Hardware
The hardware I used for this project is:
- Old motorized toy
- RaspberryPi 3 model b
- Lithium Battery Pack Expansion Board
- UltraSonic module hc-sr04
- L298 Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver (DC and Stepper Motors)
- Raspicam
- breadboard
- a bunch of wires
Software
The software runs on a Raspbian 8 (jessie). The code is developed in nodejs, a promising, popular and fast serverside version of javascript. It just contains two sub-project:
- a manual driving via keyboard
- an autopilot test code using the sonar
Installation
git clone https://github.com/dynamick/phil05
cd phil05
sudo npm install
Make sure to have motion up and running so you could see what raspicam is viewing in real-time.
Running
You could choose the manual driving mode launching:
sudo npm run manual
… or you could try the autopilot using:
sudo npm run autopilot
… or you could lauch both on two console to ibrid command your robot.
