Learn Robotics Programming

By: Danny Staple

Overview of this book

We live in an age where the most difficult human tasks are now automated. Smart and intelligent robots, which will perform different tasks precisely and efficiently, are the requirement of the hour. A combination of Raspberry Pi and Python works perfectly when making these kinds of robots. Learn Robotics Programming starts by introducing you to the basic structure of a robot, along with how to plan, build, and program it. As you make your way through the book, you will gradually progress to adding different outputs and sensors, learning new building skills, and writing code for interesting behaviors with sensors. You’ll also be able to update your robot, and set up web, phone, and Wi-Fi connectivity in order to control it. By the end of the book, you will have built a clever robot that can perform basic artificial intelligence (AI) operations.

Chapter 5, Backing Up the Code with Git and SD Card Copies

  • For what reasons would you use source control?
    • To keep your code for later
    • To go back in history
    • To try ideas
  • What would you use branching for?
    • To try out ideas
    • To go back to a working branch
  • Why keep SD card copies?
    • So you can restore the whole system, including configuration
  • What reasons are there for editing files on another computer and uploading them to the Raspberry Pi?
    • You can choose your own editor
    • You now have a copy of code in more than one place
