Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer

Great work, was really nice to get an update. I really like the idea of using the Arduino and thanks for sharing the code. What will the approximate size of your machine be when finished?

Hi Zabco

the total length will be about 850 mm and the blade is 460mm wide (think its a coal blade). depending on a test on how it pushes dirt I may have to opt for a smaller blade width. ill see how it goes as with most of this, its trial and lots of errors

I threw all the metal for the blade and ripper on scale with the chassis and its already at 55kg ! its hard enough moving it about already !

can recommend the Arduino enough but If you use the code you will have to tweak the input ranges for your specific RC transmitter/ deadbands. I am sure they all vary a little bit.

Yes, I love the arduinos, been playing around with them off and on for several years now. Just never tried to do anything like what your have done. Am currently working with a couple of NANO 33 BLE boards on a small project that if it works out, I will post to the forum. Keep up the great work.
