what kind of actuator would i need to have a censor :
Parallax PING Ultrasonic Sensor Product Code : RB-Plx-73
move 0 to 180 arc in say 10deg slices so the censor can ping and give a reading so that i can map that 180 degree arc …I am looking for a clear path for the robot.
I am hoping to use a raspberry PI
A RC normal servo motor is best: robotshop.com/en/servo-motors.html
You’ll likely need a motor controller connected to the Raspberry Pi (via USB perhaps), so ensure that can control a servo motor as well.
You control the servo’s position, so when the sensor sends back a value which indicates an obstacles, you’ll know the angle.
