In this installment, I go into a bit more detail about the electronics package for my latest autonomous rover project. This is just an overview of the components, and I hope to provide more into how it all functions as a unit in future videos.
If you would like to see the first video in this series, where I cover the mechanical aspects of the chassis and drivetrain, you can find it here: youtu.be/oAXqvyIyxlA
A big part of the success of this rover comes from the excellent performance of the u-blox C94-M8P GPS RTK module. Although configuring these units for the first time was a challenge, I found valuable guidance on another YouTube channel, so if you want to learn a great deal more about the u-blox GPS RTK module, check this video out @iforce2d: youtu.be/n8PUyOtiGKo
