From the project
This project is an implementation of a turtle robot based on AVR microcontroller.
This project is an implementation of a turtle robot based on AVR microcontroller.
The hardware design is based on https://www.instructables.com/OSTR/.
Mechanical parts are designed using OpenSCAD. Running make in the mechanical directory builds STL files suitable for 3d-printing. The design has the following parts:
Chassis.scad is the main chassis structure. Caster.scad holds a support bearing ball. PenCollar.scad holds the pen. Wheel.scad is the wheel. You need to print 2 of them
