This content was created with the assistance of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI.
The author created a robot that learns programming at a low cost, such as Raspberry Pi Pico.
This robot consists of a main controller board with Raspberry Pi Pico compatible board installed and two low-cost 28BYJ-48 stepper motors.
The author shares PCB design files. So if you want, you can order PCB from any manufacturer. And he is also looking at selling the PCB or the whole kit with parts.
He describes the detail of the assembling of PCB.
This robot uses WizFi360-EVB-Pico with Micropython. And its sources are released to Github.
MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language that includes a small subset of the Python standard library and is optimized to run on microcontrollers and in constrained environments. It runs on a variety of systems and hardware platforms.
WIZnet5x00 Ethernet modules can be controlled using MicroPython. Wiznet has a repository on GitHub that provides an example of using MicroPython for RP2040.
There are also other repositories on GitHub that provide examples of using MicroPython with Wiznet devices, such as W5300-TOE, RP2040-HAT, and WizFi360-EVB-Pico-MicroPython.
Thank you for reading.
