A build log sharing my experiences learning how to build a rover.

2022-12-28 Update

Nothing new to report, but I thought I would check in. I have been playing golf this week while I take some time off work. Also, it has been raining, so I don’t want to start the solar rover test with those conditions.

The solar test is still running and has not stopped, which is surprising. I did not think the single charger board would supply enough power to charge the battery.

I determined that I need to use the 80650 for the servo power. The 10k battery is excellent for the Raspberry Pi Zero W. It will not supply enough voltage to run the servos. 3.7v vs 7.4 is a big difference; some might even say double.

I will provide more information on my wiring soon as I get a solution ready for testing.
