In this comprehensive course, you’ll embark on an exciting journey to build and program a robot arm using the Raspberry Pi, the PCA9685 servo driver board, and Python. Whether you’re a beginner in robotics or looking to expand your skill set, this course is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in robotics engineering and programming.
We’ll start with the basics, setting up your Raspberry Pi and getting familiar with Python programming. From there, you’ll learn about the PCA9685 board—a versatile servo driver that allows for precise control over multiple servos simultaneously.
As we progress, you’ll dive into the mechanical design and assembly of a 4-servo robot arm. You’ll gain hands-on experience in constructing a functional robot arm, from choosing the right materials to assembling the servos and connecting them to the PCA9685 board.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
We’re excited to have you on this journey. Let’s start building!
