If the camera on the robot detects an object moving or changing, the LEDs on the robot
will turn red. This feature is developed based on Adrian Rosebrock's OpenCV code on
pyimagesearch.com. You can also learn more about the OpenCV to gain more fun to play
with, such as syncing the captured image to the dropbox after detecting the motion of the
object. The example program we provide just makes the LEDs display red however. For
other functions, you can install the corresponding packages according to your needs, just
by changing the code in FPV.py.
Add More Functions
Function 5 and Function 6 buttons are placeholders for other functions you want to add.
This robot is based on raspberry pi so there are a lot more functions you can play with, but
some other libraries are required.
We intend to simplify the installation steps as much as possible to lower the barriers for
more people. Hence, for example, voice recognition, which requires a large number of lib
raries to be installed, will not be provided in the standard program. If you are interested in
this, you can try to expand more. We will offer the installation and application methods of
other functions in the follow-up tutorials. Please subscribe our Youtube channel for more.
Change LED Color
You can control the colors of the LEDs on the robot in real time by dragging these three
sliders. These three sliders correspond to the brightness of the three channels of RGB. In
theory, you can create 16,777,216 (256^ 3) kinds of colors through these three sliders.
Safe Shutdown
You may notice there's no such thing as a power button for the Raspberry Pi as for PC.
Most people would directly unplug the power cable for the Raspberry Pi, which may cause
damage to the Raspberry Pi and SD card, data loss, etc. To avoid such issues, you need a
safe shutdown for the Raspberry Pi.
If you just use the Raspberry Pi independently, you may shut it down with the following
command:
sudo shutdown –h now
