Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Cozmo hardware
• iOS or Android device
• USB cable
• Computer running macOS or Linux

Setup

• Plug the mobile device containing the Cozmo app into your computer.
• Open the Cozmo app on the mobile device. Make sure Cozmo is on and connected to the app via WiFi.
• Tap on the gear icon at the top right corner to open the Settings menu.
• Swipe left to show the Cozmo SDK option and tap the Enable SDK button.

Steps

• Install Nix - the purely functional package manager for Linux and macOS.
  • Why Nix?
    • Version managers (e.g. Virtualenv) oftentimes could screw the system up.
    • Docker for Mac can't pass through a USB device to a container.
• Pull this repository.
• Go to a terminal, run below commands (inside the repository directory):

cd cozmosdk

# start an interactive shell based on a Nix expression
# for the first time, it would download all dependencies
# for any further trigger, it would use the cached downloads
nix-shell

# to run an example
cd ../cozmo-python-sdk/examples/tutorials/01_basics/
./01_hello_world.py

# to quit this isolated environment, just run `exit`
