More Design Details

Multi-Functional Driver Board

• Used as the sub controller of the robot, onboard ESP32 module and can be controlled via serial port, http request, ESP-NOW and other communication protocols, provides a web application for some basic control of the robot.
• ESP32 can handle low-level computations for the robot, such as high-frequency PID controller for controlling wheel speed, high-frequency inverse kinematics calculations for robotic arm linkages, position interpolation calculation, Pan-Tilt angle control and OLED screen control, etc.
• ESP32 is also responsible for data reading of various sensors, such as IMU (9-axis attitude sensor) and INA219 (battery voltage detection), and can independently achieve the camera vertical stabilization function, effectively saving computing and IO resources for the host controller.
