About the project

Navie is a project that was designed to help improve my skills with C programming on raspberry pi, as well as gain a better understanding of SLAM and robot navigation in general. The project is currently considered blocked. I ran into a problem implementing the dead-reckoning where the encoder on the motors I purchased were not working to spec. I plan to pick this project back up once the BLDC project has been completed.
