- I built this web controlled rover using a raspberry pi zero W and an Arduino Mega. This was by far my hardest project yet. This rover can rotate in place, crab walk, and move completely sideways. This 3D design was created by @wildwillyrobots, you can check out his channel here / @wildwillyrobots
Here is a link directly to his design for this project www.printables.com/model/1942...
Here is my GitHub repo for this project github.com/Lukas2233/Rover-Pr...
You would also need to get RPi cam running and copy paste the direct camera stream url into the front end code on the rover control web page. Good luck to those trying the build!

As an engineering student, watching this was a joy!
Ayyy! I think you are my target audience lol 🤣.
Which type of Engineer you are?
@LukasDeem I know it takes a lot of dedication to finish a project like this, so as the creator of the original design, I'm really happy someone takes on the challenge. In the end that's why I shared the design.
Hey! I'm honored that you saw my video. Thanks so much for sharing your design!
The point when everything thing looks right and nothing works right is the most frustrating 💔
Hi, I've been following videos on DIY Rover and I made a car myself. wildwillyrobots' car is very good and its design is beautiful. I noticed that a long time ago. But I think it has a defect, the axle of the wheel passes through the rocker arm and is connected with the steering gear fixed in the rocker arm, which makes me doubt its strength, after all, this is 3D printed, I want this car to have a certain strength, I wonder if you have any ideas on this aspect during the development process?
@@evesgf I think you are referring to the part at 4-25 in the assembly video th-cam.com/video/bXdt8hng2WM/w-d-xo.html It has a screw all the way to give it strength. The nut for the gear screw is below the head of the long screw (video 4-09), to avoid the top breaking of the part.
@@wildwillyrobots I have carefully reviewed the video and downloaded the STL file for assembly observation, and I think there are still some strength problems, but this is what I think, so I decided to make a part for testing. Anyway, thank you very much for your reply
TH-cam has revealed to me that everyone has a lot more money and time than I do.
I only recently got to a point in life where I could fund my projects. As for time, I work full time and I'm a grad student. So I have to work on these projects on nights and weekends. I'm not going to lie it's tough. I think what keeps me going is a genuine curiosity. I love learning new things! 😸
Plenty of time here. Just no money. 😂
The music was so spot on haha. Man! The effort you put in this video is incredible! Great job Lukas!
Ayyy!!! Thanks so much :-D Your support means a lot! :) :)
Did you use Suno AI for the music?
@@notbenparisi yep!!
the music was so funny XD
@@ianchan2624 thanks! I'm planning to post a video later today about how I made these custom songs 🤣
Man the video quality is insane and the buildquality as well... i am impressed and then i saw only 4k subs... man i found a hidden gem here
Wow! Seriously thank you so much! I put a lot of work into these videos. I work full time and I'm a grad student. So it takes a lot for me to get these done. Comments like your help me maintain my motivation 🙂🙂🙂
came for the rover, stayed for the music
Ayyyyy! Thanks I'm glad you like it honestly when I was making the video I thought I might have overdone it a little bit 😅
@@LukasDeem Naah, it's perfect. Awesome job sir.
Great Job! thanks for being transparent about the mechanical design coming from WildWilly
Yes of course! 😄
MAN, the algorithm has been bringing some good stuff recently. Really love how many creators are starting to use their own original music. Absolute banger video!
Hey man thanks! I was inspired by @prestongoes his videos are super creative and he writes his own music.
Awesome project, looking to forward to more of your projects!
Hey thanks! I'm still brainstorming on my next video idea. Any suggestions are welcome 🙃
@@LukasDeema drone like nasa’s drone
I'm about 30 seconds in and subscribed! I've been working on robots for fun for years now but never done a serious project like this. I also love all of the Mars rover footage (one of the two things that got me into tech and robotics in the first place), so I'm excited to see the rest of this!
Ayyy! I appreciate it! I feel the same way. As a kid I was so inspired by the rover projects 🤣🤣.
Lukas complains about bad wifi and latency.
