How To Connect

The Sphero BB-8 is a Bluetooth LE device. You need to know the BLE ID of the BB-8 you want to connect to. The Gobot BLE client adaptor also lets you connect by friendly name, aka "BB-1247".

import (
  "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/ble"
  "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/sphero/bb8"
)

bleAdaptor := ble.NewClientAdaptor(os.Args[1])
bb8 := bb8.NewDriver(bleAdaptor)
...

How To Use

package main

import (
  "os"
  "time"

  "gobot.io/x/gobot"
  "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/ble"
  "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/sphero/bb8"
)

func main() {
  bleAdaptor := ble.NewClientAdaptor(os.Args[1])
  bb8 := bb8.NewDriver(bleAdaptor)

  work := func() {
    gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() {
      r := uint8(gobot.Rand(255))
      g := uint8(gobot.Rand(255))
      b := uint8(gobot.Rand(255))
      bb8.SetRGB(r, g, b)
    })
  }

  robot := gobot.NewRobot("bb",
    []gobot.Connection{bleAdaptor},
    []gobot.Device{bb8},
    work,
  )

  robot.Start()
}
