Adeept ADR036 4WD Smart Car
On-board by Adeept
Raspberry Pi rover with the Adeept Robot HAT: four DC motors (ordinary wheels) and the pan/tilt servos on a PCA9685, an ADS7830 battery readout, WS2812 lights, a buzzer, ultrasound and line tracking. The mecanum chassis is adeept.adr036.mecanum.
How it connects
On-board. The OpenVibe Node runs on the robot's own computer and drives its hardware.
- Build the kit and flash Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit, Lite is enough) on its card.
- Add the robot here and paste the one pairing command on the Pi.
- The OpenVibe Node drives the Robot HAT itself, publishes the Pi camera, and stops the motors the moment commands stop. The kit's stock control server is never run.

Safety
Every command passes Bot's gate: roles, the owner's limits and cooldowns, and a latched e-stop only the owner clears. The device stops the motors by itself when commands stop arriving, without asking the network.
