Hardware needed

For installing and utilizing the line follower application for RegBot robots the following things are needed:

  • A fully functional RegBot programmed with latest version of the robot software. Consult this section to ensure that.
  • A clean Raspberry Pi (model 2 and above is preferred). In case the Pi is clean with an OS newly installed simply skip the install OS section in Software Installation.
  • A Raspberry Pi camera modul.
  • A mount for Raspberry Pi + camera module. Consult JCA for this.
  • A few female/female jumper wires for connecting the Raspberry Pi with the RegBot.

Also it would be good to have access to a "HDMI input"-screen in order to locally make the initial connection to WiFi and setup SSH for remote access.
