#ps3 controlled robot using picon zero board and edukit chassis by Robin Newman May31 2016
#led added to output 5 with a series resistore 270 ohms
#motors powers through 4xAA battery pack
#ps3 afterglow wireless contrller, dongle in pizero usb socket
#needs sudo apt-get install joystick after sudo apt-get update
#this file placed in /usr/local/bin and sudo chmod 755 access set
#also in /usr/local/bin piconzero.py library file
#separate desktop file placed in ~/.config/autostart to start program running on boot