Nasa: Please... we had 20 minutes of communication time delay to the mars rover.
Hahaha! So true 😅😅😅. Seriously though I was able to drop the quality of the stream and it improved a lot 🫡
Quality content, man. Keep them coming
Thanks so much! I'm trying my best out here ☺️☺️
Great Project!
A few tricks on the DC-DC converters...
For the servos, look into a BEC for an RC plane. Much smaller than the the DC-DC you used.
For the Brushed DC motors, the voltage isn't the problem, it's the current. If you set the max current limit to below the max the motors can take, they can "Run at any voltage" (as the H-Bridge will protect them.)
Also, you can just run the bridges off full voltage, but limit the max PWM to 50%, for half voltage. (The current limit would be another level of protection.)
Last, look into Conformal Coating for all your PCB boards to make them water proof-ish. Dialetric grease in all the connectors (LOTS OF IT) is your friend.
I've had someone mention BEC before, I need to do some research on it. I would love to find ways to make my next project like this somewhat waterproof! Thanks for the ideas!
you mean the Adafruit 16-Channel Servo Driver?
this was honestly amazing to watch! it felt like it was just 5 minutes long... i know i will be binge watching your channel tonight!
Ayyy! That's the best compliment ever! Let me know what you like most so I can keep making good stuff 😂.
Great tutorial! I'm a beginner in robotics and this video helped me understand how to integrate Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Hey of course! Glad I could help 😃😃
Hey, I'm a high school student who's an expert at designing robots and rockets. I strongly suggest that you take on a fin-guided rocket project, which I can help you with by providing the code and CAD. Trust me, it will be a challenging and rewarding project.
By Fin guided, I'm assuming you are meaning that the fins are articulated by motors to control the trajectory of the rocket?
@@LukasDeem yup that's right fins control using the servo motor. That's a interesting project.
Hey, I'm a general multi-language developer and would love to learn more about the algorithms of these fields. Any open-source links to these type of projects would be gr8 to review and study the algorithm
so much good stuff in this video - glad I found ya !
Hey thanks I appreciate it!! I have a few more videos in the works right now! 😃
I think the custom song is great. The only other person who does anything like this is RCtestflight. He has a friend who makes the songs for his channel. This video is great.
I dig his channel 💯💯. So I just an AI tool, all I had to do was come up with lyrics 😌
@@LukasDeem And you did a great job on the first song, very appropriate. The later songs were awesome too!
The RCtestflight ones are very tongue in cheek, all of these are super on the nose. I like them! Some unsolicited constructive criticism though, maybe not make nearly every (outside of narration) song one of the custom ones, just have some that are wordless beats.
Also, maybe in the future pick one or two genres of music to stick to that fits with the theme of the video, hopping around different kinds of music is... I dunno weird, not really bad, but it does not have as much flow between cuts when it switches up temp etc.
Its really lovely to see the work & effort put into a job finally work. amazing video 👌
Hey thanks a time this one was definitely a challenge for me 🤣
great job!!!! Bravo!!!
Ayyy thank you so much! ☺️
This is awesome! I need to try this!
Go for it! The design of the rover provided by wild Willy is great! The electronics choices I made leave room for improvement 🙃
SO GORGEOUS
coolest project with a raspberry pi that i ever seen
Hey thanks!! It was my first time using one 🙃
Top!!! Thanks!!!!
Hey I appreciate it! 😎
I was trying to gather details but there were not such videos related to how to make rover yours is a walllaaaaahhh loved it thankyou so much will try it now
Hey! I'm glad I could help! Make sure you check out Wild Willy robotics Assembly video that helped me a ton.
sick! playing this for my students now! Thank you : )
Hey that's awesome just be aware that there are some censored cuss words in it 😅😅
the production value in this video was insane, keep up the great work
This is literally the best compliment 😸. I put a lot of time into this one 😎
This is great man! I can totally relate to your excitement when it was finally driving around! Super cool! Looking forward to seeing more. Keep up the great work! I agree with others, the music is friggin fantastic.
