“As part of a Science Project, I created a self-driving car!”
RASBERRY PI mk2
The raspberry pi is the brains for the car. It tells the car to move at a certain angle in order to move away from the object and to stop a collision.
Sensors
The sensors detect how far away something is. It can see as far as 3 metres but I’ve changed it instead to 3m 30cm. Then the sensors tell the raspberry pi to turn left when its 30cm away from an object at certain degrees.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is what powers the sensors and the rover also has a battery pack for the raspberry pi.
Motor
The motor is what make the 4 wheels go round and is powered by the same battery pack for the sensors.
Wires
The wires are 5 volts with no current. They are connected to the sensors and the raspberry pi.
Program
The program is run in .NET CORE on an SD card on the raspberry pi.
Chassis
The chassis is what holds everything together and what the motor rests on.
Did you know that my build is based on Perseverance, the Rover that landed on Mars by NASA?
