Project Update - Jetson Nano case

A project log for Robot Tank /w Jetson Nano

Starting work on a tank track robot. Purchased a Jetson Nano for the main controller brain. Arduino Mega + Ramps for motor control

Okay it's been awhile since I've put anything on here. 2020 has been a strange year.

Just wanted to add a quick update. I tried to design and print a 3D case for the jetson and it did not fit. instead of trial and error day after day i found a Jetson Nano 3D case with vesa mounts. This gives me what i need a case with mounts to screw into the tank case. See images.

Also i mounted both batters to the bottom of the chassis.

Added wifi/Bluetooth module to jetson nano

Plans to build two levels on top of the base of the chassis. so top down, PTZ camera plate, Sensor plate (ultrasonic, maybe lidar), power and control plate (the chassis plate)

I've seen other robots designed this way with levels for circuits and didn't want to follow it as it seems messy, but the more i think about it i guess it makes sense to do. So i need to cut out two more plates of metal so i can have room for everything.

Case found on thingiverse here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4082134 Thanks to whoever you are. They just fit together on my Ender 3 and at 0.3 print height it only took 4-5 hours
