Playing & programming Sphero


Hi everybody! Hope you are well 🙂 The goal of this post is to tell you that we’ve been playing with the Orbotix’s ball called Sphero and we’ve spent a good time. So we’ve decided to add it to Physical Etoys. We can change its colors, stabilize it, read its sensors and make scripts to move it. We’ve uploaded a short but cool video because we do not have much time to film.

You can download the Sphero .pem to play with Physical Etoys here.

Hope you like it. Have fun!


¡Hola a todos! Espero que anden bien 🙂 Este post es para decirles que estuvimos jugando con la pelota Sphero de Orbotix y realmente nos gustó. Entonces decidimos agregarla a Physical Etoys. Podemos cambiarle su color, estabilizarla, leer sus sensores y realizar guiones para que se mueva. Les dejamos un video corto pero copado ya que no tenemos mucho tiempo para filmar. Esperamos que les guste. Que se diviertan!

Pueden bajar el .pem de Sphero para jugar con Physical Etoys aquí.

Esperamos que les guste. Que se diviertan!

    I previously posted on the site but can’t find it now so I apologize for duplicating this. Has anyone tried to port Physical eToys to Android or export somehow from a computer to mobile runtime format like Java used by Android? I would like to enable students to easily create their own mobile apps that can control things like Sphero.

    Richi, help, i can’t figure out how to connect sphero with the physical etoys. I run this program on a mac with wine (a program that runs pc apps on mac) i know you need to setup c o ms but how do i know which c o m is my sphero, i tested out all of the coms that are defalt ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) but i still cant connect. HELP!

    Hi Pedro. We currently do not support MAC hardware but you can try Physical Etoys with VMWARE & windows virtual machine.
    Otherwise it would be a good idea to know how to map serial ports with wine.
    Cheers,
    Sebas
