CurryKitten | The PiCar-X. A Raspberry Pi powered robot car. Supplied by SunFounder @CurryKitten | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 3 days ago
I've had a look at a few robot car kits, but they mostly use Arduino boards for the car's "brain". This time I'm using the far more powerful Raspberry Pi 4. Let's check out what that extra computational power can do.
