= Project i wanna die plis
== Project Description
This was but a sad attempt at making a "budget" [Slam]
(Simultaneous localization and mapping) robot-vehicle, with a time of flight
Lazer sensor.It uses the esp32 as it's brains (tons of io pins, 2 core, wifi &
bluetooth on chip,low consumption,etc.) and a arduino nano that acts as a slave
controling the drive tracks by taking commands from the esp32.
== Working principal
The working principal behind the robot is based on dead reckoning meaning we
create the map as we go assuming we've started from position 0,0.Using the tof
sensor we get measurments from all directions (360 degrees) this happens using
the stepper motor along with the hall effect sensors so we the degree of each
measurment great so now we can bind these values (distnace,angle) to the
robot's postion.The problem with our particular platform was space limitations
and the fact that the tracks are moved by dc motors some solutions on these
problems would be if possible driving the tracks by stepper motors directly or
otherwise so we know exactly how many steps each track has made therefore
deducing the robots position or using photo encoders in the small dc motors
producing the same effect.(problems with bad are also very real and can throw
off our measurments but hey we're not supposed to send this robot on mars )
Being able to determine our traveled distance and having 360 "accurate"
measurments of the space traversed would enable us to construct an algorithm
which by using these data could find a way to traverse the space creating a
map along the way.

== Difficulties & things to consider
- Acquiring location position in a room
- Getting accurate data from budget sensors with low resolution
- Calculating travel distance based on Dc motors
- Maintaning electrical connections between the two rotating parts
== Problems that managed to get solved
=== - Getting angle of measurment
Solution: Using a Hall sensor and a magnet to find 0 degree spot & using a
stepper motor with known gear ratio so we know the step angle
=== - Power consumption
Solution: Used 2xcells 18650 batteries because simple alkaline batteries
wheren't up to the task