Hey thanks so much! What this video didn't capture is the two months of struggles that I went through to get that thing working lol. I'm sure you can sympathize 😂😂. Thanks for the thoughtful comment ♥️
@@LukasDeemdude. The victory wouldnt be as sweet without it! Right?! Haha the Portal vibes with the tunes are inescapable. 😂. I wish I still had my podcast as I'd totally want to get you on there and talk shop! 😂
@Geeksmithing that's a huge compliment! I'm a total newbie but I really enjoy this stuff and haven't having a blast learning!
Crushing it dude! Keep it up!
I loved the custom songs XD
Ayyy! Thanks man! 😁
The music had me rolling 😂hahaha! What an awesome project!!
Ayyy! Had a ton of fun making those songs 😆😆😆
I’m half way through a just realized the songs are custom. 😮😂
I believe they were all generated by Suno AI. Pretty cool tech!
@@notbenparisi every song with lyrics was AI. The background music in some places came from epidemic sound
Beautiful rover. Nicely done 👍🏾✅
Thanks so much!!
Maaan this was soo cool!! As a recent Robotics engineering graduate, I think you're already an engineer even though you don't consider yourself as one yet.
Hey thanks so much! I feel like Im missing some fundamentals such as the math behind how to design safe and strong structures for example.
Project is cool ,amazing and fantastic one ......big up , am a robotic lover
I also love robots 🫡
Well done !! 😀
Thank you!
As an aspired robotic engineer, I love this so much especially the designs, wireless controls and also the music🤩. If it is possible could we work together on the next project of yours. I noticed you faced issues with space. I could handle the PCB designing part of the next upcoming project so we get rid of those cables flying around. I will be glad to connect with you. I love working on real world problems.
Thanks so much I just replied to your email. 💯💯💯
Do upu have a video or guide on how you prgrammed the pi and arduino?
Hey! I posted my code on GitHub github.com/Lukas2233/Rover-Project
Just an excellent work 🎉
Thanks I really appreciate it!!! 😁
Thank you so much for sharing! my freind gave me his old Swampy Rover and i've fixed it up, but now i want to make a robot myself. You've given me hope
Do it! Post a video about it 😀😀
@@LukasDeem not sure if You Tubewill let me do this but.,.. this is the old one after I fixed it . But yes, I will! thank you th-cam.com/users/shortsit0jKVa3QGg?si=ZkBH18MvBxmeNVQ-
@@deanallenjones you delivered!! I think it's hilarious that in my video the test was going over a block of wood and in yours it was going over a brick lol 🤣🤣
What a work of art, amazing
Wow thanks I really appreciate it! 😄
The custom robot soundtrack though! :D
Well done. I'm also a fan of Wild Willy. Perhaps I'll follow in your "footsteps."
Hey thanks!! Do it! He has some other awesome projects on his page as well!
Awesome video. The audio quality and video quality were very nice. Keep it up!!
Hey thanks a ton I really appreciate it!
Nice project and great job on the video
Hey thanks so much! 😄
Wow, just wow!
Hey thanks so much!! ☺️☺️
Good job man. I'm interested in this project now..
Hey thanks! It was a fun one for sure!
This is great, honestly I love this so much and I'm looking forward to creating a rover has cool as yours 🔥💯
Ayy! Thanks so much 😎😎
This is so GOOD!
Oh hey PCBWay! This project is a prime candidate for a PCB, I'm planning to learn how to create my own soon! 🫡
@@LukasDeem Get the ball rolling, Lukas!! We just can’t wait to see your next one!
Dude u are totally an engineer, great work, loved it
Oh wow thanks! 😄😄
What a fantastic production! Your presentation was professional level... The project was interesting... You had to 'learn as you went', and we learnt too... The pace was perfect... There was an element of suspense... We shared in your elation with the successes, and the pain of the failures... AND...
The custom music soundtrack was out of this world!
Congratulations, and thank you so much... Liked and Subscribed - looking forward to more of the same.
