Obstacle Avoid

Let Pico-4wd do a challenging task: automatically avoid obstacles! When an obstacle is detected, instead of simply backing up, the radar scans the surrounding area and finds the widest way to move forward.

How to do?

  1. Open the obstacle_avoid.py file under the path of pico_4wd_car_main\examples.

  2. Click File -> Save as or press Ctrl+Shift+S to save donot_push_me.py to the Raspberry Pi Pico as main.py.

  3. Unplug the USB cable and turn on the power switch. When you place it on the ground, it avoids the obstacles and keeps going.

How it Works?
