It’s May, as well as you understand what that means: we’re unwinding from a around the world event of the worker, pollen is everywhere, Hackaday visitors in the southern hemisphere are somehow offended, as well as somewhere, somebody is completing up a remote-controlled snow blower build.
In this nine-part, two-hour-long video series, [Dave] covers the planning as well as fabrication of one of the most coveted of all chilly weather condition lawn instruments. It’s a remote-controlled snow blower. just think: instead of bundling as much as go strike the driveway off, [Dave] can get all the snow off his driveway from the comfort of his living space window. Sure, it may not noise like a huge offer now that it’s Crocs & Socks weather, however this is going to be a fantastic invention in seven or eight months.
This snow blower robot is developed around two motors taken from an electric wheelchair. most snowblowers already have tracks, so the ever-important traction for this develop is already taken care of. A linear actuator takes care of the angle of the ‘scoop’, as well as a clever confabulation of bicycle sprockets, chain, as well as a motor enables the ‘chute’ of the snowblower to be directed in any type of direction. The electronics are simple sufficient – a normal, off-the-shelf RC transmitter as well as receiver handles the wireless communication while an Arduino takes those signals as well as turns them into something the relays as well as motors understand.
This is one of the much better develop vlogs we’ve seen. There are nine parts to this build, we’ve included the final, wrapup video below.
