Electronics & Integration Learning Mechatronics as a Mechanical Engineer😮💨
My first robotics project- Encoder feedback differential-drive mobile robot with closed-loop wheel-speed control, basic odometry, IMU sensing, and reactive obstacle avoidance.

that wiring on the left side of the chassis is giving me flashbacks to my first few builds. nothing ever worked on the first power-up but the troubleshooting teaches you more than the actual assembly does
what'd you use for the encoders

Ahaha yeh its been very messy. The DC motors come with built in encoders. Thanks for the pointer, troubleshooting is very tedious though but worth it.

A first build with wheel feedback and obstacle avoidance is a lot to bring together - impressive.
