Nomad

A nomad is a person with no settled home, moving from place to place as a way of obtaining food, finding pasture for livestock, or otherwise making a living. The word Nomad comes from a Greek word that means one who wanders for pasture.

Synopsis

4WD remote control robot controlled via WIFI, with an obstacle avoiding mode. This robot utilizes a Raspberry Pi 3 and also includes raspberry pi camera live stream capabilities.

Code Example

def changePath():
    print("stopping")
    servo_right()
    time.sleep(.5)
    rightDistance = ping() #set right distance
    print(rightDistance)
    time.sleep(.5)
    servo_left()
    time.sleep(.7)
    leftDistance = ping()  # set right distance
    print(leftDistance)
    time.sleep(.5)
    servo_center()
    time.sleep(.1)
    compareDistance(leftDistance,rightDistance)
