I should have a new version of the PiDroidAlpha User Manual and the corresponding new version of PDALib.py (RoboPi API compatibility layer for PiDroidAlpha) posted later today… I just have to correct a few typos 🙂

In other news…

PDALib.py v0.90 Python API for Pi Droid Alpha released – and it is RoboPi compatible.

Tuesday, August 25th, 2015

I’ve uploaded the first release version of the Python API for Pi Droid Alpha, and it is compatible with the Python API for RoboPi.

Yep, this means you can start building your robots with Pi Droid Alpha, and when you need a more powerful robot controller, you can move up to RoboPi – and your existing code will run!

PiDroidAlpha & RoboPi = same Python API

Thursday, July 30th, 2015

Ok, I can’t sit on this any longer.

The Pi Droid Alpha Python API is 99% compatible with the RoboPi Python API !!!

This means that you can have a mixture of Pi Droid Alpha and RoboPi based Raspberry Pi robots, and the Python programs you write will work on either platform!

Ok, there are some limitations, due to the different architecture of RoboPi and Pi Droid Alpha, however as long as you keep your servos, PWM outputs, and ultrasonic sensors on pins 0-7, your programs will run the same on both controllers.

This limitation is due to Pi Droid Alpha only having eight servo/PWM/ping capable FlexIO pins with an additional 16 digital I/O only pins, whereas RoboPi has 24 FlexIO pins (made possible by RoboPi’s eight core 32 bit RISC co-processor)

Some of the API may seem a bit familiar to you:

pinMode(), digitalRead(), digitalWrite(), analogRead(), analogWrite(), servoRead() and servoWrite()

along with some less familiar additions like readMode(), readDistance() and more.

readDistance() is not implemented on Pi Droid Alpha yet… however I am working on it.
