RoverAPI

Python based RPI+Arduino API for controlling a simple four wheels robot rover

Arduino Rover Python API

A Python API for programming Arduino-based rovers with wheels using a Raspberry Pi. This project enables easy control and programming of robotic rovers, specifically designed for the Makeblock Robotic Ant Tanks platform.

Description

This API provides a simple interface to control Arduino-powered wheeled rovers through Python, leveraging the computational power of a Raspberry Pi for advanced robotics applications.

Features

• Python-based control interface for Arduino rovers
• Raspberry Pi integration for enhanced processing capabilities
• Compatible with Makeblock Robotic Ant Tanks
• Easy-to-use API for robotics programming

Installation

Install the required dependencies using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start

Run the included test script to understand how the API works with your Makeblock Robotic Ant Tanks rover:

python main.py

The main.py script provides a basic example demonstrating the rover's functionality and API usage.

Requirements