Wow! As an aspiring TH-cam creator this is the best comment I could receive. I really appreciate your kind words. I'm doing this projects while working full time and going to grad school. Sometimes it's hard to find the motivation, so comments like these can really give me a boost! Thank you!
Hey!
Instead of suing buck converter to drop down the voltage to 6v, you could lover max duty cycle of the pwm signals coming to h-bridge to 50%.. this would essentially result in the same voltage drop :)
you could also drop the arduino entirely and use something like adafruit 16 channel PWM/Servo controller that also connects with i2c, but it's far easier to manage (as it's doesn't need separate arduino code).
these both improvements would get you much much space to work with under the hood :)
Besides that! cool one!!
Hey! I need to look more into this idea of lowering the duty cycle. I actually have extra pwm servo boards lying around, I didn't even think of that. I think I wanted to use the Arduino to off board some of the logic required to run the motors.
Great production value, love the rover work and songs! Subbed!
Hey thanks so much!! I really appreciate the support. I put a lot of work into these videos, kind words like these make it worth it! 💯
Next add a drone that charges off your rover and can fly around and land back on it so it can do it multiple times. After that, send the whle thing to Mars. /s.
Very impressive project. Fun to watch.
Haha now that would be awesome 😎
Awesome work
Thank so you much!
This SCREAMS for a GSM module!
Or 5G!
I was thinking 5G, but now I gotta google what a GSM module is 🙃
Great editing
Thanks! I put many hours into the edit 🤣
You would likely have better results with a 2S lipo battery. I know the motors say 6 V but they would be fine with the 7-8.4 V of a 2S lipo, especially if you limit the PWM duty cycle. That way you could get rid of the large buck converter.
You can also get smaller motor drivers and since your motors are quite small and have gearboxes you shouldn’t need much current anyway.
Edit: piling the electronics in, even just for testing is how you end up with a short.
Also you shouldn’t need the router, the pi should be able to create its own wifi network that you can connect the laptop too.
Overall it is a good project.
Totally agree and this was quite the learning experience for me including these comments 😁. So the whole reason that I did the router in the first place was because I wanted to give control to people over the internet. I was actually able to get that working but the latency was pretty bad so I didn't include it in the video 😅
@@LukasDeem people controlling it over the internet is definitely interesting, I have seen it done once before on reddit where someone had built some robots and a website for them for people to take turns controlling them but i don't think it was that great either.
In regards to latency the latency over just a local network isn't great either. Maybe the pi isn't powerful enough to handle the video streaming although it probably should be. Was it a pi zero or pi zero 2? Did you compress the video? Either that or lowering the resolution could help. Maybe doing it as a website is just adding too much overhead, I wonder if creating a non website GUI that runs on the laptop and just streaming the video to it instead could help.
It is quite a steep learning curve to get into robotics and there isn't a definitive right way to do things either. For a first robotics project this was definitely a good and well made project. I'm very interested to see what you make next.
@@conorstewart2214 awesome advice! Yeah I played around with the camera stream quality and it certainly helped. I used just a basic pi zero 😅😅
I'm feeling so excited watching this video
Ayyy! I'm glad you are enjoying! ☺️
Very cool, your wife seemed very excited for the progress too! Subscribed! 👍
Thanks so much!! 😸
So cool. 🎉
Hey thanks!! 🙃
Good Work.
Thank you!
Great first iteration! Lets see some refinement. Nice over all job.
Thanks so much! The main thing I want to change is I want to learn how to use a PCB instead of a bunch of components 😂
really great job
Thank you! 😃
You will go big in future❤ best wishes 🎉
Wow thank you so much!! 😁
Xlnt...we are building something similar for agri...loved the work and ur diligence! 👍
Hey thanks so much! What kind of applications are you attending to use yours for?
@@LukasDeem Mailed you.
Never seen this channel before,i think youtube is wildly recommending this vedio,The number of veiw of this vedio is going to sky 🚀. Anyway i like the each theme song of each section,made it something unique.
