Again, it’s getting more and more interesting every Thursday and Saturday! Fantastic presentation! Hope the number of subscribers would exceed millions! Super great series!
this "black box" your speaking of, is also called MicroServices in software development.... on Amazon your shipping doesn't need to know about your billing, but both might need to know about your address. so each 3 of them are seperate services. This also allows you to turn around one day and say "i want to overhal the shipping, or in your case, i want to move from XXX navigation to YYY navigation, as long as the parts are decoupled and abstracted away from each other enough. with a common interface(your example was HDMI) then you can swap,remove/add whatever you like! this is too how im building my robot. looking forward to watching the restr of this series! loving your channel too! Take a subscription from me :)
Great introduction, well worth the wait. I am thinking of building mine for garden work, maybe filling the bird feeder at the same time as cutting the grass on the way to the feeder. Maybe it can wave it’s arms and shout to scare off the crows! So many possibilities. Can’t wait until next episode. Thank you.
I love the attention to detail and how thorough these videos are presented. One never has to second guess. All though I have said it before, this has got to be one of the neatest workshops I have ever seen!
I'm looking forward to following along with this project. Your videos are quite informative and well thought out. BTW, I personally think that DB-1 is a fitting name, but at the same time, I'm sure that some of your more clever viewers, will come up with some great ideas. Thanks Bill.
Congrats Bill on this project beginning, but what are the measurements you call "inches" ? The rest of the world has trouble following such an antiquated measurement system which is no longer used outside of the US of A. Of course that won't keep me from enjoying the videos - please keep them coming.
outstanding Bill! I have been waiting for this series.. this is gonna be fun! thanks for sharing you abilities with us.. you have put the adventure back in this old mans everyday life again!... take care and I will see you again soon.
I like the way you broke up the three functional blocks. It's very similar to my ARDVARC. Brajns, navagation, and sensors. I opted for a mixture of SPI and I2C for communicating between the blocks. Standard protocols, fast, simple, and well supported by most devices. Not certain of their noise immunity, but I have shorter runs then you will have. Ethernet is likely a good call for DB1. Best of luck. I'll be following along.
This is going to be awesome! I do hope you plan to provide a bill of materials with links to products, so it’s easy for us who want to keep up, to order the same parts.
LOL, love the reference to Boaty McBoatface, and good luck with mastering plexiglass cutting. I suffer from a lack of patience and always seem to break corners.
I lost my NSF funding for my robot and experiments when covid hit. Now I'm having to do it myself. I'm a psychologist, and hopefully now builder of robots to complete my work. Thank you for this series because I tried the little bots and they are unusable toys. Great playing with but not suitable for my needs.
Great!!! I've juste discovered you channel, thank you for sharing your knoledge /experiances . And thank you also for your clear and detailled informations
Excellent new series Bill. I'll definitely be following this along with all your regular DroneBot Workshop videos. Your videos are great and your additional website is superb. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. Hopefully that number will grow.
Thank you Mystic Dreamer (love the name BTW). I'm also hoping to grow my subscriber count but I'm also grateful to all the folks who have already subscribed, it really means a lot to me.
I would hate to see your channel fade away due to lack of support. Your content is excellent. I'm thinking that a lot of robotic forums should be pointing their robotics enthusiasts to your channel. They may not be aware of how versatile your builds actually are. As you point out in your video you are currently building a specific robot, but the concepts can be applied to any robot build. And that's of very great value. I can't thank you enough for having created DroneBot Workshop, and I'm very glad to have found your channel. I don't even remember how I originally found it, but I'm glad I did.
One suggestion. If this is to be "universal" can we please have any measurements and dimensions in mm also, since the majority of the world uses metric?
@@Dronebotworkshop @DroneBot Workshop Thank you Bill; I can't wait for part 2! I'm also looking forward to your normal content on Saturdays and I have subscribed to your Newsletter. I am trying to get my daughter interested in STEM subjects and you have really fueled my (and her) enthusiasm.
I'm curious as to why the power supply isn't a stand alone component; capable of being swapped out. (hot swap) But then maybe it is, but just located in the Navigation Box. Thanks.
Hi Kashif. I go over some of its intended capabilities in the article but let me ask you - what would YOU like to see it do? I'm hoping for a lot of user input on this project and would appreciate any suggestions.
@@Dronebotworkshop Get the mail, fetch a beer, stack, sort and pick project boxes, bring out the trash, telepresence functionality, Clean the workbench and sort RFID-labeled tools to name a few ideas.
You can drill and tap the acrylic m3 thread and screw standoff in directly. I did it on the face of my tax power supply build to hold the led board on.
Thanks this is a great work well done, we appreciate yours efforts . Can you make us a smart agriculture using iot? we will thank you more by sharing this knowledge with you.
Actually the blades I bought worked fine, I just finished cutting it. Kept the saw at a slow speed so I wouldn't risk melting the plastic and I actually impressed myself with how nice it came out. Of course any time I can cut a straight line and keep all of my fingers intact I'm impressed! But I do appreciate teh tip, thank you!
Perhaps you could make available a kit we could buy from amazon if we want to follow along. Just make sure it's available in the amazon UK store, please.
I want to see a follow me bot, also I want a bot that can follow a path of a set of GPS coordinates, i.e. someone walks a certain path and transmits their GPS locations to a receiving station such as a computer, the computer will then sends these coordinates to the bot to follow, it's a good idea for search and rescue where the bot or a bunch of bots will autonomously track a person(s) in remote places.
Whoever wants to build a similar robot and is looking for inspiration on the mechanical engineering side should check out www.firstinspires.org where children get introduced to robotics. The "mentors" in these teams are professionals that have been developing a range of interesting mechanisms over the years for different tasks. Just search for "first robotics" on youtube.
in expensive ? i dont think kids have got £100 kicking about for projects like this some are lucky to be on the internet and are only just managing that

