hi, what camera do you suggest for adding to this rover for inspection? (need a good camera) the rover will go into wet areas so has to be waterproof. I was thinking of a stanalone one like a go Pro or one connected to a microcontroller inside the body. I didn’t make my mind yet if i go for radio controlled or a micro’s wifi so all options are available. Thanks
You can go for Raspberry Pi + Waterproof USB Camera Module or ESP32-CAM with a Waterproof Housing
Hi jupiter8,
It greatly depends on what you need to see as a video feedback.
Using it for inspection would require a live video feed to a monitor or something.
We created the A4WD3 with a location in the front plate to allow for that but left it to the customer to implement their own solution (ex. 3D printed mount. It would be possible to use this factory mount and have a camera behind the plexiglass, this would be a fixed option.
One could have a video transmitter inside the body and maybe, if needed, have the antenna drilled through the top plate.
The space available for the camera inside is small, mostly for a CCD analog camera.
What’s your plan ?
