Disty

Disty is a hackEns project by Phyks and Elie aiming at building a low-cost telepresence robot for videoconference.

More infos can be found on the project page (in French). The README and the source code is another good source of documentation, which should be self-explanatory, in English.

This repo contains all the drawings and code we used to make it work.

Content of this repo

• blueprints contains all the blueprints and drawings for this project.
• disty contains the main C++ code, responsible for handling Disty movements and basic operations.
• webview contains the code for the webview, which is the web interface used to control Disty and display camera (for the remote user).

Note that these folders also contain useful READMEs with more detailed information on them.

Blueprints are either in eps (ready to cut files) or svg (working files). These should be the same and both are provided only to ease usage and modifications. STL files are ready to print files. They should be included in the Blender blend files, for easy modifications.

You should laser cut the top and bottom files for the two main plates. You should 3D print:

• the picam_case_* files for the camera case (licensed under CC BY SA).
• teleprez.blend is the complete CAO model of the robot in Blender.
• camera_servo_holder.stl is the plastic part to hold the camera servo. You need to print it once (with a 10,000 scale factor).
• wheel_servo_holder.stl is the plastic part to hold the servos for the wheels. You need four of them (with a 10,000 scale factor).
