The Ben Heck Show

Smartphone Controlled #DIY Rover Using #Websockets (10x8)

:

Who doesn't love robots? In this episode, I build a hardware kit and program the software to drive a small, wheeled, non-autonomous robot. The hardware is based around a Raspberry Pi 4 and a Motor HAT used to drive a couple of DC motors. The software is based on Python, using the Flask module to run a web server, the socket io module for sending and receiving commands, and HTML and JavaScript to build a simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) for driving the rover: http://bit.ly/2Wod0EB
