The initial goal for this project was to build a project enclosure out of wood. I initially had no idea what project I would do with it. I designed the dimensions so that an Arduino could fit inside the box and allow for some space on top for a shield, some sensors and buttons....
You can now find the code of the twitter robot on my github at: https://github.com/pchretien/tweetbot Feel free to fork … copying is not stealing! :)...
I just received my Beaglebone and started experimenting with it. The Beaglebone is a low cost, single board Linux computer with tons of IOs to interface with the physical world. My objective is to make a Python Robot using the Beaglebone as the brain and my Makerbot to build the frame. I found an...
I presented this project at the 28th Montréal Python meeting. I posted the slides of the presentation in my previous post here. The objective of this project was to demonstrate the use of pyserial and XBee to wirelessly control a robot. This project was also my first attempt at using the Tweepy library. The...
Today at 18:30h, I’ll make a short presentation at the 28th edition of the Montreal Python. I’ll present my PyGame Wireless Game Controller and a robot controller by the web.

I thought it could be fun to write a small program in Python using Bluetooth. I then read an article about the explosion in popularity of Bluetooth devices and decided to write a small program that would detect Bluetooth devices in a specific location. A trace of all these devices would then be kept in...
