Inspiration
We want to tackle the Vector challenge because it seemed the most fun and offered a cool learning path to all of us
What it does
The duck is currently controlled manually, but will be autonomous (using either an outside camera or inside sensor data) soon.
How we built it
We used ESP32, ESP8266 and the Infineon CY8CKIT-062S2-AI board (including its sensors) to communicate, now where we are and control the two motors.
Challenges we ran into
Not flipping the duck, having reliable communication between outside and duck, starting to get the duck autonomous with its sensor data (e.g., compass degree data).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Manual steering, soon: autonomous steering
What we learned
Team work, finding out the requirements, using ESP Now for communication, using Infineon sensor libraries (HAL), stabilizing the duck, and of course (vibe) coding
What's next for quackonomous
Debugging, finding out the best configuration values (autonomous controlling), competing in the upcoming duck race!
