Getting Started

gwrobolib is a collection of classes and functions used by GW Robotics to program their Trinity College Firefighting robot entry. The library makes use of a Raspberry Pi as the robot processor and an Arduino as the input/output board. The Raspberry Pi and Arduino communicate using Nanpy, although a modified version.

Programming the robot is easiest done by programming directly on the Raspberry Pi, though it can also be programmed on a computer, then uploaded to the Raspberry Pi. Plans are in order to investigate Raspberry Pi simulation on a computer, and instructions will be added when that is found.

To make getting started a quick process, the following template is provided.
