Pimoroni Explorer HAT Pro for 40-Pin Raspberry Pi

PIM082 - Explorer HAT Pro for 40-Pin Raspberry Pi

Hey guys,

Pimoroni, Explorer HAT Pro are one of my favorite product to build, play and test with smart robot. I made the video above, last year. A demo of what you can do with the explorer hat pro. Check it out!

It's basically an all in one board for the raspberry pi 3, that you can learn to code the led lightings and motor. Code it using simple python!

There's also a breadboard included on top of the main pimoroni board that you can use for other project. I tried, running a servo using the board and it actually work. But, you need to find the special code. And, sometime it didn't work. So, I used a separated arduino board to move the camera around.

Playing with Raspberry pi 3 and arduino are really fun!

It's great for learning about robotics and coding. I love learning about python and creating my own smart robot. If you have children, you should get it for them. You'll even find it great for adult learning too.

My weirdo shy arduino robot

ARDUINO UNO R3 [A000066]

Hey guys,

Check out my weirdo Arduino robot!

Today, I received my servos part order, so I decided to try to build a robot with an Arduino and two servos without using any motor shield. I found a website that teaches you how to do just that. Looks pretty easy. You'll need a breadboard and some jumper wires to links to your Arduino.

I improvised a bit by using a power bank and make sure they live and ground wires are linked together via the breadboard. I'm not an electrical expert but, I decided to try using the power direct via Arduino 5v. Whereas, the tutorial suggests to use separate power for each of them.

I think it depends on your motor. I bought the servos within the 3-6v. As I was actually buying it for the micro: bit. All I know is, it works. My weirdo robot is a little crude but, I don't have any 3d printers. So, again, I improvised by using leftover cut boards available.

I' going to improve on it, as the right servo(legs) keeps coming off. I'm not sure why, but, watching the weirdo robot moves is a little mesmerizing. I already have my sts pi smart car robot, that's why I was thinking of just using the servos as legs. I bought more servos for my beaglebone blue project too!

I need to do some tweaking on the code too. I just copied the code from the site and didn't edit anything. I wanted to make sure it works. I like dabbling around with sample code to see what it'll do. I also want my robot to move the way I want.

Anyway, check out my video and tell me what you think!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally. It works!

After hours of checking out tutorials on youtube and websites. Tinkering, with the wirings and even bought me a soldering iron set to solder the pins to the LCD display. It's actually my first time soldering stuff together. So, it looks a little haphazard.

Once, you've followed the setup, you'll need to check out the coding too. There're tons of sample tutorials you can follow and even modified the code. Just google or visit other videos on the youtube channel.

It's much easier to learn if you get an Arduino official kit so that you can immediately start learning and doing at the same time. It's good for beginners (like me!).

Goto: Arduino.cc if you want to learn more about products and coding software. Get the Arduino starter kit below!

Note: The video is not a tutorial. It's just to show what I've managed to learn and do. I'm still learning. It's really fun when you manage to get it to work after hours of scratching your butts, err...I mean my head.

You can check other tons of tutorials from others online!

Enjoy!
