Description
Build and code your own moving, sensing, thinking robots with just a Raspberry Pi microcomputer and a few easy-to-get components. This beginner-friendly guide takes you from making simple robot projects to more advanced ones, teaching fundamental electronics skills along the way. You'll start by building a two-wheeled robot powered by a Raspberry Pi minicomputer, then program it using Python to make it follow lines, avoid obstacles, and even recognize objects of a certain size and color. As you progress, you'll learn how to control your robot remotely using a Wii remote, teach it to use sensors to avoid obstacles, and customize it with LEDs and speakers. By the end of this book, you'll have learned the basics of coding in Python and know enough about working with hardware like LEDs, motors, and sensors to expand your creations beyond simple robots.
