The Raspberry Pi community has a rich history of integrating the classic SBC into a plethora of robotic projects and this new RP2040 motor driver board developed by maker Taylor Alexander is paving the way for even more awe-inspiring Pi-powered robots. The board was unveiled earlier this week over at Twitter with an up-close look…
The half dozen teenagers surround the small robot named Sparrow, their hands immersed in an array of metal, wires and computer components as they wield wire strippers, screwdrivers and zip ties with looks of utter concentration. They have about 24 hours to make sure Sparrow can gather supersize tennis balls off the floor and shoot…
Robotics is a big part of the Raspberry Pi and microcontroller communities. The merging of code and electronics to make an object move is a great motivator for STEM education. Because motors draw far too much current for a typical GPIO pin to handle, we need to use a motor controller or driver board to…
The Raspberry Pi Pico powered Maker Pi Pico is our Editor’s Choice for Raspberry Pi Pico projects. For $9.90 we had a Raspberry Pi Pico and a lot of extra features. Today Cytron have announced the Maker Pi RP2040 board to the range, a smaller board that eschews the Raspberry Pi Pico form factor of…
