RC Donkey

Based on the excellent project by Will Roscoe [https://github.com/wroscoe/donkey]

Simplified to use RC during training and driving - removing the need for WiFi and control using smartphone.

Talk from SatRDay included as a branch.

To automate running donkeyreader:

text
---------------------------------------------------

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/init.d/run_ai.sh
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          sample.py
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start daemon at boot time
# Description:       Enable service provided by daemon.
### END INIT INFO

cd /home/pi/rcdonkey/donkeyreader/
./run.sh
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/run_ai.sh
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo update-rc.d run_ai.sh defaults
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo reboot

Done, once your Raspi booted up run.sh (donkeyreader) should already run in the background

Questions

What parts does the Donkey reader pcb use?

21 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Donkey reader pcb KiCad files?

From the house4hack/rcdonkey repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is donkey-reader-pcb/donkey-reader-pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Donkey reader pcb design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask house4hack before reusing the design.
