Building a Robot Arm with .NET 8, Raspberry Pi, Blazor and SignalR

Explore the process of building a robot arm using .NET 8, Raspberry Pi, Blazor, and SignalR in this comprehensive conference talk. Begin with an introduction to installing .NET 8 on a Raspberry Pi, followed by a demonstration of connecting various components to the device. Dive into creating a console application to control the Raspberry Pi's GPIO and learn how to manipulate servos for the robot arm's movement. Discover the implementation of a Blazor and SignalR application for remote control of the robot. Finally, examine the integration of virtual reality using an Oculus Quest 2 to interact with the robot arm. Gain insights into IoT, embedded systems, mobile development, and robotics while following along with code examples shared on GitHub. Suitable for all skill levels, this talk provides a hands-on approach to combining software development with hardware integration.
