Course materials for CCA high-school robotics class, academic year 2021-22.
The Xioar Tank robot platform is great! The chassis is large, so plenty of room to connect the Raspberry Pi and fun sensors. Step through these modules to get it all working.
>> Use the sensors to follow a line
>> Wire the sensors to detect an obstacle
You need to learn how to use your Raspberry Pi as a computer. First learn how to use it when connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It’ll be awesome! This module will be taught in-class – no printed materials necessary.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, then learn how to use your Kano computer to connect wirelessly to your Raspberry Pi. You’ll need this skill also in order to control your vehicle when the Raspberry Pi is on it.
The Adeept Robot Arm can be assembled by following these resources:
Make sure you assemble the gripper correctly. It’s easy to put the gripper on upside down and make other silly mistakes that could make the arm not work properly. Also, double check your wiring according to Section 5.3 and Section 10 of the online course guide.
>> Install python code that Adeept has written.
Major steps to follow in the course guide.
These are all designed to be 5-10 minutes quickies.
