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.
