Motor Workshop Example Code

This repository contains example code for driving motors via both Raspberry Pi and Arduino, as well as reading in a camera feed from a Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi

The sample code available for Raspberry Pi is as follows:

  • incremental.py

    • Drives a servo incrementally through its full range of motion
    • Should be run on Raspberry Pi
    • Assumes servo is being controlled over pin 25

  • positions.py

    • Drives a servo motor to minimum, middle, and max positions
    • Should be run on Raspberry Pi
    • Assumes servo is rbeing controlled over pin 25

  • read_local_camera_feed.py

    • Reads and displays, using OpenCV, a video feed from a local PiCamera
    • Should be run on Raspberry Pi with a monitor attached

  • read_remote_camera_feed.py

    • Reads and displays, using OpenCV, a video feed being streamed over TCP
    • Should be run on an external computer, reading a camera feed streamed from a Raspberry Pi
    • Environment variables:
      • VIDEO_STREAM_ADDRESS - the IP address over which the video feed is being streamed
      • VIDEO_STREAM_PORT - the TCP port over which the video feed is being streamed

  • simpledriving.py

    • Drives a DC motor at varying speeds and directions
    • Should be run on Raspberry Pi
    • Assumes DC motor being controlled over pins 5 and 12
