I’ve started building the command interface and computer vision software for PiBot. The core architecture of PiBot is an Arduino Mega acting as sort of a brainstem, speaking a serial command language. It can listen on either a UART link connected to a Raspberry Pi, or an XBee module.
In this video, I’m controlling the sensor mast using a Playstation 3 controller, with a PyGame program that reads the controller and generates the command language.
