Sphero API MATLAB SDK

Control Orbotix Sphero from Matlab in m-code!

Control Sphero from MATLAB in m-code!

This project provides a few Matlab classes that can be used to control Sphero from Matlab in m-code. Check out the Sphero website for more information about Sphero, the robotic ball.

Check out this Preview video on YouTube to see what this package can do,

The base class, SpheroCore:

Provides a Matlab interface to Sphero through the Bluetooth object of the Instrument Control Toolbox
Implements the low-level Sphero API (see attached pdf)
Manages Sphero's state
The interface class, SpheroInterface (inherits from SpheroCore):

Adds application-layer functionality to SpheroCore
Overloaded Roll method uses right-handed coordinates
Wrappers for Roll and Configure Locator allow easy correspondence between Roll and Locator coordinate systems
The class, Sphero (inherits from SpheroInterface):

Adds backwards compatibility with Yi Jui's Sphero MATLAB Interface
Wrapper for Roll allows for use of Yi Jui's roll method among others http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/48359-sphero-matlab-interface
I've included some examples and graphical user interfaces for inspiration. Future development including bug-fixes, feature extensions, and even custom-tailored examples will be heavily motivated by user comments and ratings!
