We've explored using input to discover the world around our bots, and output to let our bots communicate, but there is another crucial skill any bot should have: the ability to move! In the next few chapters, we'll discuss various ways we get let our bots to move, and discuss how to control that movement. We'll start in this chapter with the simplest movement component: the motor.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- More about motors
- Preparing for a motor-driven project with the Raspberry Pi
- The Johnny-Five motor object
- Troubleshooting your motorized projects
- Project – building a randomized motorized cat toy
- Project – using a gearbox motor and the motors object
