Developing a remote-controlled robot with live feed and live distance to the nearest wall

Having understood the important electronic components in this section, you will develop a remote controlled robot with live camera feed and live distance to the nearest wall. Similar to the previous chapter, in this chapter, you will develop a couple of small projects and then combine all of them to make a larger project. You can develop three small projects and then merge it to make a larger project:

Calculating distance using an ultrasonic sensor
Displaying a live feed from the Raspberry Pi camera module
Developing a remote-controlled robot using the Raspberry Pi

Calculating distance using an ultrasonic sensor

Before you go ahead make sure you have all the components listed here:

Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi power supply
The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor
Hook up wires
330 Ohm resistor
470 Ohm resistor

Note

If you don't get a 330 Ohm and 470 Ohm resistor, you can use five 1K Ohm resistors. You can connect three...
