Donkey Car Mounting Frame

This model includes a frame to which a Raspberry Pi, servo controller and camera can be mounted to.

Includes mounting points for:

  • Raspberry Pi Model 3B+
  • Raspberry Camera Module V2
  • Adafruit 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver (PCA9685)
    (or components with similar hole placement)

Designed for HSP 94186 Brushed RC Car with dimensions 175 x 25 between cover hole centers

Brief:

  • Print volume: 190 x 84 x 25 (main frame) and 86 x 30 x 17 (camera arm).
  • Maximum bridge is 26mm long (approx. 1 in)
  • 1mm wall/three perimeters is sufficient
  • No supports required
  • 13 M2.5 x 8-10mm bolts, 13 nuts and 2 washers required (3mm ID x 8mm OD)

Advantages:

  • Easy access to SD card from top, power ports from sides
  • Camera arm pivot
  • Little material required and fast printing time
  • Extra batteries can be mounted on top of the main frame
  • The main frame can be mounted upside down if the camera arm is not required

Disadvantages:

  • Ensure your ribbon cable is long enough (standard Camera Module V2 is acceptable)
  • Non-conductive spacer (sponge) required to reduce stress on PCB