Hey thanks so much! I'm doing my best to make interesting stuff🤠
nice work
👍
Thank you!!
Dud this is awesome. Keep going at it. Going to be building your clock next month.
Hey thanks! Hopefully you have better luck figuring out how to power that clock than I did 😅😅. I would suggest you read through the comments on that video there were tons of good suggestions on how to improve the design.
damn that's so cool, great job man. you can use a PCB printing service to put your microcontroller, buck converter and PWM controllers all on the same board. might be cool to add some hall-effect sensors to calibrate your motors, the problem with awesome projects like this is they never end, you're on to the next version once you're "done" :)
Truer words have never been spoken 😂. I really want to learn PCB design but I haven't had time to dive into it yet. It's on my list 🙃
@@LukasDeem you can use easyeda for this...this is a very beginner friendly software and you can easily design a PCB with it.
Looks nice!! I love it
Hey thanks so much!! The look of it is my favorite part 🤣🤣
Amazing! I'm trying to do a robotic arm myself! Maybe later we fuse a hand and wheels later! lol
Haha let's do it!
Sweet!
Thanks!!
This video made me feel so happy for you!
Hey thanks so much!!! It's the biggest project I've taken on yet 🤣
Nice job, thinking it might become a project with my grand kids!
That would be fun! I don't know how old they are, but I would put this under the "advanced" category. Maybe 16 years of age and up?
@@LukasDeem Well, the oldest is twelve but GrandPa will provide and support ;-)
Sehr gut!!!
Why does this not have more views
Hey thanks! I hope people like it 🙀
Absolutely smashing.
I had a dream to build a rover-like vehicle. Not as sophisticated as yours perhaps but nonetheless... However, my dream didn't stop there...
The rover was going to be dropped from a large drone after flying for 5 or so miles out of sight up to an altitude of 1800ft to a nearby hill where I used to live.
This was as close as I could get to living out my childhood dreams of taking part in a Mars mission.
Then the powers that be killed drones flying out of sight stone dead.
That was the end of that!
Hey thats awesome! I wonder if you could just control the drone from near that hill so that you're still technically in line of sight so that you can do this cuz this is awesome 🤠🤠
The Robot Friend song is hilariously great. Nice project.
That's my favorite one!! 🤣🤣
Nice how you have every music for every section of the video 🎉😊❤
Hey thanks so much!!! I had a lot of fun using suno.com 🙃
amazing video. subbed!!
Ayyy! thanks so much 💯💯
Great job.
Thanks!!
i built a webinterface controlled pizero robot with camera as well, using python and an explorer hat. mine is much more limited with just 2 motors for motion and 1 for rotaion of the body part. you've done a great job,especially the camera. mine only handles a few frames/sec.
It's all about learning and having fun! That's awesome! I think mine came out pretty well I just wish I knew how to design a PCB so I could have a custom board instead of all those parts inside 😅
@@LukasDeem kicad can be used. I designed a pcb for a shift register ic so I could read multiple switches using a minimum of io ports on the pi, but a breadboard (prototyping board) is handy for checking that the design works before comitting to pcb.
Yes, I liked it a lot, very good job. This would be very enjoyable doing it as a team and with a trillion in funding
Haha I know right!? 🚀
Remove the filters completely, add a few IR diodes and you have night vision! Will look a bit weird in daylight but hey
Night vision would be super cool!! I was actually thinking about just putting really bright LEDs on it 🤠
Cool! Next up: Analogue controls (looks like everything's on/off now) and then, integration, a single board to rule it all :)
PS: And LoRa(WAN), so that you can save some power and increase the transmission distance quite a bit
Yes yes and yes! 😄😄
Enjoyed the vid. Those L298N motor drivers are antiques though, should have gone for something much smaller!
Haha they did feel unnecessarily large :P
I have been thinking about doing this for a bit using an ESP32 and LoRa so that I can remotely traverse the hundreds of square miles of desert I live right next to.
