---------------Before using the 4WD Four Wheel Drive Kit, ensure you have a compatible microcontroller or single-board computer, such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and a power supply.### Example 1: Basic Motor Control with ArduinoIn this example, we'll demonstrate basic motor control using an Arduino Uno and the L298N motor driver IC.Hardware Requirements4WD Four Wheel Drive Kit
Arduino Uno
L298N motor driver IC
Jumper wiresSoftware RequirementsArduino IDE (version 1.8.x or later)Code Example
```cpp
const int leftMotorForward = 2; // Define motor pins
const int leftMotorBackward = 3;
const int rightMotorForward = 4;
const int rightMotorBackward = 5;void setup() {
pinMode(leftMotorForward, OUTPUT);
pinMode(leftMotorBackward, OUTPUT);
pinMode(rightMotorForward, OUTPUT);
pinMode(rightMotorBackward, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
// Move forward
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, HIGH);
delay(1000);
// Move backward
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, HIGH);
delay(1000);
// Stop
digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, LOW);
digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, LOW);
digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, LOW);
digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
```### Example 2: Line Follower Robot with Raspberry Pi and OpenCVIn this example, we'll demonstrate a line follower robot using a Raspberry Pi, OpenCV, and the 4WD Four Wheel Drive Kit.Hardware Requirements4WD Four Wheel Drive Kit
Raspberry Pi (any version)
Raspberry Pi camera module
Jumper wiresSoftware RequirementsRaspbian OS (latest version)
OpenCV (version 4.x or later)
Python 3.x (latest version)Code Example
```python
import cv2
import numpy as np# Initialize camera
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)while True:
ret, frame = cap.read()
if not ret:
break# Convert to grayscale and apply threshold
gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_, thresh = cv2.threshold(gray, 127, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)# Find contours
contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)# Iterate through contours and find the largest one
for contour in contours:
area = cv2.contourArea(contour)
x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(contour)
aspect_ratio = float(w)/h# Filter out small areas and non-rectangular shapes
if area > 1000 and aspect_ratio > 2:
cv2.drawContours(frame, [contour], -1, (0, 255, 0), 2)# Calculate center of the contour
M = cv2.moments(contour)
cx = int(M['m10']/M['m00'])
cy = int(M['m01']/M['m00'])# Move the robot towards the contour
if cx < 320:
# Move left
print("Move left")
# Control motor here using Raspberry Pi GPIO
elif cx > 320:
# Move right
print("Move right")
# Control motor here using Raspberry Pi GPIO
else:
# Move forward
print("Move forward")
# Control motor here using Raspberry Pi GPIOcv2.imshow('frame', frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
breakcap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```
In this example, we use OpenCV to capture video from the Raspberry Pi camera module, apply thresholding and contour detection to find the line, and then control the motors to move the robot towards the line.Note: This is just a basic example to demonstrate the concept. You may need to fine-tune the code and add more functionality to achieve a fully functional line follower robot.
