Keypad for M.A.R.S. Rover Robot

by 4tronix

This keypad fits to the rear of the M.A.R.S Rover (both micro:bit or Pi Zero versions) and provides a touch sensor input of 16 pads.

The symbols are designed for use with programming movements of the Rover and mast head, although you can use them as you like.

Both Makecode (for micro:bit) and Python library module (for Pi Zero) contain the basic keypad reading functions

micro:bit, Pi Zero and Rover are not included.

Good little camera, easy to put together and the photo quality is surprisingly good. The server occasionally crashes and we're not sure why, and it does get a bit hot even with the heatsink (placed inside in a cold bit of the house) which might be causing that, but overall a quick restart tends to fix that and I'd say it's worth the price. We're using it to track cats and had to turn the motion sensitivity up for that, but that's a simple button in the web portal.

Camera would only work for a few minutes before locking up. Eventually was referred to a configuration tweak which made it more reliable (turns out that some of the components supplied are incompatible with each other/the default configuration). Also transpires that the heatsink provided is inadequate as the ARM CPU runs very hot.

Came quickly and contained everything as expected. Easy to make and picture quality is better than I expected from a self-assembly product.

Easy to set up, gave to parents so they can see the birds and squirrels that visit their garden. It displays a live feed and stores images and Video triggered by movement to the supplied SD card. These can be managed on any other device on local network which is handy. Can be accessed out side home network too with some extra changes to code.

First time working with any raspberry pi, got it up and running easy, great kit, looking forward to some interesting wildlife pics.

I bought this to keep my retired Dad occupied into the New Year. He previously loved the Pirate Radio pack, so I know he'll equally enjoy assembling this to monitor the birds visiting his garden.

Bought it for my nieces to construct & use (with help from their dad!), as it was so reasonable I also bought one for myself! The contents of the kits was not as listed on the packaging, but in a good way, as they included a 32GB micro-SD card (rather than 16GB as stated) & a heatsink (which wasn't mentioned!
