    Default Building a robot

    I have always wanted to build a Autonomus Robot but don't want to splash out money for it, unless I have to buy a Rasp-Pi that I'll do . I have lots of old electronic junk around the house that I'm sure I can use most of it for it, I'll make an inventory of everything I can use if needed

    That's the problem, I haven't started yet


    I was hoping somebody could teach me basic wiring(which I know nothing about) then I will be able to build it

    Rasp-Pi isn't really the best for that kind of thing since most of the SoC features are locked and you can't get full data sheets unless you are a bulk order customer (10k+ units). It could work for some of the higher level processing but for the low level control you want to look at something like an Ardunio kit.
