Hey guys,
I have a class project where I am making an arduino RC car. I want to make the car respond to keyboard arrow commands from my laptop, put a sensor on it to recognize when it would run into and obstacle, and a camera to send live video to my laptop. I also have to do this using python... possibly track where the car has driven and use where obstacles are detected to map the floor plan of the room. Could you guys please give me some advice on which sensors/camera/arduino hardware to buy and which programming modules to use?
I'm currently using Python Arduino Prototyping API (GitHub - HashNuke/Python-Arduino-Prototyping-API: Helps you to quickly prototype Arduino programs, without having to repeatedly load the program to the Arduino board) and I get the laptop to recognize my arduino uno but thats about it. Right now, I just have the digital leads hooked up the wires that I soldered to the nodes that control left, right, forwards, and backwards and then the ground. I'm definitely open to suggestions since I'm pretty inexperienced with arduinos.
Thanks
