This python project is the controlling software for the Spydian remote controlled car.
|
|
|
|
|
The car can be controlled with a (XBOX) Joystick and consists of a raspberry pi as core unit,
|
|
|
|
|
several sensors (Gyroscope, Ultrasonic, Camera) and a relay for switching lights and motors on
|
|
|
|
|
and off. The controlling part is achived by using pygame to get direct access to the controller
|
|
|
|
|
events. The software itself is splitted into several libraries for handling specific tasks.

|
To install the requirements execute the install.sh script. This script does not install Python but
|
|
|
|
|
uses pip. So first you need to install Python 2 and Python 3 because this software uses both
|
|
|
|
|
versions. You also need to connect all sensors and relays to the specific pins.

|
|
To execute the software the main.py script needs to be run. Open a console and type
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo python3 main.py`. Notice that the superuser rights are required because the script needs
|
|
|
|
|
access to the GPIO-Pins of the raspberry pi.
