SparkFun Autonomous Kits for Sphero RVR

Author : Sparkfun Published Time : 2019-07-18
SparkFun Autonomous Kits for Sphero RVR is an expansion set of sensors that can be added to the Sphero RVR platform. The kits are based on the Raspberry Pi Zero W and provides global positioning and Vision to the Sphero RVR. A pan-tilt device allows video from the viewpoint of the RVR, and the ability to look around. The Raspberry Pi Zero W and the Camera provide enough power to run most machine vision programs that run on the Pi platform. The kits are available in Basic and Advanced. The Advanced kit provides all the functionality of the basic kit with the addition of time-of-flight distance sensing in the front and rear.
