Chapter 7. Going Further with Galileo

With your Galileo, you've learned how to build projects that can roll, now let's build one that can walk. In this final chapter, you'll move from using the simple Galileo IDE to using the Linux capabilities of the Galileo to drive an external USB servo controller so that you can control the 12 servos that will make your quadruped move.

In this chapter, you will learn how to use the Galileo's Linux capabilities to control a basic quadruped platform. To do this you will learn the following:

  • Galileo's Linux capabilities

  • How servos work

  • How to use the Galileo's Linux capabilities to control a servo controller that can control lots of servos

  • Creating complex movements out of simple servo commands
