Hello guys. I'm not sure to be at the right place for my post.
I have a ActivityBot since some months. Now i use it for my personal project : PLR1.

I've had a raspberry pi on the bot. The project is under construction.
Here's the link of my blog : https://djgsi974.wordpress.com
if you want to look what it is. The problem is that i'm french. So the blog is in french langage but you can look the videos eventually.

Sorry if there is some mistakes on my post (my english is not very good).

Thanks in advance.

That's a great robot.

What's the grey box on the back of the robot? Is it a battery?

What does the Propeller do? Does the Propeller control the servos or are you controlling the servos with the Raspberry Pi?

Thanks for sharing your project.

Hello Duane. Thank you for your answer.

The grey box is effectively the battery (came from a portable printer 7.4v 4200 Mah). To charge the bot, i just have to put the cable behind it, on the battery connector.
The propeller control the servos (2 for wires, 2 for the camera),2 pings modules and 2 infrared modules for obstacles detections, lights (4 white leds), the battery level.
The raspberry pi gives instructions to the propeller and read information from it (serial communication) and control bluetooth, camera reading, gyroscope and accelerometer.
The screen is not used yet : it will have a serial communication with the propeller.

Bye.
