About the project
The project involves rotating a motor to simulate a radar arm, which continuously scans for objects within a specified range. The distance sensor detects objects, and their positions with shadows are visually represented in a Pygame window. The distance should scalable so we can monitor different values.
Video
Build a robot
- Place your Raspberry Pi on top of the radar so it's not affected by the rotations of the radar.
Building instructions:
Get the robot ready
- Place your obstacles on the ground and run the script. See how scaling the distance works.
Raspberry Python Code:
Ideas for improvement
- Start detecting at the start of an object and draw the obstacle after the object ended as one obstacle instead of multiple.
Evaluate your performance
- Think about how you approached the problem and about how else could it be solved.
- Evaluate yourself on how you adapted when something didn't work as you hoped it would.
