Turning Jetbot into Turtlebot Burger

 

Ever wanted to add Lidar to a WaveShare Jetbot? Yeah me too...

The Waveshare JetBot platform is limited when it comes to extensions. What you see above is a successful attempt to 3D print a frame to allow mounting of Turtlebot Waffle plates to then attach Lidar and an IMU.

This makes is similar to a Turtlebot3 Burger.

This results in a functional, low cost ROS/ROS2 robot with:

*18650 Lithium batteries (3) for a long run time

* Wide angle 8MP camera

* 360 Lidar (4000 samples per second)

* Nvidia Nano 4GB with a fast Samsung 128Gb SD card (30-60 Mb sustained data transfer)

* 9Dof IMU

* Differential Drive

All source files, .stl file ready to print are available via GitHub
