Thanks CBenson.
The colors will be white and black like this:
That’s a nice project bro! keep it up!
Thanks JonSpears!
[font=Helvetica Neue]Part 8 will finish in a couple of hours.[/font]
[font=Helvetica Neue] In the meantime I am doing the final touches of the Drive-system before it is sent of for CNC milling.[/font]
[font=Helvetica Neue]All the parts for the drive-system is on the way and arriving in the coming week.[/font]

Part 8 is now 3D printed:
Motor brackets 3D printed prototype before CNC. Motors arriving on Monday
Next print will be one of the wheels, a 45h print!
Test mounting prototype bracket:

Here is a nice video from the CNC milling of the first part for the drive system
Shafts are now ready. Splitting the shaft from 500mm to two 240mm. Grind top and bottom and bearings fits like a glove.
Test assembly with 3D printed motor brackets and wheel hub. Everything fits perfect! I will add some extra mountings for the the vertical support beam. Other then that I think they are ready for CNC milling.
The horizontal support beam fresh from the CNC.

Wheel print finished tonight. a 44 hours print. Looks Good overall. Printed with 3 shells 15% infill at 240C and 85C. It consumed 550grams of primaselect filament and the wheel feels unbreakable
Today I received the new BLDC motors & the VESC controllers for the Valify robot lawnmower.
Here is some pictures from test mounting on the prototype motor brackets:
Also continued with CNC milling of parts for the Drive system:

Tested to control the motor with VESC over ROS and Differential drive, ROS controller and keyboard_teleop.

Tonight Part 10 was finished, the second wheel for the Valify Robot lawnmower. The print took around 44h and conusmed approximately 550grams of PrimaSelect PETG filament.
I just order a tachometer so I can measure the RPM easier. For low RPM the motors are working quite good. No problem with torque, as i wrote earlier I can’t even hold them. So I need to measure how low RPM the motors can handle before calculating gearing further. I will order encoders for absolute rotor positions improving low RPM start and torque. The encoder I am looking at is the AS5047P (which seems to be hard to get) I also looking at the AS5048A which can support 16384 positions per revolution. Yesterday night I continued to work with brushless motors, VESC and ROS. The Differential drive works. I hooked up a DS4 running turtlebot_teleop_joystick In order to control the motors with a joystick youtube.com/watch?v=zs_l-jMn2cI&t=3s read full post here:
My printer had no tasks in the pipeline for tonight, So I 3D printed the mounting bracket for the scanse sweep

First test of the Sweep and ROS.

Now getting a better sense of size. That’s not a small robot at all. Really looking forward to seeing it in action.
No, around 700mm is the total length. Same here working everyday to get it up and running
Today I received my touchscreen for the robot. Did a quick and dirty prototype of the mouting bracket and printed it.
Here is how how it looks mounted on the robot. (Did not have 90-degree HDMI connectors at home, thats why is lifted when powered on).

Your site is well done - really nice to have you document the process.
