Re: [Sugar-devel] TA Lego WeDo plugin -- review and notes

[Ian Daniher]

Hi All,

I missed this original thread due to a poorly configured gmail autofilter.

Martin - any interest in resuming packaging of WeDoMore?

Walter - has the plugin API solidified?

Best!

[Sugar-devel] Lego WeDo + TurtleArt - Screenshot & Code!

[Ian Daniher]

Hi All!

I'm writing with good news. I successfully have integrated the Lego WeDo
with TurtleArt.

Here's a screenshot: http://itdnhr.com/static/WeDoScreen.png

The code needed can be found in my git repo at
https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/
.

TurtleArt specific files can be found at
https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/tree/master/TurtleArt.

The svg files go in the "icons" folder.
The "usb" folder goes in the root of the TurtleArt directory.
The file "wedo_plugin.py" goes in the plugins folder in the TurtleArt
directory.
The folder "WeDoMore" goes in the root of the TurtleArt directory.

This project is *not* ready for primetime yet. The only semipolished code is
the actual Python WeDoMore library. Anything and everything in my repo that
is related to turtleart should be considered 'alpha,' that is, may cause
your computer to spontaneously burst into flames. That being said, it works
perfectly for me, and I could definitely use testers.

If you feel like giving it a go, and if you find any bugs, please report
them at https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/issues.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Re: [Sugar-devel] Interesting USB-pluggable robots, controller boards, and sensors

[Ian Daniher]

Hey All,

I'm the previously mentioned Olin student working on TA / WeDo integration.

Right now, I have a full-function python driver for the WeDo and an early
draft for a Turtle Art plugin.

I will be releasing a public beta via my github page,
https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore, on Mar18.
Shortly thereafter, a blog post will go live on blog.laptop.org describing
the project in detail.

The WeDo motor, distance, and tilt sensor will be supported out-of-the-box.

I would quite appreciate any questions, comments, and criticisms of the
project at this point.

After the Mar18th public beta, I will be requesting significant community
bug testing.

Thanks!
