SunFounder PiCar-S
1.8 Arming the Car!
A car without sensor modules is unarmed just like a man without sight and hearing, thus he has no feeling for the
surrounding environment. So what we are going to do is arm the car, allowing it to detect the surroundings. Now let’s
turn the
PiCar into the PiCar-S .
What exactly is the PiCar-S? ——- We arm the PiCar with some sensors, which endow the car with the ability to
collect and process the data. The
sensor modules to the PiCar is what the cartridges to the game console ; they are
added to the basic design of the game and thus richening the play. It’s also similar to the code. The processor will
use
SunFounder_PiCar to drive the car’s movement, and call the corresponding code package for different modules
(
SunFounder_Light_Follower
,
SunFounder_Line_Follower
,
SunFounder_Ultrasonic_Avoidance
).
Assemble the desired sensor module according to the wiring in corresponding module instructions below. Have fun
with
The Transformer !
