+ First version of a Perl library to control the Spykee robot +

This summer I got the chance to buy cheap Spykee robots, and since +then I have worked on getting Linux software in place to control them. +The firmware for the robot is available from the producer, and using +that source it was trivial to figure out the protocol specification. +I've started on a perl library to control it, and made some demo +programs using this perl library to allow one to control the +robots.

+ +

The library is quite functional already, and capable of controlling +the driving, fetching video, uploading MP3s and play them. There are +a few less important features too.

+ +

Since a few weeks ago, I ran out of time to spend on this project, +but I never got around to releasing the current source. I decided +today that it was time to do something about it, and uploaded the +source to my Debian package store at people.skolelinux.org.

+ +

Because it was simpler for me, I made a Debian package and +published the source and deb. If you got a spykee robot, grab the +source or binary package:

+ +

+ +

If you are interested in helping out with developing this library, +please let me know.
