Sessions 2, 3 & 4

Search & Rescue Mission

Navigate in a maze with lights blinking and sound blasting without hitting anything until locate a lost object (reach the end). Once located, take a picture.

LED Lights

LED Blinkers Code

LED Eyes Code

Camera

  1. Install the camera on a raspberri pi.
  2. Try out the program called TakingPhotos.ipynb located on gopigo under “Examples”

Speakers

  1. Plug in the speaker
  2. Find a open-source tune
  3. Try it in the code 
import pygame

# Play music
pygame.mixer.init()    
pygame.mixer.music.load("music.mp3")
pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(1)
pygame.mixer.music.play()

Distance Sensor

  1. Plugin the distance sensor
  2. Try it out in the code
import easygopigo3 as easy

gpg = easy.EasyGoPiGo3()
my_distance_sensor = gpg.init_distance_sensor() # init the distance sensor
steps = 100 # times
t = 0
while t < steps:
    dist = my_distance_sensor.read_inches()
    if dist > 20:
        gpg.drive_inches(5)
    else:
        gpg.turn_degrees(90)
    t = t + 1

Session 1

Getting started with gopigo:

  1. Turn on battery and turn on the robot
  2. Go to mygopigo.com
  3. Write Python code for robot movement
  4. Shut down the robot
