Having the LIDAR now accessible and the GoPiGo3 API working from inside the ROS 2 Humble Docker container, it became time to try out the ROS 2 “Wanderer Explorer” program I wrote for Humble Dave on the new Raspberry Pi 5 powered GoPi5Go-Dave.
GoPi5Go-Dave didn’t narrate his adventure (TTS probably using wrong device number), but he did manage to wander for 15 minutes without hitting a wall. That is until he got confused, just like Humble Dave did.
New Robot. Old Software. Same Confusion.
Test Results:
- Wandering (think, sense, move): 8W (3h playtime estimate)
- YOGA (meditation):
- 7.2W 3.4h playtime (measured)
- 750MB memory used
- 8% Processor (5m uptime load 0.32)
Forgot to measure processor load and memory usage while wandering. Next time while trying new logic.
