Discover how Python can transform basic electronic components into intelligent robotics systems. This talk demonstrates practical approaches to hardware control using Python, covering everything from GPIO manipulation to complex robotics control systems. Through live demonstrations, we'll explore Python libraries for hardware integration, sensor processing, and motor control, with real-world examples from educational robotics projects. Perfect for developers interested in physical computing and robotics education.
The session will cover three main areas:
1. Python Hardware Control Architecture
- Direct GPIO manipulation techniques
- Implementation of common protocols (I2C, SPI, UART)
- Real-time sensor data processing
- Integration with microcontroller platforms
2. Robotics Control Systems
- Motor and servo control optimization
- Sensor fusion implementation
- Real-time feedback systems
- Custom protocol development
3. Live Demonstrations
- Real-time hardware control
- Sensor data acquisition
- Interactive robot movement
- Error handling and safety systems
Attendees will learn practical techniques for implementing Python in robotics projects, understanding hardware integration, and developing control systems for educational and professional applications.
I will bring my hardware for demonstrations including:
- Raspberry Pi-based robot
- Various sensors and motors
- Control interfaces
- Backup hardware set
