Deep diving into the electromechanics

As explained in GoPiGo's official documentation (https://www.dexterindustries.com/GoPiGo/learning/technical-specifications-for-the-gopigo-raspberry-pi-robotics-kit/), the specifications of the GoPiGo3 robot are as follows:

  • Operating voltage: 7V-12V
  • External interfaces:
    • I2C ports: Two Grove ports connected to the Raspberry Pi I2C bus through a level-conversion chip
    • Serial ports: One Grove port connected to the serial pins on the Raspberry Pi through a level-conversion chip
    • Analog digital ports: Two Grove ports connected to the GoPiGo3 microcontroller
  • Encoders: Two magnetic encoders with six pulse counts per rotation (with 120:1 gear reduction for a total of 720 pulses per wheel rotation)
  • Wheels diameter: 66.5 mm
  • Distance between wheels: 117 mm
  • More: Design information is available at the official GitHub repository (https://github.com...
