Everyspot Garden Rover 2026

A 4-wheel-drive garden patrol rover: a Raspberry Pi 5 watches through an OAK-D Lite stereo depth camera on a pan/tilt gimbal, navigates with GPS + IMU, and waters through a solenoid sprinkler that aims where the camera looks. Runs off a 4S 18650 pack on a coherent four-rail power system.

Heads up: samples are here to be fun and spark ideas. They may be incomplete or unverified — use as a starting point, not a finished product.

Built for real

Photos and video from the actual prototype during development — not the render.

First-round prototype: a Raspberry Pi driving a kids' car chassis with a rotating sprinkler head bolted on top.
Second-round prototype: fully 3D-printed chassis with treaded wheels and the sprinkler head integrated.

A garden patrol rover. Four gear-motor wheels drive it around the beds, a Raspberry Pi 5 runs stereo vision through a Luxonis OAK-D Lite on a pan/tilt gimbal, and GPS plus an IMU tell it where it is. The same gimbal carries a spray nozzle, so it waters exactly where the camera is aimed. An ESP32-C6 handles the real-time motor and servo control.

Real components on a coherent power system

Every part is modeled from genuine vendor CAD — the Pi 5, the OAK-D Lite (Luxonis's own STEP), the DRV8833 drivers (Pololu's) — or built to datasheet where no CAD exists. The power is a proper four-rail design off a single 4S 18650 pack: the concept's original wiring would have put 14.8 V straight onto motor drivers rated for 10.8 V, so the drivers now run from a bucked 9 V rail, the Pi from an 8 A 5 V regulator, the servos from 6 V, and the sprinkler from 12 V.

A drive train that actually mates

There's no 65 mm wheel bored for the gear motor's 4 mm D-shaft, so the pack includes a printed hub adapter that bridges the two — a small part that's easy to overlook and the difference between a rover that rolls and one that doesn't.

What's in the pack

Print-ready STL for all 20 printed parts (chassis, two-level deck, gimbal, wheel adapters), editable STEP for each, a wired BOM, a full wiring guide covering the four power rails, six renders, and a self-contained interactive 3D viewer.
