Inspection robot with pan tilt camera and live video

An easy-to-assemble robot car built around the versatile ESP32 Cam module. The car is equipped with two TT motors (yellow edition) complemented by dedicated wheels. To drive the motors efficiently, we employ the L298D DC motor driver, ensuring precise control over the vehicle's movements and speed.

Powering the car are two high-capacity 18650 Li-Ion batteries, thoughtfully arranged in parallel to enhance runtime. To manage battery charging, we've integrated the reliable TP4056 Li-Ion 1S micro-USB charger, ensuring the batteries stay juiced up and ready for action.

Ensuring stable power distribution, we've thoughtfully incorporated two Step-up (boost) modules into the design. The first Step-up module elevates the battery voltage (approximately 4.2V) to a robust 12V, supplying ample power to the L298 motor driver and the motors, capable of handling currents of at least 4A.

The second Step-up module boosts the battery voltage to a steady 5V, catering to the power needs of the ESP32 Cam module. This dedicated 1A-rated module ensures that the ESP32 Cam operates seamlessly and reliably during its missions.

In dark environments, the robot car's camera intelligently utilizes the onboard LED of the ESP32 Cam module, providing ample illumination for clear imaging even in low-light conditions. Additionally, the camera boasts pan and tilt capabilities, allowing users to adjust its position remotely for optimal viewing angles.

The entire system is ingeniously controlled through a seamless Wi-Fi connection, enabling effortless management from any Wi-Fi-enabled device such as a phone, tablet, or computer. Accessing the control interface is a breeze, as the ESP32 generates a user-friendly webpage that eliminates the need for any complex setup or additional configurations.

This user-friendly and well-integrated setup empowers users to remotely steer the robot car and feed live image stream with utmost convenience. Whether exploring challenging terrains or conducting surveillance tasks, this robot car serves as an ingenious solution that combines cutting-edge technology with ease of use.

Overall, this thoughtfully engineered robot car combines performance, durability, and ease of assembly, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications and projects.
