<div dir="ltr">This is great news! I have a BBB and a RC truck I've been meaning to build a robot out of this summer, and this gives me an option to interface with the hardware besides the Python interface.<div><br></div><div>Brad Larson (<a href="https://twitter.com/bradlarson">https://twitter.com/bradlarson</a>) works at a company called SonoPlot that makes robots for research applications, and I believe he's written a few blog posts on how switching to Swift made the software driving those robots more robust (e.g. <a href="http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2014/12/02/why-were-rewriting-our-robotics-software-swift">http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2014/12/02/why-were-rewriting-our-robotics-software-swift</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>Austin</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 6:14 PM, Jon Hoffman via swift-users <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:swift-users@swift.org" target="_blank">swift-users@swift.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there anyone interested in robotics with Swift? I created a Swift library named SwiftyBones (<a href="https://github.com/hoffmanjon/SwiftyBones" target="_blank">https://github.com/hoffmanjon/SwiftyBones</a> )
for the BeagleBone Black to connect to the Digital GPIO, Analog IN and PWM pins
and was interested in feedback on the library by anyone that is familiar with
programming single board computers like the BeagleBone Black or Raspberry PI. I am especially interested in feedback on the
modular design and if it helps or hinders development. I do have a shell script on the SwiftyBones
github page that helps with compiling projects that has multiple source files.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">To see how SwiftyBones can be used for robotics, I created a
reference project using the SwiftBones library.
The github page is here: <a href="https://github.com/hoffmanjon/SwiftyBones_BuddyBot" target="_blank">https://github.com/hoffmanjon/SwiftyBones_BuddyBot</a> . To see the robot in action (definitely a work
in progress) you can see the video on the latest blog post: <a href="http://myroboticadventure.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-first-robot-programmed-in-swift.html" target="_blank">http://myroboticadventure.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-first-robot-programmed-in-swift.html</a> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, </p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><p class="MsoNormal">Jon<u></u><u></u></p>
