Summary
In this chapter, we assembled our IoT joystick and used it to control a TurtleSim virtual robot. We started with component wiring and then proceeded to write code for transmitting joystick movements via MQTT messages.
Our application culminated in encasing the components in a custom 3D-printed case, enhancing the joystick’s usability and durability. Through this application, we displayed the seamless integration of IoT devices with robotic systems.
In the next chapter, we will convert our virtual TurtleSim robot into a real-life physical robot and control it with our new IoT joystick.
