Say hello to my little friend

Tux Droid

I recently bought myself a Tux Droid from Kysoh. It kicks ass. I’m currently writing a ruby interface library for it. It comes with a python API for interfacing with a C daemon, but I’m writing a direct interface between Ruby and the robot using Ruby-USB. So far I can initialise the USB interface and send commands to the robot, but I need to do more research to know if its safe or not.

I might write a ruby client for the daemon as well when I get a bit more clued up on socket programming with Ruby.

I also need to work out how to get it working with my MacBook so I can mess around with it on the go.
