Brushed DC motors are inherently hard to control accurately compared to modern BLDCs, especially at low speeds. Outline of what we will do: Linearize the output voltage of our H-Bridge Create an open-loop speed controller Add a closed loop speed controller on top Linearize H-Bridge Output Voltage A prerequisite to predictable motor behaviour is a…
Those little Arduino robot-car kits are neat and all, but sometimes something that provides a bit more space for electronics, something that has a little more OMPH just sounds like much more fun! So let’s build a box! With wheels and motors and all, obviously. Let’s call it a rover. Here is the wishlist for…
To train a driving model, we need driving data. Let’s break down what exactly we’re interested in. A fundamental requirement: We don’t want to do any manual labeling. We will need at least a couple hours of driving, which means 100.000s of frames recorded. We can’t possibly label those by hand within the scope of…
We want our camera-based system to run on an nVidia Jetson Nano, display a GUI on a monitor and talk to the car via a CAN-USB-interface. It should know its GPS position and be able to turn the steering wheel using a stepper motor. Guess what my car is missing? All of that. Let’s add…
Yeah, yeah, I know. Who needs another article about training some DNN on a bite-sized Kaggle dataset, and then never do anything with it, right?
That’s not what this is about. We’ll put this is a real car.
Here are the steps.
Install SnakeViz Visualizer Run profiler: Run SnakeViz Visualizer Result:

Download librealsense source as .zip: https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/releases/ After downloading the zip file, its contents should be extracted so that you have a librealsense folder cd to the librealsense root directory 5. 6. 7. 8. update your PYTHONPATH environment variable to add the path to the pyrealsense library. The folder should contain some files calles similar to „pyrealsense2.cpython-something.so“ and…
