Awesome robot to annoy my cats with

annoy-my-cats-robot's Issues

Add documentation how to run the software

3d print something to hold the speaker

Add evil emotion to the eyes when laser is on

Use R2 and L2 to go forward and reverse

The car can only go in one direction and its kinda tough to "precisely" go right of left. Which will cause the car to go forward or backwards.

We can fix this by setting forward and backwards to the R2 and L2 buttons. This way your change for incorrectly going sideways lowers.

if we give the sideways a higher order of execution then forward/backwards, then you can go sidewards while still holding the forwards button.

Create new board to extend the MISO/MOSI/CLK/Ground/5V/3.3v pins

Need 5 for each of MISO/MOSI/CLK
Need a bunch for 5V and ground and a few for 3.3v

Add button to repair bluetooth

Now I'm always repairing the bluetooth device which is not needed and annoying. But I kinda have to because there must be a way to pair if the pair is broken.

We should not pair by default and add a button to the car which triggers the bluetooth pair behaviour. This way we can quickly start the car in case it is already paired. And have a backup plan in case the pair is broken.

Ohw and I can finally play with the buttons that I have for years :9

Solder awesome plate for the RGB led drivers

Need 3 TLC9540's and lots of pins for power and ground

Control speed based on how far the analog buttons are pressed

Now the car and the laser arm have one fixed speed. We should configure a min and max range and map that based on the analoge value of the controller.

This way the car can move faster depending how far you press the button

Add light modes

Like normal car light
And random disco

Mount the 3d printen light holders to the car

Add the lights back to the car

We should solder the lights and mount them somehow to the car

Add bump detection

Must mount a few lever switches to the ends of the car

Add possibilility to use the car "horn"

The buzzer is now only used for reverse. But we could also trigger it based on an action on the controller. This gives us the idea of having a horn on the car.

If the horn in not active then the reverse mode can use it as bieper

Add the required hardware components to the documentation

Be able to invert the vertical laser motor

Controlling the horizontal laser motor can feel "inverted" depending on the orientation of the car.
If we add a button that inverts the orientation then we can hit that button if we do not like the current orientation.

Add sound to the car

Add emotion to the eyes

Like random winks

Add the 3d models to the codebase

Add blue pulse mode to the lights when pairing

Looks cool and gives us feedback about the state

Add emotions to bump

Like sound ouch. And emotion in the eyes

Solder a million RBG leds for the lights

Or 16

3d print something to hold the siren leds

Add readme how to configure the USB Host library

Add hardware documentation. How to build the car

Add siren to the top of the car

We still have 4 outputs from the shift register which we can use for 2 red and 2 blue lights to create a siren on the top of the car

Add eyes to the car

With 2 8x8 led matrices

Add the led driver chipset to the current location of the power display

Move the power meter to another spot
