The GoPiGo is a delightful and complete robot for the Raspberry Pi that turns your Pi into a fully operating robot. GoPiGo is a mobile robotic platform for the Raspberry Pi developed by Dexter Industries.

This repository contains Go library for interacting with the GoPiGo robot. This is a port of python library of GoPiGo in Go language.

Getting Started

Get the source with: go get -d -u github.com/droot/gopigo

Simple example

package main

import (
  "github.com/droot/gopigo"
  "github.com/kidoman/embd"

  _ "github.com/kidoman/embd/host/all"
)

func main() {
  if err := embd.InitI2C(); err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
  defer embd.CloseI2C()

  bus := embd.NewI2CBus(1)

  // create GoPiGo instance.
  gp := gopigo.New(bus)

  // move GoPiGo forward by 40 cms
  err := gp.fwd(40)

  // move GoPiGo backward
  err = gp.Bwd(0)

  // make GoPiGo stop
  err = gp.Stop()

  // make GoPiGo take Left turn
  err = gp.Left()

  // make GoPiGo take right turn
  err = gp.Right()


  // Read Battery level of GoPiGo
  volt, err := gp.BatteryVoltage()
