Included Scripts:

OllieTest.py** A simple program that connects to Ollie and flashes the internal RGB LED red to green to blue. You can take it a step further and add ollie.roll commands to make him move using the API.

OlliejoyDrive.py requires PyGame library

Allow you to drive Ollie with a joystick/gamepad. Shows on screen feedback of analog stick as well as speed and heading Currently setup for a Xbox 360 controller.

• Left analog stick controls Ollie's movement, much the like app!

• Holding the Right bumper turns on Ollie's blue 'tail light' to aid in calibration.
