Robots… Robots… Robots… Everyone loves robots. Not a single person doesn’t. Fact. They are awesome. And here’s how to make your own one!
Welcome to Episode 2 of my latest Robots series! In this video I will show you how to make a robot autonomously avoid obstacles. By the end of this video you will understand a Python program and be able to let loose a never-colliding Pi2Go-lite into the wild. Watch the above for all the details.

Hello
Can you guide me about SCRATCH controlling the PI2GoLite.
So far I suceeded in cotroling its motors and leds, but have difficulties with the ultrasonic sensors which I do no see how to use for obstacle avoidance, the distance measureing program of pin 8 does not seem to work
Thanks

Hi there,
I have not had much experience with Scratch on the Pi2Go-lite however there seems to be a fairly good level of support online. There is more information on the Pi2Go-lite homepage here: http://4tronix.co.uk/blog/?p=452
Thanks

Thanks for your reply
Unfortunately there is nothing there on how to use Scratch/GPIO for using the Ultrasonic sensor for distance measuring.
Maybe there is another place to find such advice
