Description
Space agencies shouldn't be the only ones who get to play with robotic rovers piled high with sensors. In tackling just one project-a four-wheeled robotic rover inspired by NASA's designs-this book teaches you the basics of the Raspberry Pi, demystifies programming on Linux, outlines motor basics, and explains the different kinds of sensors needed to make a cool robot do cool things. Best of all, when you've completed the book, you'll have built a robot rover ready to do your bidding. The Raspberry Pi is one of the world's most popular tiny computers. Inexpensive and small, it's perfect for projects that interact with the world, which is exactly what your robot rover is going to do! You don't need to be an electronics expert to follow along with the fully illustrated step-by-step instructions in this book. You don't even need to know how to solder! In addition to the basic instructions, the book is also rich with resources you can use to enhance your robot's capabilities. In Make a Rasberry Pi-Controlled Robot, you'll learn how to: Build a robot chassis and control motors and motor drivers from a Raspberry PL, Monitor the real world with temperature, barometric pressure, and distance sensors. Know where yaw hot Is going using GPS, an accelerometer, and a magnetometer. Control your robot-and see what it sees-remotely over a WiFs connection. Connect to sensors with 12C, General Purpose I/O, and an Analog-to-Digitai Converter. You'll learn how to build a rover from start to finish-a satisfying project that teaches you alt the basics you'll need to move on to more advanced construction with confidence and a firm understanding of basic robotics.
