Overview
This course is designed to help you learn how to use Python to control the various components of a robotic system, specifically in the context of the Jetson Nano. After an introduction to the Nano and its peripheral components, such as the viewfinder, you will learn how to set up the software components necessary to open a terminal and install the servo kit. From there, you will learn the basics of Python code, including working with for loops and importing/loading the servo kit for use. You will then be walked through setting up and then controlling the servos connected to the Nano, first using the speed, range and run functions, then with the more advanced methods of writing a for loop and movement of the servo in a diagonal. The course culminates with a test to track the speed and accuracy of servo movement.
