Solar Testing Still working and wiring of motors done

This week was cold, windy, and rainy.  In fact, I did not even notice until yesterday that the Solar Test unit had blown over in the wind. It was lying on the ground, solar panels down for three days. I am chalking that up to a good test to see if the battery can recover.   This morning all is still working.

I finished the wiring of the servos for the four motors and steering on Orngy.

I found these little back clips on Amazon.

Next up with the wiring of the Raspberry Pi and the other batteries.  I need to test the charging solution I have for two LiPO batteries, as I need the extra voltage for the servos to work.

Once the wiring is complete and I a start working on the software to get this thing to move. I also need to figure out a camera arm and avoidance sensors.

Lots to learn and lots to do still.
