Re: [DIYbio] OpenTrons BioBot: Open-Source DIY Liquid Handling Robot!

John,


Yes indeed, the smoothieboard by Arthur Wolf and Mark Cooper. 

The ROS is awesome but overkill for our purposes -- we are just using a Node.js server on the Rpi to create g-code and send it to the smoothieboard. 

And yes, BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy, aka Bluetooth 4.0.

When you say Smoothie, do you mean a smoothieboard by Arthur Wolf, ( http://shop.uberclock.com/products/smoothieboard),
or just the Smoothie code?  Smoothie is a real time OS in its own right, so my guess is not running on the R-Pi.

I'm interested in using platforms like the R-Pi to run ROS, (Robot Operating System), to orchestrate microcontroller
based bots using smoothie on STM32 micros.

BLE means Bluetooth Low Energy or something else?