Oh man that would be super cool! I was thinking about upgrading to 5G network at some point so I can in theory control it from anywhere with service.
It would have been great if you had made a separate video detailing the electronic and power sub-assemblies. Are you connecting the battery to a terminal block to feed power to all the different components? Radio communication would be more efficient than wireless-a future upgrade--?? Nice work!
Well the reason I used Wi-Fi is because I originally wanted to set this up so that somebody could control it remotely over the internet. I actually did get that working but because of the latency I had I decided not to use it in the video. As for the power supply I soldered everything to a small prototyping board to distribute the power to all the motors. Probably not the best way to do it but it worked 🤷♂️
Cool tip you may want to know about is Windows comes with a cool SLT util called 3D Builder which allows you to modify STL. I use it all the time. Using 3D builder you can add the camera hole and more important add needed vents.
Ayyy! I had no idea. I've been trying to learn fusion 360 😄
@@LukasDeem yeah same here. But for fast modifications it is really cool. As well, if any errors are found in the STL files, the util will fix them. Very fun and simple modification tool that all should have. I myself use it at times to simply add custom supports.
@@LukasDeem I need to move to Fusion 360 yet can't get myself to stop using FreeCAD lol
damn bro! thats amazing :D much better than buying spot tbh
Haha thanks 🤠
Scrap the massive 6V buck converter and power the motor driver directly from a 2S lipo or li-ion battery. You will only need a small 6V (maybe 3A) buck converter for the servo motors.
I had a feeling that buck converter was way too big 😂
Very nice project!
Thanks!!
Wish this was a whole series
Hey! Do you mean you want more detail on this specific build? Or just more videos similar to this one? 😸
Specific build like code
@@phaniraja9104 thanks for the reply. When I make these videos I struggle to decide how detailed to get. I've even considered having a short video and then the long in depth videos. 😃
This is pure joy ♥♥♥♥♥😀👌
Ayyyy! Thanks so much! 😃
Great work, from one hacker to another.🤖
Ayyy! Thanks!! 🫡🫡
Great job with the rover and the music! I'm building a different version with the rocker-bogie design similar to yours except there are only 6 motors - the wheels don't turn like yours. I have to admit the coding is kicking my butt, good for you to get through that. I'm using an ESP32 camera module, Arduino Uno and laptop with a python client. The Serial communications between the Uno and ESP32 is the hardest part of the whole project so far.
Yeah i struggled with that part too with the pi and Arduino. I found out that I was scanning for the wrong serial address and that's what was preventing communication 🤣
Not sure what you've set the voltage in the step down converter to, but keep in mind, that with the bipolar transistors on the L298Ns H-Bridges you get a voltage drop of about 1.4V, so you might get a little more power out of your motors by increasing the voltage of the stepdown converter to 7.4V, in order to give the motors 6V, if you've not already done that. You could also check the voltage drop by measuring the voltage on one of the Outputs of your Motordrivers on fullspeed
Hey so yeah and some of my first outdoor test I saw that it was going super slow and I knew that I needed to up the voltage. I ended up bumping it up to 7.1v thanks for the tip on how to measure the output voltage I think I need to go back and do that and see what I'm actually getting at the output of the motor drivers.
@@LukasDeem if you have the option to measure the motors voltage with an osziloscope you can even measure it at any pwm setting, as you can read the voltage during the on time.depending on the load you can actually go a bit higher than the rated voltage as well, but therefore you should measure the current through the motors under load to have a reference.
You dont want the motor to get to hot
That was pretty impressive. The video also. Very interesting and entertaining.
Hey thanks so much! That's my goal "edutainment" 🤣
The musicccccc is a nice touch
Hey thanks a ton! 🤠🤠
love the music! 😂
Thank you I used an AI tool! Suno.com
This is going to be my college project but with major changes 😅❤
Hey! What kind of changes are you planning?
Hi this is nice and cool project, actually i am thinking to start a similar project but to. Code do i need ros , linux system or can i do this with windows laptop
So you can write all the code on your PC. I used VS code and GitHub.
