Enhancing the Pololu 3pi with Robotbasic Samuel Mishal

RobotBASIC has an integrated robot simulator with numerous sensors including bumpers, IR perimeter sensors, line sensors, a ranging sensor, a beacon detector, and an electronic compass. Our book, Robot Programmer's Bonanza, showed that these sensors can give a mobile robot amazing capabilities. RobotBASIC also has a proprietary protocol that allows it to control real robots with the very same programs developed with the simulator. This book gives a detail description of how to modify the 3Pi robot from Pololu so that it has all the sensors listed above and can be controlled over a Bluetooth link from a PC running RobotBASIC. There are many example programs that demonstrate how to use the 3Pi's new capabilities. This is not a beginner's project and readers are assumed to have soldering skills and the ability to read and interpret schematics.
