Remotely controlled Ev3 Tracked Explorer video

Finally, as soon as some good spring weather arrived, I’ve been able to shot a short Ev3 Tracked Explorer video.

The Ev3 Tracked Explorer is a tracked rover built with Lego Mindstorms and Lego Technic parts. The firmware running on the Ev3 brick is the ev3dev firmware with Python bindings. The main rover features:

Tracked rover with simple but effective suspensions system.
Remotely controlled over Bluetooth network, or WiFi Network.
“Radar like” telemetry of obstacles detected by the Ev3 Infrared sensor.
You can drive with a PlayStation4 gamepad.

Have a look at the video below!

And if you like and would like to try it your self, follow these steps:

Build the Lego model with these building instructions or download the file to build it offline.
Download the rover program from GitHub.
Download the remote control application for you PC.
Have fun!

Please note that these instructions are just the rough procedure, so I will publish a more detailed procedure as soon as possible.
