If the picture interests you, a couple additional providers of robotics elements for Raspberry Pi-based tasks are Dexter Industries and PiBOT.
I got in touch with the makers at Erle this week to create a great tutorial for the readers. I'll be bringing you more tutorials from over the makerverse down the line. I'm not affiliated with the business or its founders, but I really do dig their function and open-source ethos.
Part of the fun of robotics in 2016 is the fact that it can serve as a relatively low-cost hobby, one that tests and enhances your hardware and coding chops. Quick note: This project uses components from Erle Robotics. That's largely because of the Raspberry Pi along with other cheap micro controllers, to hundreds of shields and components available for custom hacks, and, needless to say, for an open resource neighborhood that facilitates posting suggestions and details.
Erle Robotics, that i mentioned in last week's piece concerning the increasingly
Important Source role of Linux in robotics, supplies cheap components for DIY Raspberry Pi projects.
