot Kit Version 1.0.
I already posted Assembly Instructions, and some tutorials on programming it.
Couple of month later, they introduced improved Smart Car Arduino Robot KIT Version 2.0 , and also sent me one :-). I posted Assembly Instructions for it too :-). I also mapped the Shield in Visuino , and started work on tutorials.
Elegoo did not stop there however, and couple of weeks ago I received the Latest Version 3 Arduino Robot Kit donated for the Visuino development!

Step 1: Installing the Motors on the Chassis

Here is the second Assembly Video - Installing and Connecting The Motor Driver Board:

I am preparing the rest of the Assembly videos and will post them in the following days. I have also started mapping the Robot's Shield functionality in Visuino, and hope to have improved support in few days.
After that I will try to make some Visuino tutorials for the Robot.

And yet another Great Gift from Kurt Roesener for Visuino - Adalogger FeatherWing - RTC + SD :-)

And Kurt Roesener just surprised me with another gift today :-)

Adalogger FeatherWing - RTC + SD from Adafruit :-) Well... I guess we will be having it supported in Visuino soon :-)

Thank you Kurt for your generosity, and support for the Visuino Community!

Received cool STMicroelectronics SensorTile KIT for Visuino support from Hackster.IO

Couple of days ago, I received this very nice STMicroelectronics SensorTile KIT from Hackster.IO donated for the Visuino development.

Thank you Hackster.IO and STElectonics!

It comes with Arduino compatible shield, rechargable battery, programming adapter, and plastic box.
The main module (the SensorTile) is quite packed:

• STM32L476 - 32-bit ultra-low-power MCU with Cortex M4F
• LSM6DSM - iNEMO inertial module: 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope
• LSM303AGR - Ultra-compact high-performance eCompass module: ultra-low power 3D accelerometer and 3D magnetometer
• LPS22HB - MEMS nano pressure sensor: 260-1260 hPa absolute digital output barometer
• MP34DT04 - 64 dB SNR digital MEMS MICROPHONE
• BlueNRG-MS - Bluetooth low energy network processor

For now I am still exploring the best options to add the Visuino support. I would expect that the SensorTile will be added soon to the modules supported by stm32duino and from there the Visuino supports should be very straightforward.

At the moment I am still working on adding Visuino  support for some of the other modules and robots that I have received recently, but I would expect this module will also be supported soon :-)

Pictures from the Hackaday LA August Meetup Last Tuesday

Last Tuesday, I attended the Hackaday LA August Meetup  .
As always, it was a great event, organized by Dan and Shulie and the rest of the team from Supplyframe DesignLab.
There were 2 presentations:

• Hunter Futo - "We Shape Our Tools & Our Tools Shape Us"
• Diego Porqueras - "Crowdfunding: the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly"

Both presentations were great! 

Hunter Futo focused on the challenges of industrial design process.

Diego Porqueras shared his experience running 3 different Kickstarter campaigns.

Here are some pictures that I took from the event:

Setting up my robots, Visuino, and the EVIVE that I received recently:

Right next to Shulie :

The always great food:

Some lighting talks at the end of the event:

And me showing the robots, Visuino, and the EVIVE :

As always it was yet another great event! Thank you Dan and Shulie!

Looking forward to more great Hackaday events in the future :-)

My "Video Processing with Delphi Part 3" article in the Blaise Pascal Magazine is published :-)

In the latest Blaise Pascal Magazine, I wrote my third article on Video Processing with Delphi.

In the article I used the latest VideoLab features, added recently. They are not available in the official VideoLab release yet, so if you want to follow the article, you should download and install the latest prerelease that I posted recently here:

http://labpacks.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-first-delphi-102-tokyo-compatible.html

You can get the magazine from the Blaise Pascal Magazine website here.

Please enjoy :-)
I am already working on the next Article, so stay tuned ;-)
