Developing a remote-controlled robot with live feed and live distance to the nearest wall


Having understood the important electronic components in this section, you will develop a remote controlled robot with live camera feed and live distance to the nearest wall. Similar to the previous chapter, in this chapter, you will develop a couple of small projects and then combine all of them to make a larger project. You can develop three small projects and then merge it to make a larger project:

  • Calculating distance using an ultrasonic sensor

  • Displaying a live feed from the Raspberry Pi camera module

  • Developing a remote-controlled robot using the Raspberry Pi

Calculating distance using an ultrasonic sensor

Before you go ahead make sure you have all the components listed here:

  • Raspberry Pi

  • Raspberry Pi power supply

  • The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor

  • Hook up wires

  • 330 Ohm resistor

  • 470 Ohm resistor

Note

If you don't get a 330 Ohm and 470 Ohm resistor, you can use five 1K Ohm resistors. You can connect three 1K Ohm...
