194 Make: Robotic Arms
MCUs like the Arduino and the ESP32. Transitioning
to an SBC can be a great next step in your DIY
robotics journey, and using a Raspberry Pi in your
robotics projects can be a great way to learn more
about advanced topics such as integrating computer-
vision image-recognition software such as OpenCV
or other more advanced robotics software packages
such as ROS (the Robot Operating System).
SBCS VERSUS MCUSWHICH IS RIGHT FOR
MY PROJECT?
As powerful SBCs continue to come down in price
and the computing power of small MCUs continues
to grow, the line between the two platforms gets
increasingly blurry. For small robotics pr ...
