Hello.
Can you make use of the prototyping holes between the motors, or have you already soldered a header strip there? I know they’re small, but maybe you can fit some sort of really thin pen through the lower AD6 hole, which is the dead center of the PCB? I’d love to hear about it if you get your 3pi drawing something!
There are a few non-standard 3pi applications that have been mentioned on this forum so far:
- Ryan’s wall follower, which uses two Sharp distance sensors to follow objects on its left and go around obstacles in front of it.
- Byon’s spinning line follower, which follows a line while spinning rapidly.
- Epokh’s bio-inspired reflex response. I don’t know too much about this one yet, but it certainly seems different.
I know of several people who are trying to use groups of 3pis for swarm behavior, but I haven’t heard any results yet.
