Dexter Industries SimpleBot for Raspberry Pi

SimpleBot is the simplest BrickPi model.  With a total of 46 parts(most of them are connectors) and two motors.  A minimalist design, it uses as few parts as possible.  SimpleBot is a great place to start for a first robot with the BrickPi!

Sample Program:

We have 3 sample programs for the SimpleBot up on Github both in C and Python.

The simplebot_simple is the very basic robot and the best place for starters. In this you can control the bot with the ‘w’,’a’ ,’s’, ‘d’ keys .

The simplebot_speed is the same as the simplebot_simple but adds speed control using ‘t’ and ‘g’ keys.

The simplebot_psp gives you the ability to control the simplebot using the joysticks on the Mindsensors PSP controller

LDD Building Model:

We also put together a LEGO Digital Designer Model which makes building simplebot . . . simple.
