How to Build Him

SETTING UP THE RASPBERRY PI

1. download and prep the pi with raspbian https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

2. run the pi and do raspi-config for: enable ssh disable uart force audiooutput through 3.5mm enable VNC server expand filesystem Internationalisation - change to en_US enable camera

3. update python and install libraries:

camera: sudo apt-get install python-opencv

4. download the code from github

5. setup local hotspot using this guide https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point?view=all test with a mobile phone: connect to the Access Point the ip in the software is 192.168.0.100

6. stuff to fix enable serial0 http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/45570/how-do-i-make-serial-work-on-the-raspberry-pi3

SETTING UP ROBOT BODY/MOTORS

1. connect the arduino to the servos according to this schematic [schematic]

2. program it using the provided sketch

3. test servos with processing application https://github.com/barcesat/KinectRobotArm/tree/master/Processing/Servo_control

4. connect the motors, wheels, motor driver and battery to the pi like so [schematic]

5. test the wheels and motors with arduino L298 test program

6. Assemble robot frame from spare parts (or kit)

7. Attach everything together
