Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Movement Using Arduino IDE
This example demonstrates how to control the Spider Robot using the Arduino IDE and a Bluetooth module.
Hardware Requirements:
Spider Robot Insect Fun Toy
 Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
 Bluetooth Module (e.g., HC-05)
Code:
```c
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define BT(rx, tx) SoftwareSerial(rx, tx)
BT bt(2, 3); // Bluetooth module on pins 2 and 3
void setup() {
  bt.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  // Move the spider robot forward
  bt.println("forward");
  delay(1000);
// Move the spider robot backward
  bt.println("backward");
  delay(1000);
// Turn the spider robot left
  bt.println("left");
  delay(500);
// Turn the spider robot right
  bt.println("right");
  delay(500);
}
```
Explanation:
In this example, we use the SoftwareSerial library to communicate with the Bluetooth module connected to the Arduino board. The Spider Robot is controlled by sending commands through the Bluetooth connection. The `forward`, `backward`, `left`, and `right` commands are used to control the robot's movement.
### Example 2: Autonomous Navigation Using Python and OpenCV
This example demonstrates how to use the Spider Robot Insect Fun Toy to create an autonomous navigation system using Python and OpenCV.
Hardware Requirements:
Spider Robot Insect Fun Toy
 Raspberry Pi or similar single-board computer
 USB Camera (e.g., Logitech C270)
 Bluetooth Module (e.g., HC-05)
Code:
```python
import cv2
import numpy as np
import bluetooth
# Bluetooth connection
bt_socket = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket( bluetooth.RFCOMM )
bt_socket.connect(("XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX", 1))  # Replace with Spider Robot's Bluetooth address
# OpenCV setup
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    if not ret:
        break
# Process the frame to detect obstacles
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    _, thresh = cv2.threshold(gray, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)
    contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
# Find the largest contour (assuming it's the obstacle)
    max_contour = max(contours, key=cv2.contourArea)
# Calculate the obstacle's center coordinates
    M = cv2.moments(max_contour)
    cx = int(M['m10'] / M['m00'])
    cy = int(M['m01'] / M['m00'])
# Send movement commands to the Spider Robot based on the obstacle's position
    if cx < 320:  # Obstacle on the left
        bt_socket.send("left")
    elif cx > 320:  # Obstacle on the right
        bt_socket.send("right")
    else:  # Move forward
        bt_socket.send("forward")
cv2.imshow("Frame", frame)
    cv2.waitKey(1)
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```
Explanation:
In this example, we use OpenCV to process video frames from a USB camera and detect obstacles. The Python script calculates the center coordinates of the largest contour (assuming it's the obstacle) and sends movement commands to the Spider Robot based on the obstacle's position. The Spider Robot navigates around the obstacle using the received commands.
