Tank Rover Control System Setup Guide

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up the tank rover control system.

Raspberry Pi Setup

  1. Install the Raspberry Pi OS on the Raspberry Pi Zero W.
  2. Connect the Raspberry Pi Zero W to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
  3. Configure the Raspberry Pi Zero W to connect to your local Wi-Fi network.

Web Server Deployment

  1. Install the required dependencies:
    • Python 3
    • Flask (pip install flask)
    • RPi.GPIO (pip install RPi.GPIO)
    • tkinter (sudo apt-get install python3-tk)
  2. Copy the main.py and motor_control.py files to the Raspberry Pi Zero W.
  3. Run the main.py script to start the web server.

L298N Connections

  1. Connect the L298N Motor Driver Controller Board to the Raspberry Pi Zero W using the following GPIO pins:
    • LEFT_FORWARD_PIN: 17
    • LEFT_BACKWARD_PIN: 18
    • RIGHT_FORWARD_PIN: 27
    • RIGHT_BACKWARD_PIN: 22
  2. Connect the motors to the L298N Motor Driver Controller Board.

Boot Configurations for Headless Operation

  1. Configure the Raspberry Pi Zero W to boot in headless mode:
    • Enable SSH.
    • Disable the desktop environment.
  2. Add the main.py script to the autostart configuration to start the web server on boot.

Additional Notes

  • Make sure to provide a reliable power supply for the Raspberry Pi Zero W and the motors.
  • Test the control system thoroughly before deploying it in a real environment.
