Mapping Astro Pi Life on Earth Images

A simple way to visualise the path of the ISS while your experiment was running is to plot your photos on a map. You can use a free software application on the Raspberry Pi to do this easily and quickly.

Note: In order for this to work, you should have embedded into the EXIF meta-data of your photo the latitiude and longitude of the ISS at the time the image was captured (this process was described in this section of the Phase 2 guide).

If you saved your latitude/longitude into a CSV file but did not embed the data into the appropriate EXIF fields then you could write some code to do this now.

Installation

const int sensorPin = A0; 
int sensorValue = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT); 
}

Find folders without main.py files

 find Izzy -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d '!' -exec test -e "{}/main.py" ';' -print

Reading the value attribute from a gpiozero MotionSensor

This example shows how to use the .value attribute. Note that it is not a function and so does not use paranethseses. Here pir.value is treated in the same way as you would a variable.

from gpiozero import MotionSensor
from time import sleep

pir = MotionSensor(12)

	Start by building your robot.
	The simplest robot is the Spike hub connected to two wheels and a caster
	There are lots of ways to build a similar 2-wheeled bit, and the design shown here might not be the best for every task.
	You may also need to adapt your code if you build a bot with larger motors or wheels.
