This is the code for a Raspberry Pi based camera robot. The robot's motors are driven by an Arduino compatible Dagu Mini Driver board. Tornado is used to provide a web interface for the robot which allows the robot to be driven around whilst streaming images back from the Raspberry Pi's camera.
Installing
This code has the following dependencies
- Your Raspberry Pi must have its camera enabled
- mjpg-streamer - a good tutorial is here
- PySerial, Tornado, and Ino
install with
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev python-serial
sudo pip install tornado ino
install with
git clone https://github.com/mrjoes/sockjs-tornado.git
cd sockjs-tornado
sudo python setup.py install
Finally, clone this repository by running
git clone https://bitbucket.org/DawnRobotics/raspberry_pi_camera_bot.git
Running
Start the server by running
cd raspberry_pi_camera_bot
sudo ./robot_web_server.py
Alternatively, get the server to start when the Raspberry Pi boots by running
sudo cp init.d/robot_web_server /etc/init.d/robot_web_server
sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/robot_web_server
sudo update-rc.d robot_web_server defaults
