Abstract:
The Raspberry Pi has become a very popular, inexpensive, credit card sized computer that runs the Linux operating system. The Pi is also, with a bit of help, an excellent controller for robotics projects. This talk will explore the use of the Raspberry Pi, along with an open source Cypress PSoC daughter board, for building a very functional robot. The final goal of this project will be to update the SRS robot with a Raspberry Pi, camera, and Wi-Fi network connection.
This talk builds on several of my previous talks and begins to tie them all together into a functional project. While I won't dive deeply into any of these topics again, the background will be helpful for this talk. Links to my prior talks are:
