I am a Computer Science Student at Delaware State University. I started this blog to document progress on my projects using Raspberry pi 2. Feel free to follow along and comment on any projects. Your ideas are welcome! Thanks.
The above clip shows the Cisco95 moving by following the commands and also giving the live feed on my laptop.
I connected my Rpi to my laptop using the remote desktop connection on my laptop. I used my Iphone's hotspot while connecting my pi and i am gonna keep using my hotspot when ever i use my pi connected to my laptop so that the IP address of my pi doesn't change ever time i login in different WiFi settings.
Steps to connect my Rpi to laptop:
1. Turn on your pi, your laptop and your personal Hotspot in your Iphone.
2. Connect your pi and laptop to your Hotspot by selecting your iphone from the WiFi settings on your laptop and your pi.
3. Enter the password when asked.
4. when all the desired devices are connected to personal Hotspot, type the following command in your pi terminal for the IP address:
Your IP address should be in the spot where there is a number highlighted with yellow highlighter.
5. Go to your Laptop, open the remote desktop connection and connect your pi to your laptop by typing your pi's IP address where it asks for computer and click connect.
6. Turn off the pi and turn it back on and see if the IP address is still the same. It should be the same anytime you connect your pi to your personal Hotspot.
I made the robot turn a 360 for starters: one motor moving forward and the other one moving backward.
I used a python code to make the robot go forward, reverse, left and right using specific keys on the keyboard. I also combined the distance finder code with the motors code to make the robot sense the distance every time i press a key for it to move.
