Is there a way to run an Arduino in a way that allows you to connect it to wifi for an Internet connection, port forward to a web server, and run ros 2 and a web server to be hosted on that device that would allow it to view a set of esp32cam's and control the movement of four motors attached to tank treads from an external connection? Is there a project doing something like this I could use for reference? I have not used an Arduino before, just a raspberry pi. I was told the Arduino would be better for this and allow for less battery usage.
I also want to ask if it could support the necessary hardware I need.
Four motors using 7.4v run by h bridges using pwm on each to control for speed
10 ultrasonic distance sensors to avoid collision
4-8 buttons for collision detection
4 servos
Two pan and tilt mounts for esp32 cams using servos
I was hopping someone could advise as to what would be the best idea in this. I really want to learn about using ros2, and it seems this is the easiest way to do it I think.
Also, could someone direct me to an Arduino board that would be capable of this? Also capable of automatically navigating and mapping the environment preferably, I don't know how much processing power is needed for that. I'm not sure if it's possible to do so without encoder motors using just objects detection through collision sensors and distance sensors and images.
Thank you for the help.
I think you need to simplify your query.
Can it connect to wifi, yes.
Can it run a browser to surf the internet, yes
No clue about port forwarding.
Since I don;t know about the port forward the rest of your questions are unanswerable for me.
It would be nice to have a Winnebago as a microcontroller, maybe the ESP32 (or Arduino's version) will have the memory, speed and pins, but your "someone said" idea sounds ambitions to impossible (if you want one Nano to be the answer). I advise reading, learning and doing. You ask if an Arduino can have more than 50 attachments. You do not need to know the answer to this, but you should know how to find the answer without asking others to do the learning and give you the answer. This is not beneficial to you. The internet has all the answers... not highly edited YouTube videos or highly inaccurate Instructables... but documentation for the basics, followed up with increasingly intricate devices that help you with your project.
Another method is the "school of hard knocks" where you add a device, test it, and repeat until failure. You will find your idea is bigger than an Arduino of any size. You will need to scale your idea, or find ways to offload parts.
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
