SunFounder GalaxyRVR Kit for Arduino, Release 1.0
3.11 Lesson 11: Exploring the Mars Rover Visual System - Camera
and Real-time Control
Welcome back, young explorers! In the last lesson, we equipped our Mars Rover with the ability to “nod” using a tilt
mechanism. Now, it’s time to give our Rover “eyes” - the camera!
In this thrilling journey, we’ll dive into the setup of the Rover’s camera system. You’ll learn how to relay the visuals
captured by the Rover’s camera to a web page, so you can see exactly what the Rover sees, in real time. Imagine the
excitement of experiencing the Martian landscape from the Rover’s perspective!
The excitement continues as we also introduce the SunFounder Controller app. This application allows us to get a live
feed of the Rover’s view as it navigates around, and we can control the tilt mechanism directly from our smartphones
or tablets. It’s like having a remote control with a built-in screen!
This offers an even more interactive and engaging experience with our Rover. Stay tuned for more adventures!
