blue dot feature blue dot app

Created by Martin O’Hanlon, @martinohanlon, stuffaboutco.de.

start

Install and usage is really simple:

Get a Blue Dot app
Pair your Raspberry Pi
Install the Python library

Write some code:

from bluedot import BlueDot
bd = BlueDot()
bd.wait_for_press()
print("You pressed the blue dot!")

Press the Blue Dot

See the getting started guide to ‘get started’!

The Blue Dot is a joystick as well as button, you can tell if the dot was pressed in the middle, on the top, bottom, left or right. Perhaps create a BlueDot controlled Robot.

Why be restricted by such vague positions like top and bottom though, you can get the exact x, y position or even the angle and distance from centre where the dot was pressed.

Its not all about when the button was pressed either - pressed, released or moved they all work.

You can press it, slide it, swipe it - one blue circle can do a lot.

even more

The online documentation describes how to use Blue Dot and the Python library including Recipes and ideas.

status

Beta - it works well, the api is stable but errors maybe experienced for edge cases. Be sure to raise an issue if you experience problems.
