Pi Robot

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

This is a very simple robot based on a Raspberry Pi with a L293D motor controlles connected to two motors and wheels.

Running on the Pi I have a python script which checks the current message on livebots and moves the motors accordingly.

 

You can control it LIVE at:

You definitely cornered this

You definitely cornered this one :stuck_out_tongue:

(I suspect my el-cheapo webcam to be down at the post office crossing fingers so that it works with the pi :stuck_out_tongue: – then I’ll just need the wifi dongle to arrive too :P)

Congrats for Pi  \o/

Great Job

What a great job, really nice to see the Raspberry Pi being put into use  here.  I am quite fond of the PICAXE microcontrollers but am hoping to use the Raspberry Pi in some future project myself.  Great work, thanks for showing it to us.
