Robocar - TB05
Bigger, faster, and meaner than a Donkey Car, running on fully custom software. Built on a Tamiya TB-05 Pro chassis kit.
Overview
After building my 1/16 Donkey Car I became aware of the fact that the fastest racers all used 1/10th scale touring cars. Even though I had not yet mastered autonomous driving, I jumped up a scale or two to join them.
Currently the car uses a Jetson Nano for high-level (navigation, vision, autonomy) control and a Teensy 4.0 development board for low level control (sensor interface, steering servo and ESC control signals).
Manual driving is handled by my custom Bluetooth Low Energy transmitter.
