Description
Summary:– In this work we proposed the development of an alternative device as a motivating element to learn computer science and robotics using the Raspberry PI and Arduino boards. The connections of all hardware used to build the device called Betabot are presented and are also reported the technologies used for programming the Betabot. An environment for writing programs to run at Betabot was developed. With this environment it is possible to write programs in the Python programming language, using libraries with functions specific to the device. With the Betabot using a webcam and through image processing search for patterns like faces, circles, squares and colors. The device also has functions to move servos and motors, and capture values returned by some kinds of sensors connected to communication ports. From this work, it was possible to develop a device that is easy to be manipulated and programmed, which can be used to support the teaching of computer science and robotics.
