Robotic Projects With The Raspberry Pi 3 And Raspberry Pi Zero
Posted by on
This book allows you to take full advantage of Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 3 by building both simple and complex robotic projects. The book takes a mission-critical approach to show you how to build amazing robots and helps you decide which board to use for which type of robot.
The book puts a particular emphasis on creating mobile (or movable) robots using the Raspberry Pi Zero. The projects present inexpensive, yet powerful, ways to take full advantage. It teaches you how to program Raspberry Pi, control the movement of your robot, and add features to your robots.
What you will learn
- Control a variety of different DC motors
- Add a USB webcam to see what your robot can see
- Attach a projector to project information
- Insert USB control hardware to control a complex robot with two legs
- Include speech recognition so that your projects can receive commands
- Add speech output to that the robot can communicate with the world around it
- Include wireless communication so that you can see what the robot is seeing and control the robot from a distance
PiCAN with GPS - Gyro - Accelerometer CAN-Bus Board for Raspberry Pi 3
The PiCAN GPS board provides CAN Bus and GPS capability for the Raspberry Pi. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller. CAN connections are made via 4 way screw terminal plugs. The GPS is provided by a 66-channels MTK3339 chipset module. An onboard battery holder exists for a CR1225 cell.
The backup power is for the real time clock and helps reduce startup times. The GPS module has a built-in patch antenna but an external active antenna can also be used via uFL connector.
The MPU-6050 provides six axis gyro and accelerometer with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMPTM) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms. It does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts.
