RPi API

I work with educating kids about robotics. One of the organizations that I work with has just ordered a bittle. I have been watching the opencat develop since very ear;y days when it popped up on Haster.io


All the educators that I work with are teaching with either scratch based for younger kids or python based for older kids. I notice the low level functionality of the robot is Ardunio based. I did also notice the is a graphical interface developed as well. I also notice that RPi can be connected to the NyBoard as well.


I need to do some research and learn how to drive the robot for when it arrives. I would like to know more about the RPi interface. Can the RPi act like a master and just send serial commands to the Nyboard for it to carry out?? How do most user use the RPi interface, do they program it in python??


I haven't been able to find good links to info about an RPi API for Brittle or a link to info about teh graphical interface can anyone provide more info and links to the need info??


Thanks in advance

Micopython firmware is written in C so once you have working C functions for BiBoard then it is just a case of adding the C fuctions to the open source ESP32 Micopython firmware then creating a python wrapper(cut and paste the standard wrapper) so that the C functions can be called by python.


I look forward to the bittle arriving and having a play with it.
