Agrobot

• This is a project to make a agriculture robot, using raspberry pi 3 model B+ and hoverBoard.

Material needed to do:

Here we put a list to assemble the circuit in the simplest way, with only 2 wheels and a main board(it also can be done with only 1 wheel):

 * 1 raspberry pi 3 model B+ (With linux installed)
 * 1 memory card for the raspberry.
 * 1 arduino(We have tested with nano and uno r3.You need 1 arduino to each mainBoard, 
   if want to have more than 1 in the project).
 * 1 ft232r USB -> UART, for each arduino you are using.
 * 1 mainBoard, removed from the hoverBoard.
 * 2 Or 1 wheel(s), depending on what you want, removed from the hoverBoard.
 * A couple of wires to connect the circuit.

Tutorial:

• 1 - Setup the main Hover Board.

  • Follow instructions under src/mainBoard/.

• 2 - Upload the code to the arduino board.

  • Follow instructions under src/arduino/.

• 3 - Download and setup the code into raspberry pi 3 B+ (Already need to have linux. We are using Linux Mate on it , if you want, you can download it here: https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/).

  • Follow instructions under src/raspberry/.

• 4 - Donwload the application to use it on your smartphone(Only tested on Android).

  • Follow instructions under src/AppControl/.
  • Also, you can edit the python3 script used to control the robot, and change the way to send commads.
  • If you have a nunchuck controller, you can use it to control the robot too.

• 5 - Setup all the circuits needed to make it work.

  • Follow instructions under pictures/circuits/mainBoard , pictures/circuits/mainCircuit and pictures/circuits/whells/.

• 6 - Turn arduino and raspberry on, sync raspberry and the smartphone application by typing the ip of raspberry pi in it.

• 7 - Control the robot.
