PYPER 2 borrows design elements and carries over some components from [PYPER](https://github.com/TimHanewich/PYPER), my original design.\n\n*Click the picture below for a demo*\n\n[![pic](https://i.imgur.com/sahroON.jpeg)](https://youtu.be/lZBzH99BloM)\n\n## 3D-Printing the Parts\n![blender](https://i.imgur.com/SdJzHiA.png)\n\nPYPER 2 was designed in [Blender](https://www.blender.org/). You can find PYPER 2's Blender design file in this repo as [design.blend](./design.blend).\n\n## Electronic Wiring\n![wiring](https://i.imgur.com/IS3WrjF.png)\n\nPYPER 2's wiring diagram was developed in [draw.io](https://draw.io). You can open [wiring.drawio](./wiring.drawio) on **draw.io**.\n\n## The Code\nPYPER 2 is programmed in MicroPython and is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi Pico. You can find the entire source code in the [src folder](./src/). Update the settings in the [settings.py](./src/settings.py) module according to your specific wiring, deploy to a Raspberry Pi Pico using Thonny, and you should be good to go!\n\n## Current Design Issues\nPYPER 2 is not perfect. I plan to update a few things in the future that are, as of now, not ideal:\n- **Make the Raspberry Pi Pico's USB port easily accessible**: Very difficult to get to Raspberry Pi Pico USB port without taking lid off and rear right spacer. \n- **Tie rod redesign**: The tie rod (component that holds the front two steering uprights together) is not an elegant design.\n- Perhaps improve wire organization, if possible.\n\n## Miscellaneous Design Notes\n- Specs of original drive shaft gear: https://i.imgur.com/a3ub9se.png\n- Specs of original motor gear (attached to TT motor): https://i.imgur.com/Kuyyccg.png","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimhanewich%2Fpyper2","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftimhanewich%2Fpyper2","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimhanewich%2Fpyper2/lists"}
