Possible upgrades
Yeah Racing Drift Kit (TATT-014)
Ordered for the 2025 PFE, but requires other parts to be used. Here is the list of parts needed to install it:
-TATT-009 -TATT-011 -TATT-013
Would certainly help, but could cause issues with stability. I think it needs to be explored.
Raspberry Pi 5
Already installed on the SLAM car, it’s a hassle to setup due to the to go through a docker container to install ros-noetic. Also wasn’t able to make it generate a PWM signal, as reported online, so it’s not trivial. If you were to use ROS2, though, you could make it work pretty well. It runs hotter than the RPi 4 though, so it requires a fan.
Pimoroni Fan SHIM
Already installed on the SLAM car via a 3D printed mount. Sleek, cheap, quiet, probably slightly more effective than placebo. Should be combined with a small heatsink to increase efficiency.
