Extensions

Camera based line follower

This extension adds a Raspbery Pi with a Raspberry Pi camera on top of the robot. The Raspberry Pi is connected to the robot base through the UART serial connection.

The Camera based line follower detects a tape line in front of the robot and controls the robot to follow the line through the serial connection.

Go to Vision based Line Follower for detailed information on the project and instructions on how to setup a new Line Following RegBot.

ESP8266

This extension adds wireless communication to the robot through the Teensy's UART serial connection.

Go to ESP8266 for instructions on how to add the ESP8266 to the Teensy board.
