Add support for Pimoroni Flotilla Dock, Rainbow and Motion #27

Closed jdrew1303 closed 4 years ago

jdrew1303 commented 5 years ago

The dock is similar to a usb hub (but handles the firmware to talk to the raw sensors): image Flotilla motion is a basic accelerometer and magnetometer. image The Flotilla Rainbow is a set of RGB LEDs that you can program. image

These are to be used as replacements for the front and back leds of the duckiebot (much cheaper and easier to get). The basic IMU is just a bonus. For 5£ each it wont break the bank but its a cool little addition.

The repo for the python library is here: https://github.com/pimoroni/flotilla-python

(there is also a temp sensor in the motion controller that hasn't been used that could be handy to add in)

I only wanted this as a cheap IMU. Closing in preference to adding an MPU6050 instead (€4 each). 👍
