Wifi Controlled Robot is done as a mini project (Lab4) for ECE 4180 class (Georgia Tech). Robot is assembled in Sparkfun's Shadow chasis robot kit. This robot takes the command from the webpage to move forward, reverse without colliding. The distance sensor is used as a mechanism for collision detection and play a short beep sound. It turn 90 degree with magnetometer when the turn command is sent.

Dependencies:   Motordriver mbed

/media/uploads/pkoirala3/capture.jpg Showing the setup and calibration: Part1 In this part the Wifi setups and attains an IP address so we can control it through a webpage on our phone/PC. After it obtains an IP address it calibrates the IMU so we can have accurate compass headings for precise turns.

The parts that we use are as follows:

  • Mbed
  • 2 DC motors
  • H-Bridge (to drive the DC motors)
  • Speaker
  • Class D Amp (to drive the Speaker)
  • IMU (use the magnometer for compass headings)
  • Wifi card (ESP8266)

Showing webpage functionality and Robot Functionality: In this part we demonstrate the functionality of the robot and the webpage to control it.
