This Processing application is ment to simulate a differential wheeled robot, very used nowadays.

I missed the github class so here it is the good’old zip

 

There are still a couple of enhancements on the list:

  • real metrics and scale
  • connect to motor encoders
  • record a path on the virtual world and let the real robot follow it
  • become real simulator of the arduino code used in our robotics workshops´

 

The video is reproduced a lot faster than the program really performs  :p

 

Some control keys are available:

The overall program is quite simple to use, just pass the mouse over the joystick area to control the bot.
