If you want a cheap robot kit, it's hard to do better than the CamJam EduKit #3. This is a small kit which you can assemble into a two-wheeled robot with a caster, as long as you buy a few extras. It comes with a line sensor and ultrasound distance sensor, plus a series of exercise sheets to work through in order to build the robot and get it running. You can optionally get your own chassis, or you can use the box the kit comes in.

I have recorded videos that cover all of the exercises given by the repository and uploaded them to YouTube. This post goes through each video and briefly explains what it shows, so you can follow along if you choose to buy the kit. I also use the box as the chassis!

This is the second part of the "ROS2 Control with the JetBot" series, where I show you how to get a JetBot working with ROS2 Control! This is a sequel to the part 1 blog post, where I showed how to drive the JetBot's motors using I²C and PWM with code written in C++.

In this post, I show the next step in making ROS2 Control work with the WaveShare JetBot - wrapping the motor control code in a System. I'll walk through some concepts, show the example repository for ROS2 Control implementations, and then show how to implement the System for JetBot and see it running.
