Original BrickPi Bookreader

In this project we make an ebook reading robot with the BrickPi.

11. Putting It All Together

On the Github repo, there is a test code called arm_test.py to help you calibrate the arm for perfect movement. Connect the motor to Port C of BrickPi and change the values of ‘t’ and ’sp’, until you get flawless movement.

With the camera and all software’s working and the platform ready with the motor arm, it is time to bring the Bookreader to life.

Make sure that the camera is calibrated to take focused images of the tablet here with the text clearly visible and that the motor mount is moving correctly and turning the pages.

Download bookreader.py from the BrickPi Github Python Repo and put it in the directory where you have the BrickPi.py library and just run the code to bring it to life.
