In this chapter we will see how to build our own robot using BeagleBone Black with Motors and Motor Driver IC interfaced with it. First we will learn about DC motors, followed by the L293D motor driver IC that will help us drive the DC motors. Then we will see how we can stream live video on a web page from the camera connected to the BeagleBone board. At the end we will build our own telecontrolled robot that you can control from a web page with a live video feed streaming from the camera connected to the BeagleBone Black.
The contents of this chapter are divided into:
