Personal Invasion Emulator 4000

===============================

![pew pew](img.jpg)

_For that moment when you really want to blitzkrieg but don't have the resources, so you have to make do with a $100 robot_

The PIE-4000 is an attempt to make a remotely-operated tank that can shoot and shoot again. It is controlled from a webpage hosted by the Raspberry Pi.

## Required programs to run it

- [Python 3.6.1](https://www.python.org/) because python

- [Pi Blaster](https://github.com/sarfata/pi-blaster) drives the motors

- [MJPG Streamer](https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer) controls the cameras

## CAD Models

- [Firing mechanism](https://a360.co/2V8koB2)

- [File containing: circuit mounting plates, turret mount, and jack for testing treads](https://a360.co/30BIuWb)

## Architecture

The user interacts directly with the Raspberry Pi. The webpage provided decodes the user input into left and right motor speeds, turret angles, laser levels, and gun firing. The Pi has direct control over the cameras, drive, and yaw gimbal stepper. It sends commands over I2C to the Arduino, which controls the firing, pitch gimbal stepper, and laser pointer.
