Intro #4 Introducing the System Controller for the ZoomTown Experiment.
The System Controller will run on a Raspberry Pi 4 and will be programmed in Python and Pygame. Explained in this video are some of the features and capabilities for the System Controller.
The ZoomTown Experiment is about using a Raspberry Pi PICO to create a bunch of robotic cars for use in a modeled Automated Transportation System. This entire series will cover all the aspects of preparing for and conducting this experiment. With over 15 robotic cars traveling at random times to random locations, chaos is assured. This experiment will serve to help tame that chaos into order and efficiency - I HOPE! In the world of exploring and experiments, success is hoped for, failures are assured!
Some of the technologies explored in this experiment include, but is certainly not limited to:
[*] Raspberry Pi
[*] Python programming
[*] Pygame programming
[*] Raspberry Pi PICO W
[*] MicroPython programming
[*] Photo reflective sensors
[*] Time of flight sensors
[*] Hall effect sensors
[*] Rotary encoders
[*] Odometry
[*] Gear motors
[*] Line following
[*] Color recognition and detection sensor
[*] Servo Motors
[*] Automatic route planning
[*] Stepper motors
[*] Object detection and tracking
[*] Localization
[*] Robotics
[*] Robotic cars
[*] Dead Reckoning
[*] P, PI, & PID control
[*] MQTT Communications
