Gopherino is a robot based on the Maqueen v4.1 platform and powered by a BBC Microbit. It has several sensors onboard, RGB LEDs and two motors to move. As well as several expasion connectors.
- Infrared grayscale sensors (for line tracking) at P13 & P14
- 4x RGB LEDS (WSS2812) at P15
- 2x RED LEDs at P8 & P12
- Infrared sensor at P16
- Buzzer at P0
- HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor (connected) at P1 & P2
- Motors runs on I2C
The current code in this repository for Gopherino is quite simple, as it only uses the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor and the motors to avoid obstacles. So the possibilities to expand it are limitless. Here are some ideas.
- Use the infrared grayscale sensors to make it a robot following lines
- Make some noise with the buzzer (perhaps when it encounters and obstacle)
- Set the room ambient with its RGB LEDs
- Accept commands via the IR sensor (you might need a IR emitter, like a tv remote or a flipper zero)
- Take pictures with it, it's super cute!