Notisquad what up!
This is gonna be one helluva series, Bill! ❤
I'm looking forward to it as well, it's a project I've wanted to work on for a very LONG time.
Hi Azy, fancy seeing you here !...ya gonna build a robot ?
This series is absolutely invaluable for anyone interested in building a small robot from scratch.
why?

Everyone needs adventure now and then, so happy to oblige!
I am really thankful to have you here

"All the other robots will laugh at it". PML 😆 😅 😂 🤣
Great idea, can't wait to see more.
Part 2 is next Thursday, I'll see you then!

You are a gem. I appreciate the effort..keep it coming. Love the series ❤

You can use a slipring to connect sensors on a rotatable table
Very good explanation of black-box concepts. Thank you!

All those hours I spent with my Erector Set, are finally paying off 😄
so exciting :D, thank you for the series

inb4 this channel has 1m+ subscribers. Great guy, great content!
This is going to be epic! Thanks so much.
You're very welcome. Be sure to tune in next week for part 2!

Love the workshop layout and your camera work. Maybe foam ceiling to cut out the echoing?
Realy looking forward to this.
Thank you, glad to hear it!
SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!!
I am extremely excited for this!
Very helpful robot tutorials! Thanks a lot!
Try adjusting your editing so you cut then turn, rather than turn then cut. It looks more natural.
I'm afraid I have to agree.
I am really looking forward to this series! I have an interest in this and am looking to learn a lot from you. THANKS!
Glad to hear it Bruce, thank you!
Looking forward to it. Cheers
Really looking forward to seeing this!!!
Thanks Steve!
Superb ideas thanks see you soon
nice series! can you attach 5-6 DOF arm to it to do some work?
Following with great interest....thank you!
I'm glad to hear it interests you, appreciate your comment!
Hey!
Can you make tutorials on ROS?
Thanks
PS: Keep up the good work :)
Thank you for the good video, I want to follow your making the robot. where can I buy the chassis?
Great job as always.
Thank you Shareef
Epic!
I'm curious as to why the power supply isn't a stand alone component; capable of being swapped out. (hot swap) But then maybe it is, but just located in the Navigation Box. Thanks.
Very nice
Thank you!
I hate to jump forward to fast but is it possible for me to write my own code for this?
you are great man
I just love your videos sir but I want to make best diy sensored drone soo plz make it for us we are waiting for it
Thank You..
I have pages of channels that I am subscribed to, but yours is the only one that I rang the bell on. Keep up the great work.
I have a lifesize home robot I'm making interested to see how the lidar works the tolerance on space going through doors is tight
Hey how about a AC brushless Motor ?:)
Looking forward to this series!
Great, What will be the functionality of this ROBOT

👍👍☺ amazing 👌
Very clear and engaging.
Keep this good work up.
Got a parts list?
Sir can you please come up with Arduino programing tutorial
I really enjoy watching your videos! :-)
Cut it with a wet saw works good for plastic👍
Actually the blades I bought worked fine, I just finished cutting it. Kept the saw at a slow speed so I wouldn't risk melting the plastic and I actually impressed myself with how nice it came out. Of course any time I can cut a straight line and keep all of my fingers intact I'm impressed!
But I do appreciate teh tip, thank you!
Is it artificial intelligence or not
Love the idea of shorter videos!! Great!
Sounds like an interesting new series. I'll be watching, as always.
Wonderful, thank you!
You are amazing, thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us, keep up the good work.
And thak you Vasilis for the nice comment, knowledge is one thing that I'm very happy to share.
are you making the robot with a raspberry pi? :D
@@Daniel-js3tx thank you
Where can I get the metalwork you are using?
ServoCity.com
David DeBello Thanks
