rock crawer anti tip

Inspiration

I had a pi pico and a rock crawler with me and reckoned it could probably handle the PWM for control so then I had to think of what I might need on the crawler. So what I did was tip prevension and direction inversion for the rear servo.

What it does

It takes over steering control from the controller and steers into a fall to keep itself upright

How we built it

a pi pico reads whether its over the the limit using murcury tilt switches

Challenges we ran into

pi was on the wrong firmware for the first 12 hours so nothing worked...

Accomplishments that we're proud of

it actually worked in the time allowed

What we learned

no idea

What's next for rock crawer anti tip

I may add manual over ride of the system via the channel 3 button of the controller in future.
