Preface to ESP8266 Robotics Projects

This e-book is all about robotics tasks primarily based on the unique ESP8266 microcontroller board and a few variants of ESP8266 boards.

The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module is a self-contained SOC with an built-in TCP/IP protocol stack that can provide any microcontroller entry to your Wi-Fi community.

It has highly effective processing and storage capabilities. It additionally helps software internet hosting and Wi-Fi networking. The primary chapter explains all the pieces that it’s good to construct your growth atmosphere with fundamental {hardware} and software program elements.

This e-book makes use of an authentic ESP8266 board and an AdafruitFeather HUZZAH ESP8266 board for all of the robotic tasks.

Additionally, you will learn to use several types of chassis kits, motors, motor drivers, energy provides and distribution boards, sensors, and actuators to construct robotic tasks that may be managed by way of Wi-Fi.

Additionally, you will use line sensors, ArduCam, wheel encoders, and a Gripper Package to construct extra specialised robots.

What this e-book covers

Chapter 1, Getting Prepared, introduces the unique ESP8266, that’s, ESP-01, units up a growth atmosphere with the {hardware} and software program wanted to put in writing code for ESP8266, and explains methods to use the Arduino Core to put in writing code for ESP8266 boards with the Arduino IDE.

This chapter may also current methods to use the AT command with PuTTY to execute on an ESP8266.

Chapter 2, Constructing a Mini Spherical Robotic with Unique ESP8266, explains methods to construct a Mini Spherical Robotic utilizing the Mini 3-Layer Spherical Robotic Chassis Package with the ESP-01 board, Arduino, and a few electronics.

This chapter may also clarify methods to develop a Blynk app to manage the robotic by a Wi-Fi community.

Chapter 3, Utilizing Encoders, exhibits methods to modify the Mini 3-Layer Spherical Robotic you constructed within the earlier chapter by integrating a wheel encoder equipment to calculate common pace and distance traveled primarily based on the pulses generated by the hall-effect sensors.

This chapter may also clarify methods to modify the Blynk app you constructed within the earlier chapter to point out the calculated common pace and distance traveled.

Chapter 4, Constructing a Mini Spherical Robotic with the Feather HUZZAH ESP8266, exhibits methods to substitute the unique ESP8266 board with a bodily smaller and extra light-weight Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 board.

The chapter may also clarify methods to develop a Blynk app to manage the robotic by a Wi-Fi community.

Chapter 5, Line-Following Zumo Robotic, teaches methods to construct a robotic that follows a line, both a black line on a white floor or a white line on a black floor, by integrating a Line Follower Array. The chapter may also clarify methods to construct a line following the course.

Chapter 6, Constructing an ESP8266 Robotic Controller, exhibits methods to construct an ESP8266-based easy Robotic Controller that can be utilized to manage a Romi Robotic by a Wi-Fi community utilizing Blynk Bridge.

Chapter 7, Constructing a Gripper Robotic, explains methods to construct a robotic primarily based on the Mini Robotic Rover chassis, a parallel Gripper Package, and a servo motor.

The chapter may also clarify methods to construct a Blynk app to manage the gripper by a Wi-Fi community.

Chapter 8, Photograph Rover Robotic, exhibits methods to construct a rover robotic that can be utilized to take photos with an ArduCAM from distant places and consider them utilizing an online browser.

The robotic makes use of an online socket server that lets you management the digicam utilizing a easy web-based interface. The identical interface can be utilized to view the captured picture as properly.
