Getting started with robotics is always tricky. For Raspberry Pi robotics, I always point people at the Pi Wars Hints and Tips guide. For micro:bit, however, you might find this guide a great place to start to build the robot…
Back in 2014, robotics specialist 4tronix released the Pi2Go and the Pi2Go Lite, great robotics kits using PCBs as the robot chassis, surrounding a Raspberry Pi. Now, 5 years (and many products, including this year’s Pi Wars badge!) later, Gareth…
Hi everyone. You might have noticed a shortage of posts recently, and for this I apologise. I’ve been through a pretty rough time of late with mental health issues and between work, Sharnbrook Mill Theatre and Pi Wars, I’ve over-stretched…
Al Bencomo has created this wonderful 3D-printed robot that can overcome obstacles by changing the shape of its wheels. FRILLER (FRILL Explorer Robot) uses a Raspberry Pi 3 with Android Things OS to control motors connected via an Adafruit Motor HAT.…
SB Components have just launched their latest Kickstarter. They are raising funds for the PiMecha, a metal-plate, humanoid, servo-controlled robot that uses a Pi for programming. It has a massive 16 servos on-board and is controlled by an add-on board which sits…
Max Kern has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a camera module and some power circuitry and sensors and created a first-person viewpoint wheeled security drone, the ZeroBot Pro, an upgrade from the previous ZeroBot (without the Pro!). The software…
Gavan Fantom decided that new-fangled electronic LEDs weren’t enough for his office Christmas festivities. So, he came up with this beautiful 8×8 electro-mecahnical display. Each pixel is controlled by a 3D-printed mechanism that is screwed back and forth to change…
Following a successful Kickstarter, Mime Industries are now starting to deliver their interesting robotic arm kit, the MeArm Pi, an update to their previous MeArm. The new kit comes with a HAT to control the arm via two mini joysticks…
Roland Pelayo has written up his project in which he creates a hexapod walking robot with a Raspberry Pi for control. He’s used a piece of acrylic as the main chassis and then fashioned legs out of strips of aluminium.…
Francesco Georg has used a Raspberry Pi, a Camera Module, LEGO bricks, some EV3 motors and a BrickPi add-on board to create this Rubik’s Cube solving robot. He figured out how to use a two-phase algorithm developed by Herbert Kociemba via a…
