Loading "Little Grey"

Final stage of testing my new Crowdfunding feature om MakerWorld!

Little Grey Project

The design is finished, tested and now in pre-launch on MakerWorld. The goal is to expand it with functional implements, trailers and more tractors — while connecting it with my existing CyberBrick Truck Series.

Would love to hear what you think! 🚜🔧

Would this micro Controller-Driver work? OO gauge TTTE Breakdown Crane

https://preview.redd.it/l4tekh4ok7uh1.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b86b8168dbdb8ce23bbd2e0e06f2c4fc69bd239

Im trying to make an RC controlled oo-gauge breakdown crane where all the electronics, battery and at least 1 motor have to live in the same 40x35x35mm cab. I've done all the research I can alone, but do people think this would work? I need 3 motors driven, so finicky work getting 2 H drivers on there for a fat fingered solderer, but with a spare board or two I think I could manage

SEED Xiao-C3
DRV8833 (x2)
EEMB 3.7V 1800mAh 963450 Lipo
6mm Planetary motors (x3)

Points of note:
- Battery pads will be soldered to lipo and routed through DRV8833 HDrivers. Will the H drivers drain the battery when not in use (AKA Where would I put the power switch, surely I I break the ground/live it wont charge when 'powered off' or is that just the sacrifice Im making to make it this small)

- Planning to drive this off a phone to reduce price/building of a reciever, whats the best software to load of custom code on a iPhone/android (cross compatibility would be grand in case someone else wants to play with it)

- Is there just a premade package that just already does this, I tried buying a tiny RC digger that nearly had the three motor outputs, but two of the motors are driven together and seem, hardcoded into the board

Thank you for looking!
