LeapMotion-Sphero_Cylonjs

This repo contains mainly js project files, scripts and resources for LeapMotion and Sphero interaction.

how to cylonjs

1. have nodejs already installed
2. have npm ready and updated with npm install -g npm
3. install npm install -g cylon globally if not installed
4. install directly in project workspace npm install cylon cylon-gpio cylon-i2c cylon-leapmotion
5. run test_robot with node test_robot.js

how to Sphero py

1. have python 3.7 or later installed
2. have pip installed and updated py -m pip install --upgrade pip
3. install globally or locally sphero and bleak packages with pip install spherov2 Bleak
4. run test_sphero.py

test_robot.js

just a default helloworld.js with cylon

leap.js

js integration with leap motion tracking log in real time

expected output

leap2.js

js code that detects, obtains and returns user's hand position

expected output x,y,z coordinates

test_sphero.py

py integration of sphero with SpheroEduApi

expected output the sphero mini toy should turn on different led colors and weirdly move a bit.

IMPORTANT

For some reason, leap.js is only working with the tracking software version of Orion V4.1.

TODO

The current plan is to implement the leapmotion input and sphero as output. Leap python sdk is completely deprecated so js is our best shot. Sphero has its own api to develop, despite this we need external development tools such as cylon or py pkgs. After several attemps we still cannot install nor use cylon-sphero package. The last idea was to try using bb8 sphero instead of the mini one, with cylon.

node versin

changing node js version to the one 'compatible' with sphero does not work

leap tracking software version

still need to check if the leap2.js script works with the last version of ultraleap "Gemini"
