Play with Python
=======================

For novices and beginners wishing to program in Python, some basic Python skills and familiarity with the Raspberry Pi OS are helpful.  
This section will guide you step by step — from setting up your Raspberry Pi, to moving PiCar-X, to using computer vision, and finally adding voice and AI interaction.

1. Quick Guide on Python
---------------------------

Learn how to set up your Raspberry Pi environment:  
install Raspberry Pi OS, configure Wi-Fi, and enable remote access so you can run Python code easily.  
If you already know how to use Raspberry Pi and access its command line, you may skip directly to the later parts.

    ../_shared/pi_start/power_supply_robot_hat
    ../_shared/pi_start/set_up_pi
    install_all_modules
    py_servo_adjust

2. Basic Movement
-----------------------

After assembling your PiCar-X, start with simple movement programs.  
You will learn how to control the motors, drive forward/backward, turn, and use basic sensors for avoiding obstacles or following lines.

3. Computer Vision
----------------------

Give your PiCar-X the ability to see using its camera.  
This section covers fun vision-based projects such as face tracking, recording, object interactions, and controlling the car via video or a mobile app.
