Webby-Robot

A VEX V5 Brain and a website meet together with the janky mess of my interface between them.

How does Webby Work exactly?

Webby works by having a web interface with two seperate control modes, D-Pad and Gyro, send websocket requests to a Node.js server running on a Raspberry Pi, which is attached to Webby's frame. To allow HTTPS communication for gyro support, use of a ngrok tunnel is required. Then, by making use of 3-Wire ports and PWM voltage creation on the Raspberry Pi, the turn and drive speed is transmitted to a VEX V5 brain, which has code to take the information as info from a VEX potentiometer, allowing us to read numbers from the ports. These are then used to control the drive and turn speed of Webby.

What is the current status of Webby?

Webby's code is functionally complete, with only final bug fixes for mobile being implemented. However, Webby's VEX frame is not assembled, as I currently do not have access to the parts. Webby's theorized frame is a modified H-Drive system to allow turning similar to a car's turning.
