Getting Started

We've devoted some serious time to trying to make sure that it's easy to get started. If you're lost, we would like to first direct you to our [website for the BrickPi] (http://www.dexterindustries.com/BrickPi/getting-started/)

This Repository

This repository only holds firmware and hardware designs.
Python - If you're looking for our BrickPi Python libraries, look here: https://github.com/DexterInd/BrickPi_Python

C - If you're looking for the BrickPi C Libraries, look here: https://github.com/DexterInd/BrickPi_C

Scratch - If you're looking for the BrickPi Scratch libraries, look here: https://github.com/DexterInd/BrickPi_Scratch

Image for the SD Card

Our custom image for the Raspberry Pi makes using the BrickPi easy. We've modified wheezy a little bit. You can download the latest image here on our getting started section.

Firmware

The board firmware is made in Arduino in order to make it super-hackable. The firmware is written in Arduino 1.0 and can be uploaded via an ISP programmer. It can also be uploaded with an Arduino Uno, with an adapter explained in this repository.

The board supports LEGO NXT motors, EV3 motors, and LEGO NXT sensors, as well as many of Dexter Industries sensors for LEGO Mindstorms.
