RubyLoco Hack Night: Sphero!

require 'sphero'
require 'pry'

FORWARD = 0
RIGHT = 90
BACKWARD = 180
LEFT = 270

SLOW = 100
FAST = 200

tty = `ls -d /dev/* | grep tty.Sphero`.chomp

puts "Connecting to #{tty}"
Sphero.start tty do
  puts ping
  binding.pry
  
  # you will now be kicked into an "irb" like session where you can use the commands:
  # roll FORWARD, SLOW
  # stop

end

Change the color of your sphero:

Turn red for 1 second

sphero.rgb 0, 204, 0
sphero.keep_going 1

"ping" the sphero and output the result so you know you're connected:

puts sphero.ping

# simple circle program
require 'sphero'
require './common'

FORWARD = 0
RIGHT = 90
BACKWARD = 180
LEFT = 270

SLOW = 100
FAST = 200

# you're sphero's serial port
tty = '/dev/tty.Sphero-RWR-RN-SPP'
Sphero.start tty do
    puts ping 

    roll SLOW, FORWARD
    keep_going 1

    roll SLOW, RIGHT
    keep_going 1

    roll SLOW, BACKWARD
    keep_going 1

    roll SLOW, LEFT
    keep_going 1

    roll SLOW, FORWARD
    keep_going 1

    stop
end
