In this super interesting episode of Maker Show, Pete took us through everything needed in order to build a robot arm with a Raspberry Pi, .NET 5 a Blazor App and SignalR.
Pete started by talking about .NET 5 and how easy it is to install .NET 5. Then we had a look through the various circuits and he spun up a console application to explore how we can control the GPIO on the Pi. We have seen how the Servos are wired up and how to get the code in place to start moving our Raspberry pi based Robot Arm. Finally we saw a simple Blazor and SignalR app that controls the robot remotely! This talk appeals to all knowledge levels and anyone interested in getting into STEM, Electronics and Robotics.
