I manufacture a small part in a garage on my property and have for many years.
I have made as many mechanical tools as is practical.
I now need to begin building digitally controlled robots.
My thought was the following...
I could build a very complex robotic system from two types of controlled motors.
Linear actuator with encoder ring or other sensor I do not know about
and a gear step motor also with position sensors.
I have python installed on my pc in a virtual OS and have been doing tutorials.
So far I am having no problems understanding code or the way in which a step motor is controlled.
Question:
Is raspberry pi starter kit with gert board the way to get my self acquainted with digital motor control and building working robots.?
Any one who is in the know I sure would appericate a little guidance.
