Danny Staple

Danny Staple builds robots and gadgets as a hobbyist, makes videos about his work with robots, and attends community events such as PiWars and Arduino Day. He has been a professional Python programmer, later moving into DevOps, since 2009, and a software engineer since 2000. He has worked with embedded systems, including embedded Linux systems, throughout the majority of his career. He has been a mentor at a local CoderDojo, where he taught how to code with Python. He has run Lego Robotics clubs with Mindstorms. He has also developed Bounce!, a visual programming language targeted at teaching code using the NodeMCU IoT platform. The robots he has built with his children include TankBot, SkittleBot (now the Pi Wars robot), ArmBot, and SpiderBot.

Exercises

These exercises will deepen your understanding of the topics covered in this chapter and make the robot’s code better:

  • All the preceding examples could benefit from the PID modification and printing menu in the UART command handler – consider adding it to them.
  • In the distance control, we set the derivative filter gain to 1, disabling it. How does this system behave with other filter gain values?
  • Instead of starting motions with the phone app, could you chain some of these movements together? Or even alter the phone G instruction to make a few motions with a single command sequence?
