Hackaday: Infrared Targeting On a Small Scale
Sometimes, a person has a reason to track a target. A popular way to do this these days is with a camera, a computer, and software to analyze the video. But, that lends itself more to automated systems, like sentries. What if you want to be able to target something by “painting” it with a…

How to build a Raspberry Pi Robot

How to build a Raspberry Pi Robot
Last year, I built a robot based on Raspberry Pi and gave a demo on the Pi Day in Computer History Museum. I thought that it might be helpful to someone if I share how I built it.
Features:
- L293D motor drives for two 6V DC motors
- Video streaming to laptop/cell phone from Raspberry Pi over wifi
- Python script controls the robot through VNC
- Headers for ultrasonic distance sensors
- Headers for gyroscope and acceleromenter
- Headers for 2.4GHz RF module
- Pin headers for GPS
- Extension for other I2C sensors
- Power jack for batteries (5-6V)

My attempt to home automation and wireless lightning. The goal is to get a similar function compared to the “Philips HUE” system but open source, using 6lowpan and allow for more than light’s to be connected. I’ve currently designed two boards; the gateway and a small LED-driver / 6lowpan device. On this page I’ve published […]
