TurtleBot Arm Build on Make: Projects

In the Robot Roundup section of MAKE Volume 27, we featured the TurtleBot hobby platform as a great reasonably priced open source robotics kit. (Check out our review on page 77.) Now, the fine folks at TurtleBot are sharing project builds on our DIY wiki, Make: Projects. To date, there are eight TurtleBot projects, and there’s now a TurtleBot topic page nested under the Robotics category on the site.

Here’s a short video introducing TurtleBot:

    Remember there was that program for the Apple][ where you typed in the coordinates to move the “turtle” around on the screen?

    I do remember that. I think the big one was called Logo I believe. :)

    If anyone is interested in a tutorial about how to program the roomba via its SCI interface, there is a good one here:

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.
