This repository contains two Python scripts written for LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime robots programmed with Pybricks. These projects demonstrate how to control LEGO robots with an Xbox Controller, enabling either a boxing robot or a remote-controlled car.
Before running the code, ensure you have the following:
- A LEGO SPIKE™ Prime or equivalent hub.
- Motors connected to your hub as described in the code.
- Pybricks firmware installed on your hub. Follow the official installation guide.
- An Xbox Controller (compatible with Bluetooth).
This script implements a boxing robot that mimics boxing actions using an Xbox controller. The robot includes tank drive movement and arm mechanisms for punching and defending.
- Tank Drive: The robot moves forward, backward, and turns using the controller's triggers and left joystick.
- Punching Mechanism: Pressing the RB or LB buttons on the controller makes the left or right arm punch.
- Defense Mode: Pressing the A button activates both arms to move into a defensive position.
- Left Drive Motor: Port A
- Right Drive Motor: Port B
- Left Arm Motor: Port C
- Right Arm Motor: Port D
- RT/LT (Triggers): Control forward and backward movement.
- Left Joystick (X-axis): Adjust steering.
- RB Button: Punch with the right arm.
- LB Button: Punch with the left arm.
- A Button: Activate defense mode.
This script implements a remote-controlled car with steering and an optional arm mechanism. It supports two modes: Car Mode (default) and Arm Mode.
- Car Mode:
- Steering: Controlled by the left joystick (X-axis).
- Driving Power: Controlled by RT (accelerate) and LT (reverse).
- Arm Mode:
- The arm motor is controlled by the left joystick (Y-axis).
- Steering Motor: Port B
- Power Motor: Port D
- Arm Motor (optional): Port E
- Left Joystick (X-axis): Steering in Car Mode.
- RT/LT (Triggers): Drive forward and reverse in Car Mode.
- Left Joystick (Y-axis): Control arm movement in Arm Mode.
- Y Button: Toggle between Car Mode and Arm Mode.
- Install Pybricks firmware on your hub by following the official guide.
- Connect the appropriate motors to the hub ports as described in the scripts.
- Copy the desired script (
Boxing.pyorRemote-Car.py) to the hub using the Pybricks code editor. - Pair your Xbox controller with the hub via Bluetooth.
- Run the script on your hub and control your robot using the Xbox controller.
- Ensure the Xbox controller is properly connected to the hub. If it fails to connect, the program will retry until the connection is established.
- Verify motor connections and directions match the ports and configuration in the code.
- Add more feedback to the controller, such as vibrations or LED signals.
- Implement additional modes and functionality, such as autonomous features or sensor integration.
