Otto DIY

This Repository have all open source Arduino sketch files and basic libraries for Otto DIY an interactive robot that anyone can make! Otto walks, dances, makes sounds and avoids obstacles. It is completely and truly open source, Arduino compatible, programmable, 3D printable.

This is the beginner version of Otto DIY, we decided to leave github for the main CODES and more advanced programmers that want to suport the project. For the latest changes please go and join our Wikifactory is a similar platform much more easy to use, visual and simple for all the community to collaborate.

Interact with other Otto builders

Welcome to our Otto Builder community! Follow us, give us a like and share your creativity, you could be featured here by sharing your robot in any social media; YouTube Facebook Otto Builder community group in facebook Instagram Twitter Just use the hashtag #ottodiy in your post and tag or mention @OttoDIY Be a part of this friendly community of robot builders, teachers and makers! by joining us here in Wikifactory or our group in Facebook.

Share your innovative creation with #OttoDIY

A redesign, modified code or if your creation is different but inspired in Otto; is technically a remix, so please share in our Wikifactory Social & Design Platform

Here in Github: Contributing to this software is warmly welcomed. You can do this basically by forking, committing modifications and then pulling requests. Please add a change log and your contact into file header.

Thanks for your contribution.

For the quick start programming and learners

1. Download mBlock.cc Version 3; is an opensource software for easy programming Robot by Drop and Drag blocks. Based on Scratch 2.0 (MIT), beside sharing the great feature of graphical coding of Scratch, mBlock also integrates an Arduino Code generator for upload program into any Arduino based Hardware.
2. Add the Otto DIY Extension in mBlock software, swtich in the menu to Arduino mode
3. Drag and drop functions, dance, sounds and conditionals from robot Otto blocks
4. Connect, select Arduino Nano 328 and check the USB COM port
5. Upload your own code and Otto will follow each block command.

Alternatively you can use Arduino Blocks (based on Google Blocly) and Kittenblock (based on Scratch 3.0)

For the advanced programmer

1. Download & Install Arduino IDE 1.8.5 version also [this driver if you have a clone board for PC] (http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_EXE.html), or for MAC
2. Copy all libraries to C:\Users\user\Documents\Arduino\libraries (or wherever your library folder is installed)
3. Open for example OttoDIY_smooth_criminal.ino, make sure in tools you have "Board: Arduino Nano" "Processor ATmega328" and your Otto is connected to the corresponding USB port if you have a new vesrion of Arduino use the old bootloader.
4. Upload code to your Otto and will dance!
5. Make your own dance! just modify the Arduino .ino sketch code using same libraries and functions and do not forget to share.
