RE: Robot project update: Arduino vs Raspberry pi
Check out adafruit.com they sell many addon boards for arduino and Raspberry Pi. They also have an awesome learning section on their webpage with online guides that explain how to do a lot of the things you might need to do. They have just started getting into robotics basics.
Also check out Python for the programming part.
thanks for the link! That store is awesome. Ive been going through it on my commute and im going to make an order through them today.
Do you work on raspberry much? I signed up for a class on skillshare and so far its pretty good, but I need to get my hand on one to really get going.
Well...... I have 9 of them. I have purchased from Adafruit many times.
I am trying to learn Python and have written some basic code for reading temperatures from a DS18B20 sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi. I also have written some basic code for reading status from a couple of pieces of solar gear and logging the data to a database.
Check out some of my posts. I am busy packing for a 3500KM move so do not have much time right now for Raspberry Pi and/or programming.
I'm now learning python, which reality, is fairly easy, especially if you know c++. There's unforuntrately too little time in a day to do everything you want/need to these days.
Fair enough, that's a long move. Where are you going to/from?
Moving from Calgary, Alberta to London, Ontario. Moving to be closer to the wife's family.
