[Dprglist] Building Cheapest ROS2 Robot using ESP32 — Part 1 — Hardware Build

Did a 37 sec scan.  It looks cool.  Need to follow up on the rest of the articles to see what software they are loading up.

-All, 

    This just dropped on my Medium feed: https://robofoundry.medium.com/building-cheapest-ros2-robot-using-esp32-part-1-hardware-build-af0044de68ce .

 

     I usually discount articles that indicate that they want to control a robot with a controller. However, in this case where the goal is to communicate through ROS2, I think it is worth a look. This first article is about building a beginner robot using a kit similar to the one used in the DPRG "Build More Robot" tutorial series. Robot direction is going to be controlled using an 6-DOF IMU, MPU6050. The motors are the DFRobot yellow TTmotors with encoders, SKU FIT4050. The processor is ESP32-WROOM-32D which supports micro-ROS. The robot looks like it will be using a PC and Wi-Fi. 

 

This may be a good way to break into ROS2.

 

Regards,

Doug P.
