raspberry pi

rhydian98

Could i use raspberry pi to make the robot move and program the different movements?

  • I haven't had the opportunity to actually work with a Raspberry Pi as of yet, but I have done quite a bit of research into it. It would be nice to use in robotics, but I wove to agree with Raimondas Klemka, a microcontroller would probably work better for the application. Possibly the most popular, and easiest to use (at least in my experience), is the Arduino. If you havent already, I would suggest looking into an Arduino Mega, which offers plenty of pins, for plenty of connections. Another bonus with the Arduino is how easily it can be embedded into your project.

    Maybe you could use the Pi to program an Arduino?

    Yes for controlling something microcontrolles liek arduino mega are better somimes, because the have a lot of pins and some of the processin can be made by microcontroler, and other stuff can be processed by Pi. but Pi can be used for simple computer vision, for controlling arduino over usb and other stuff. but if you need just few I/O then Pi is good to image But consider on thinking of usin 2 or more procesosrs, because sometimes it is better to have few less loaded processors or microcontrollers, then to putt it all in one and run it on the limit.

    Now I'm thinking on using pi for wifi data transmission. And if it is posable to stream video over 3g network. image

    You might want to consider using one of these. ( http://wyolum.com/projects/alamode/ )

     

    The RaspberryPi can provide the processing and then hand of the control bit to the Arduino.

    You can utilise the wide variety of shields to do the motor control.
