Getting Started with the Autonomous Kit for the Sphero RVR

Software Overview: Part 3 - Sphero SDK

This section will focus on getting started with the Sphero SDK.

1. To begin using the Sphero SDK, users should change the current working directory to the sphero-sdk-raspberrypi-python folder using the following command:
   • cd ~/sphero-sdk-raspberrypi-python
2. Once inside the sphero-sdk-raspberrypi-python folder, users will need to spawn a shell in a virtual environment using the pipenv shell command.
   • This will create a virtual environment if one doesn't already exist.
   • This is the most important step to initializing the Sphero SDK; otherwise, users will run into issues executing any of the examples.
3. After the shell has been activated, users can begin to start using the example code. Navigate around to find a code example.
4. To run a Python example code, use the following command:
   • python3 <File Name>.py
5. Exiting:
   • Use Ctrl+C to interrupt the keyboard control script.
   • To exit the virtual environment shell, type exit or Ctrl+D.
