Very cool

Nice robot! Got any videos of it in action in autonomous mode? How are you reading the SR04 sensors? Are they connected to the Pi, or is there a Hat involved? Is your Pi code written in Python? Care to share the code here? I’ve created a couple of similar robots, but they’re not quite as evolved as yours yet.

About the SR04, I see now

About the SR04, I see now that you’re using an UltraBorg for them.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Thanks for your comment.

Yes the code is written in python. Soon you will find the code at github.com
