Title: Development
Post by: Bluewizard on November 03, 2013, 08:44:25 PM

Hello All,
   I am thinking of getting a Pleo as a pseudo pet and it looks like there is potential as a development platform to play with robotics.

I was wondering how much development people have done with their Pleo?

I have downloaded the PDK but it appears its windows.  I have a Mac has anyone done any work on the mac not in a VM or bootcamp? 

I am fact finding prior to a christmas Pleo RB Blue entering my house.  Which still might happen as they look neat.

By chance is anyone else in the Washington, DC metro area?

Thanks
-Ryan

VM or bootcamp does the trick, but some of it is mac friendly, just not the compiler. All the people who started trying to program Pleo have disappeared :( So not a lot has been achieved beyond the skits from the original Pleo's.

The only set of build tools for the Ugobe Pleo's that work 100% correctly are the Windows ones. The Innovo tools for the Pleo rbs are Windows only so either way you'll need a way to run the Windows tools.
