This folder contains python code that runs on a PC, e.g. to communicate with a robotling via WLAN, as well as hexbug/robotling configuration examples:

• test_mqtt.py - Simple example script that illustrates how to receive MQTT telemetry from a robotling
• hexbug_relay.py Script that resends HexBug robotling MQTT messages under "proper" topics
• "Typical" configuration examples for different robotlings:
  • hexbug_config.py__blue_1IR - one IR distance sensor, WiFi, LSM9DS0-type compass
  • hexbug_config.py__black3IR - three smaller IR sensors, WiFi, CMPS12-type compass, and an AMG88XX GRID-Eye IR 8x8 thermal camera from Adafruit

The subfolder robotling contains the code that runs on the roboter.

IMPORTANT: The robotling code now relies on the drivers in robotling_lib, which has to be clones into the robotling folder on the development PC.

The folder modules/blob contains the C code for a simple module that takes a camera image (i.e. from the thermal camera), detects "blobs" and returns them as a list. This module has to be built into the Micropython firmware; see notes in the module/blob folder.

The subfolder firmware contains precompiled images of the current MicroPython firmware including umqtt and blob.
