Hi all,

I was thinking of a project using the Devastater Robot as the platform with the raspberry pi.

(as seen in the video on youtube by Explaining Computers.

Has any one done this also a parts list to build the basic robot with keyboard control !



Thanks

From my memories of that set of videos, Chris had links in the video descriptions to the parts he used, and the code he wrote. The Explaining Computers website will still have the links as well.

Thanks, I will view that again.

The keyboard control code was developed on one of an earlier series on his Zumo robot, and reused for the Devastator robot.

The Devastator series on YouTube is

i started on my devastator robot too, but with the subsequent failure of my 3 x ZeroWs, I gave up on this too!

(I planned to use the motor hat and DC relay for this project)

Sorry to hear that. Could you give some more information on how the Pis failed?

For example, I use anti-vibration mountings on the electronics so that the boards aren’t subject to large G shocks, and destroyed too fast.

Oh no, nothing like that. One of them lost the WiFi. I can’t get it to work/recognized. Another one conked out and doesn’t boot up any more (no lights etc) no matter what SD card I use. And the last one I think shorted out when I was diddling with the pins (Shim, LED string, etc)

Hey Ray,

Sorry to hear that, are you still getting the bootloader splash without an SD card? If any of the Pi failed due to faults please email support@coreelectronics.com.au and we’ll run through the appropriate troubleshooting and returns/refunds process with you. If there’s anything else that we can do for you please let us know.
