Tracked Robot base

I have a tracked base that has been sitting in a box for a few years. I think I will do something with it. The first thing I needed to know was, what hardware do I have and what can I make it do.

I have a raspberry pi and a motor hat for that raspberry

I have a Bluetooth keyboard.

I’ll make a keyboard-controlled RC style to test out the robot base and see how capable this base is.

I’ll start with a simple Python script to make the motors run. I’ll start by setting up Visual Studio Code to remote into my Raspberry for my development environment. There are many tutorials online showing how to do this.
