Robotics Electronics Foundations
Four sessions on the electronics that decide whether a robot works: power budgets, logic levels, motor drivers and the debugging habits that find a fault in minutes instead of evenings. No prior circuits course assumed.

Build a Line Follower That Actually Corners
A complete first robot, built the way an engineer would build it. We assemble the drivetrain, read an eight-channel sensor array properly, write a PID controller from the equations up, and then tune it on a real track until it takes a hairpin at speed.

ROS 2 Navigation from Scratch
Most ROS 2 tutorials stop at the simulator. This series runs on a physical rover: we wire a Pi 5 to a Pico motor controller, publish honest odometry, fuse it with an IMU, map a room with slam_toolbox and finish by sending navigation goals through Nav2.

Design and Control a 6-Axis Arm
Forward and inverse kinematics derived on paper, then written in Python you can follow line by line, then run on a desktop arm built from serial bus servos. Ends with trajectory planning and a pick-and-place routine driven by a camera.
