Abstract


A turtle is a robot that is used for educational purposes - to learn programming.
Turtle robots are used to draw paintings or figures with a pen and paper using commands
entered by the user.


In this project a STM32 discovery development board from ST electronics is used to
program such a turtle robot. This report will discuss the software architecture and
algorithms used for the robot and also describe the hardware and testing phase of the
project. The turtle, except the STM32 discovery development board, also contains two step
motors, a servo and a radio for communication with a computer terminal.


The turtle robot is named after the mock turtle from Lewis Caroll's book Alice's
adventures in wonderland, "the thing mock turtle soup is made of".
