Today I have taken the tower off of the DB1 robot and am going to concentrate on the base. While we have already done a lot of work with the base, all of this has so far been mechanical components like the frame, wheels and motors.

Now it’s time to look at some of the electronics.

I will show you the electronic modules that will be used with the Navigation layer of DB1. This consists of an Arduino Mega 2560, a Raspberry Pi 3B+, two Cytron MD10C motor drivers plus two custom boards.

You will learn what each of these modules is going to do in the final design, you’ll also see how I have designed the Power Distribution board.

As always you will find an article accompanying this video on the DroneBot Workshop website at https://dbot.ws/rbt005
