I'm working on a small robot car that can drive from room to room and stop at a predefined terminal. I'm trying to build a real life drone video game.
I started out with an Arduino connected to a 3 wheeled car chassis.
I added an ultrasonic sensor so it can detect walls but it still can't detect the terminal object.
I thought I may want to stream video back to a windows PC by WiFi so I added an ESP32 camera which lagged really bad so I abandoned that. I'm still looking for a good IP camera.
I looked at the Husky camera as well as the Pixy2 for way points and I may be on the right track but they don't transmit the video back to the PC.
I don't want to have to draw a line on the floor but I did think about colored yarn.
GPS is not reliable indoors so I think a way point approach is a much better idea.
I know what I'm building is nothing new so I thought I'd see if anyone else has gone down this path please.
Thanks ahead of time.
