Dependencies

This project uses bleak as bluetooth python library instead of the more common bluepy as it only works on Linux, not on Windows/macOS. Also asyncio for asyncronous programming, so the syntax looks a lot like tha java script in the Sphero Eduo App.

The project is developed on Windows 10 using Python 3.8.7. The newer Python 3.9 versions don't work as bleak is not compatible with it as of now.

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
