I have a bioloid robot and I want to control it using UDOO but with Python (I should program it by Python, It's recommended) I am new in this field, I never programmed robot using any board (UDOO, Arduino or Raspberry Pi) What are the steps I should follow at the beginning? Do I need to install any SDK for Python in the UDOO board? Could you help me in this?
Hi Reem, if this is your first experience you should take a look around on the Internet and look for some tutorials. I especially suggest you to take a look at hackster.io, where you can find many UDOO projects to get inspired. EDIT: udoo.hackster.io
Python is preinstalled so you have nothing to install. I personally like the Geany editor (also preinstalled) because of the python interpretation and the ability to run the python scripts from the UI. Extra libraries you need can be installed by the standard command line tools. (apt-get -install, pip etc) There are also some libraries specially made for the Neo: http://www.udoo.org/docs-neo/UDOO_NEO_made_by_the_Community/Python.html The decision you have to make is how to control your robot: From the Arduino side or Linux side (the Neo is a combination of a Raspberry Pi-ish and an Arduino Uno-ish). You cannot use Python scripts for the Raspberry Pi GPIO directly on the Udoo Neo, they will not work! For an introduction you can also look into my two How-To (see links in my signature) but are not exactly about controlling robots.
